Curry Bee: Japanese Curry for Extending Your Palate

Mr. C and I head to Blue Bay for some errands. I told him I was hungry and he recommended this Japanese Curry place named Curry Bee. Since Japanese Curry is a fairly new dish to me, I grabbed this opportunity to enlist a new discovery.

The place specializes in Japanese Curry Rice (Kare Raisu) dishes. Each curry rice meal costs between 300-500 pesos so prepare at least 300 if you're heading to this restaurant.

IT'S CHOWTIME!

At first I thought that Japanese curry is the same with the familiar curry dishes that we have. I was wrong. It's WAY better. Anyhow, here is the list of food that we tried:

MIXED BERRY (PHP 100), left
Let's start with the drinks. Mr. C orders Mixed Berry shake. It is refreshing!

JAPANESE GREEN TEA (PHP 118), right

I was claiming to drink something healthy so I chose to order hot Japanese green tea. You can also opt to have it served cold.

PRAWN CURRY (295)

I love prawns so this was what I selected. I can't get enough of the crunchiness of this dish. This was  when Mr. C and I discovered that prawn definitely suits with Japanese curry. So if you're a prawn lover like me, you should definitely try this one.

Malen's Restaurant: Cavite's Hidden Gem of Native Marvels

Established in 1994, Malen's has proven its influence but still remains as one of Cavite's hidden gems because of its outlying location in Noveleta, Cavite. The reputation that it has gained not just in the food and catering services but also the architectural aspect cannot be overlooked.

With all the decorations featuring old relics such as newspapers, photos, artifacts, military keepsakes, etc., the interiors of the restaurant will bring you that museum vibe.

Sekitori: Abundant Servings, Horigotatsu and Slow Service

Mr. C and I were with some friends one afternoon exploring Little Tokyo to try out some Japanese chow. We saw Sekitori then I took a peak if the place looked presentable. What caught my attention was the Japanese themed ambiance so I immediately dragged Mr. C and our friends to give it a try.

It is a rare customary for Japanese restaurants nowadays, especially here in Manila to require customers from removing their shoes before going inside the dining area. So this is already one remarkable aspect of Sekitori that makes it interesting to eat there.

A Taste Test: Teavana from Starbucks
