Tuna Panga & Buntot Dinner

Tuna Panga & Buntot Dinner
********
Hubby came from Davao and brought home these Grilled Tuna Panga and Buntot.
Just looks a bit dark because of the burnt skin, 
but it's quite delicious.
Chopped fresh tomatoes and salted red egg,
as a side dish for the grilled tuna.
Hubby doesn't like eating vegetables. So i make soup with
all sorts of vegetables. This time I made Misua Soup with Upo
(bottle gourd or white squash in English).
We had Red Velvet 'Pancake' Bundt Cake for dessert.

Sambokojin ... nth post!!!


I have lost count on how many times we've dined at this place.
.. and have forgotten how many times I have written and posted photos
of this restaurant.  Sambokojin is one of our favorite places to eat.
Others are Outback, Friday's, Causeway, Pho Hoa, and Kogi.
All these restaurants are in Eastwood or in Libis, Quezon City,
which is about 7 minutes from where we live.
********
These are breaded fried pork cutlets, chicken, fish or kani.
with black and white sesame seeds and the sweet, a bit spicy
tonkatsu sauce.  You can eat as many breaded fried things as you can.
 You can also have as much as you can consume 
shredded cabbage and steamed rice as you like,
even Kamameshi Rice!!!
Plus other Japanese and Korean dishes...
and grill your own shrimps, beef, salmon, tuna.
For the price of one Katsu set meal at Yabu.
********
I don't really understand why local bloggers still rave about Yabu.
When their breaded fried pork or chicken, even the soft shell crab,
had very little meat, were only paper thin slices of pork or chicken;
  were just a lot bread crumbs and were way too oily.  
********
 Why go to Yabu, when you can have Kamameshi Rice 
all you can and not just Steamed Rice?
Why go to Yabu, when you can even have several
plates of sashimi and sushi?
********
Why go to Yabu, when you can have as much as you want 
lettuce to roll your freshly grilled Korean beef?
********
Why go to Yabu, when you can have Yasai Itame all you want 
and Salmon Head Teppanyaki?
********
Why go to Yabu, when you can grill all these and so much more?
********
Why go to Yabu at all? Go to Sambokojin.
We always do.
********
..... and btw, I pay for our meals, just saying!
