Katsu Sora, Eastwood Mall, QC

Katsu Sora's Salad Soup & Rice Buffet

At Katsu Sora again!  This time I brought some

of my dearest travel buddies with me. 

 ***

Always good to share a meal with my trustworthy, 

loving, patient and kind travel buddies, aka

DTBFF / dearest travel buddy friends forever.

Vanilla Cupcake Bakery, Eastwood Mall, QC

Vanilla Cupcake Bakery is located at the 2nd Floor

of the Eastwood Mall in Libis, Quezon City.

They also have a branch at the UP Town Center

and at the Alabang Town Center.

Maybe they have more branches around the metro

and that's really good.

Cupcake stores in the States have been closing shop

but not here in Manila.  If the cupcakes are as creamy

and delicious as these cupcakes,  I don't think 

Vanilla Cupcake Bakery will ever close shop.

Red Velvet Cheesecake (Php120)

Salted Caramel Cheesecake (Php140) 

Coffee Walnut Salted Caramel Cupcake (Php110)

( At the Town Center, they served their cupcakes on

mini cake stands. Just lovely!)

Cafe Americano (Php95)

I just love their light fixtures and everything else in

this pretty, cozy and calm  Sweet Shop!

Salads 

I particularly loved the Ripe Papaya & Roast Pork Salad

with Caesar Salad Dressing. 

( Didn't add lettuce or other veggies.  I was a bit cautious lest I get an upset tummy.

That is for another story.  Had a bad episode with eating salads during the Holy Week.)

***

Deep dish Pizzas,  Assortment of Crusty Breads and Soup

Breads were freshly baked. Sarap.

I am such a carbo loader!

Pasta Station

Hamburger Station

Now, the various dishes. They were all very appetizing.

I liked their version of Chicken Galantina that had

Malunggay and Cream Sauce.  Extremely Delicious!

***

Crab & Corn Fried Rice

Pancit Sotanghon with Squid Ink

***

Crepe Station

Fruits and Mini Cakes

More desserts... ccokies, cheesecakes & Leche Flan

Cupcake Ferris Wheel & Chocolate Fountain

***

This is the star of the Buffet.  Their Lechon.

Every Sunday, they serve a different kind of Lechon.

Last time we were here, they had Crab Fat Paella stuffed Lechon.

This time, the waiter said it's Cebu Lechon.

But I noticed that they served it with the usual Sarsa.

Anyway, the Lechon had very thin crispy skin and

tender juicy lechon meat. It didn't have that

"piggy" taste or smell.  I'd say the lechon was "fragrant"

and superbly delectable. Sobrang Sarap lang talaga.

This buffet was featured in Jessica Soho's show a few months ago 

and was called "Three Little Pigs Buffet".

There's more dear friends... buffet only costs Php 399.

Pupunta pa ba kayo doon sa isang restawran na may numero
ang mga mesa?  Never!

Yutaka Isakaya ... a favorite Japanese restaurant

Yutaka Isakaya ... is our favorite Japanese restaurant

to dine at whenever I go for doctor's appointments

at UERM.  It serves authentic Japanese food, served on 

attractive, pretty stoneware, with adorable and lovely 

delicate designs.  This place is a 'common secret'

among the UERM physicians and students.

But not a secret anymore! Been going to this restaurant

for a quite a long time now.  Best to stick with

our all- time favorite dining places.

Reasonably priced dishes and friendly staff!

They serve you tea even if you don't ask.

***

California Maki and Sashimi for starters.

Agedashi  Tofu, Fried Rice without garlic

and my own California Maki (not for sharing)

***

Really love Tofu! 

***

Fried Rice good for two people.

But I didn't share this. Just for me, okay?

California Maki, with the sweetest mangoes!!!

Love this sooo much!

Son's Beef & Rice Topping which comes with Miso Soup.

Katsudon ... so yummy!

Uni Sashimi ... only Php 110

Fresh, buttery, creamy and of course, yummy!

***

A Set Meal good for three (3) people.

This restaurant never fails to deliver fresh authentic

Japanese dishes.  Their friendly and hospitable

staff makes you want to come back.

Their food served on clean dainty delicate pretty 

stoneware / ceramic dishes and not wooden bowls.

No popular newbie chefs here. 

No TV personalities endorsing this place.

Just humble and polite Japanese chefs who bow when

you enter their restaurant.
