How do I love Italianni's? Let me count the ways, days, times we've dined there...

Sometime in March ... Ultimate Rib Platter
One fine afternoon merienda cena...
With my first Saturday Mass Prayer Group
With the two boys on my birthday...
A quick lunch ...
These are my favorites... crusty warm bread dipped in
balsamic vinegar and olive oil, Caesar's Salad 
and toasted raviolis.
Great Breakfast at Italianni's

Yutaka Izakaya ... for reasonably priced Japanese food.

Yutaka Izakaya ... Yutaka means wealthy.
Izakaya means informal gastropub or sit-down sake shop.
***
Yutaka Izakaya is our go-to place for reasonably
priced Japanese food,  This is also where Alvin
and I park our vehicle (that is, in front of the restaurant)
 whenever I I have doctors' appoinments at UERM.  
So I always look forward to visiting my doctors 
because I get to eat authentic Japanese dishes. 

We came from Manila to pick up Alvin after
his Board Exams last weekend. When I asked 
the HubB where we were having dinner,
he said, "Yutaka ... they always have UNI
at Yutaka Izakaya!"
......   and what goes with uni? 
 Beer, of course, it's his favorite beverage.

 I was actually trying to take a photo of
the Itamae or the Japanese chef, who probably
also owns this resutoran or restaurant in Nihongo,
but  he walked away when I clicked the camera.

Uni costs only Php150 per order.
***
Tonkatsu Curry ... Alvin's favorite!
Agedashi Tofu, Ebi Tempura and Chahan
... whether buffet or a la carte,
I always eat these. 
***
Set Meal ... Pork Teriyaki with Tamagoyaki and
Ebi Fry, served with Gohan and Miso Soup
for only Php 190.
Now that is value for our hard earned money.

Two other times we had dinner at Yutaka Izakaya
but I was a bit  lazy to blog.  Hee hee hee
