Nihonbashi Tei, Malate ♥ ♥ ♥

 

 

I am so happy to discover that Nihonbashi Tei Makati also has a branch in Malate. The Manila branch is brighter, less crowded, has more Japanese clients, and is much closer to home. I just know we’ll be back many, many, many times.

 

Edamame beans – I wish the beans were seasoned and not boiled in plain water only,
but this doesn’t really stop me from popping them nonstop into my mouth

 

We’re seated at a long table and everyone does his or her own ordering.

 

From the oldies side of the table:

Lapu-Lapu Sashimi

 

Agedashi Tofu

 

Fried Prawns

 

Clams

 

Chicken Teriyaki

 

Chasho Ramen

 

My brother is on a diet (or at least he’s TRYING to be) and orders this plate of assorted sushi:

Bo-ring.

 

Frances and I, on the other hand, are NOT on a diet and we order all these delicious foodsssss to share between us:

Salmon Sashimi – fresh and fatty goodness

 

Uni Sashimi – creamy and buttery

 

Toro Spicy Maki – exciting flavors and textures

 

Unaju – sweet and delicious, always a winner

 

Miso Soup

 

And ta-da! Japan Beef Sukiyaki!

 

Here’s the Japan Beef.
It may not look like much with the not-so-natural colors and freezer burns here and there, but believe me when I say these are the softest, most flavorful slices of beef I’ve had in a while here in Manila. Literally melt in your mouth. Definitely worth the P3,000 price tag.

 

I am so not sharing my bowl of love ♥
