Domo Tomo in Nuvali, Sta. Rosa, Laguna

We had a day trip to Nuvali in celebration of our second anniversary. Once we had drove past the place when we went to Tagaytay last year. There are a variety of restaurants in Solenad. Most of which are also located in Manila so we did settle for something new and unheard of, Domo Tomo. It is a small Japanese restaurant. I bet it can only hold 50 diners, maximum. 

Sakura sushi, a combination of tamago sushi, crabmeat sushi, salmon sashimi, tuna sashimi and squid sashimi. (Php 325)

I barely remember this kind of ramen but it left me craving for more. It has generous serving of eggs and crab meat.

California Maki. The serving is crazy huge. Its your usual maki but in jumbo version. Delicious! I have always love california maki.

Pork Katsudon. I was overwhelmed with the serving. It left me full until dinner time. (Php 210)

It was a good choice trying something new. Price is so far reasonable. Servings are not the usual size. We ordered only for two and yet we were really full.The only thing that caught my attention was the ventilation.  I think there was something wrong with their aircon when we visited.  However, definitely, we are getting back. 

Teriyaki Boy Gateway Branch

We were supposed to eat at Red Crab last Saturday but their buffet promo ended already which made us settle for Teriyaki Boy instead.

Just as always, I let my bf pick the foods for us. He's a connoisseur of restaurants haha. Here's what we ordered.

Chashu Ramen - 150 (Regular)
(It is served with roast pork slices or chashu, Japanese fish cakes or kamaboko, hardboiled egg, nori strips and bokchoy or pechay. Pour in a Japanses teapot of shoyu, a light Japaneses soy and pork-based broth with a hint of ginger and seaweed or konbou.

Suki Beef Teppan Don - 160

This was what my bf ordered for himself. The beef is so tender. The rice felt slimy because of the raw egg yolk. It was delicious nevertheless.

Katsudon - 160

Ika Fry - 150

California Roll - 125

I so love their roll! Usually, when we eat, I would haggle with my bf so he would eat more of the food I don't like so much. But, in this case, I was able to eat half of the serving. Good thing, there was no cucumber(as I don't eat it). The rice is incomparable from the other two maki rolls I have tasted in other restaurants. It was superb. :)

For the drinks, we ordered bottomless iced tea. We were glad that their service is good. They were aware when our glasses needed to be refilled already. Thumbs up! The only thing I would complain was the ventilation. It was warm. Or maybe, it was just because we where beside the window and the sun is at its peak that noon time. ;)

North Park Noodle House Trinoma

A day before our planned date, my bf asked me where would I want to eat. He was craving for Chinese cuisine that's why we settled for North Park Noodle House. He thought of SuperBowl but then, we have just eaten there a week before.

Yang Chow Fried Rice

Boneless Honey Lemon Chicken

Chicken Feet
I wasn't able to eat it. My bf ate it all, unaware I haven't ate a single piece. ;)

3 Kinds Mushroom w/ Broccoli
I love this dish. Or was I just a bit biased? Mushrooms are my favorite.

Shark's Fin Siomai

Fresh Prawn Dumpling


Prawn Dumpling Noodles
The soup is sumptuous. I enjoyed it even at the last spoonful of it.

After eating, we felt like we gained some pounds already. We were really full. We went out for a stroll at the mall then had a coffee at Starbucks and we even bought a cake at Red Ribbon. It was our first monthsary and we decided to buy a cake every 16th of the month. :)

Sakae Sushi; All Day Sushi Buffet

It’s been ages since I ate a sushi. I remember we made some when I was in college. Unfortunately, it was a failure hehe. With my bf craving for Japanese food, we went to Sakae sushi at SM North Edsa Annex for sushi overload. They have all-day sushi buffet, 399 pesos for adults and 199 for kids. It comes with free miso soup and a choice of hot or cold bottomless green tea. They have no left-over/no sharing policy for the sushi buffet. Sub charges will also be imposed on food wastage. You may also grab whatever sushi plates you want and just pay for it depending on the number and color of plates you consumed.

Purple plate – Php 39
Yellow plate – Php 59
Green plate – Php 79
Red plate – Php 99

The sushi conveyor belt fascinated as it was my first time to eat there. I feasted on my eyes on the parade of sushi beside me. They all looked tasty. Yum! I let my bf get the sushi he fancies. He’s been twice to Sakae Sushi at MOA.



A single piece sushi is quite a mouthful. It is overstuffed with rice. After eating a few, I felt full already.

I wasn't able to take photos of all the sushis we've picked at the conveyor belt because I was helping myself to the food haha. Here are some of the sushi varieties. I wasn't able to name some of them.

California Mini Maki

Tamago Sushi


Tempura


(this is definitely a must-try)

This is my most unforgettable part of our sushi overload, Japanese Ginger. It is said to help cleanse the palate. It has antiseptic properties, and was originally eaten with sushi to counter the ill effects of bad fish. It is somewhat sweet and minty.

We enjoyed our meal and was able to finish more than 23 plates. Imagine that? we were only two. :)
