RUB rib & Bbq

Rub ribs and BBQ a small quaint little place hidden at Scout Rallos if you didn't ask their actual location you would not find it since the number on the street a bit out of place

                    The exterior of Rub at Scout Rallos.

  The second floor dinning area with veranda which I think is for smoker.

   The first floor counter and kitchen a bit small actually for a restaurant.

       The second floor dinning area  where there are only 4 set of table for 4 people sitting and 2 set of table for couples

                            
     In case you're bringing kids along just be careful that they don't play along this railing.

 

                                                       The menu board

                          
                          Rub house blend ice Tea - P110 good for 4 people

   There ice Tea has a nice blend of calamansi flavor in it.

                                  Duo rib - P205 good for 2 people

   It consist of 2 side dish of coleslaw and grill butter corn and the dipping sauce good for 2 people

                                   Chicken Cajun Pasta - P200

  When you mention Cajun it's a bit spicy since my daughter always order Cajun rice from another restaurant but this one is just right without any spice with strip of grill chicken and the pasta sauce really creamy

                               Buffalo Chicken sandwich - P190

  Fried crumble chicken fillet with lettuce and tomato with coleslaw and french fries. I think it's better that they made it into 1 pattie so that the chicken will not fall off after every bites

                                Buffalo Chicken Wings   -  P255.00

   Super Crispy Chicken Wing with a cheese dipping sauce. Don't know if they forgot to put the spicy sauce on the chicken as it come out just plain fried chicken wing

Yabu: House of Katsu at Robinson Magnollia

I was lucky to be chosen by Yabu to try their new dish the soft shell crab and was curious about the food since Soft shell crab is not readily available in our local market.

 Yabu at Robinson Magnolia, the place is a bit smaller than their1st branch at megamall.

                              The same japanese cup inspire pattern.

                          The different condiment to add to you katsu.

     The instructional manual in how to grind the sesame seed and adding the sauce for  your dip.

       Actually my second time to eat at Yabu and this is the first time that they offer wet towel to their guest.

                                    Soft Shell Crab - P480.00

Which include rice, miso soup pickle vegetable, shredded cabbage, fruits (2 slices ofwatermelon and pineapple) and the dipping sauce.

My first impression of the soft shell crab is the upper top of the crab that is soft but never thought that the legs, claw and the interior of the crab are also that soft that you just have to eat it directly without the having to crack the shell anymore. Have to give this prize to my son who so love to eat crab that every crook and cranny of the shell crab he really cleans it out.

                                       Chicken Katsu : P195

   It include a breast of chicken katsu, potato croquette, shredded cabbage, japanese rice, edamame, fruits (pineapple and watermelon) and 2 dipping sauce.

   All of Yabu's katsu are super delicious and crispy no wonder people kept coming back for more including me and don't mind the long line just to eat at Yabu's.

   I also want to thank Miss Sol (resident Manager) and her assistant for making us feel at home at Yabu. That she really went from table to table asking her guest if they enjoy their meal. This kind of gesture is hardly visible now a days but they really make an effort even when the guest are started to pour in. No wonder that it's always full at Yabu not only are the food wonderful even their personnel are courteous.

Nomama Artisan Ramen Dessert Platter

I was lucky to be chosen by Nomama in their twitter contest to avail of the free Dessert Platter.

 Nomama exterior fascade. The place is easy to find just a few steps from Roces Ave., and a blog away from Tomas Morato

                        
 Who would think of  using their store name as Christmas decoration? Lovely isn't it?

   Using toy plane as decoration realy nice to draw some attention to those who bring their kids along.

        There Utensil box with a small Christmas Tree on the side. Lovely.

 The oval shape iss actually a plate, the only thing is if I have zoom it closer there are scratches in the plate and only melaware plate can get scratches.  Since the place well interior at least they made an effort in using china for the serving plate. The bowl are all in china except this one.

                     

                      

 A sample of Nomama menu list this Christmas. A bit expensive especially for the Ramen.

  Above and below is the dessert platter.good for 4 person. Above is the buttermilk biscuit with fresh strawberry with a sprinkle of sugar on top and Yazu cream (there is also another option of white chocolate with Wasabi)  and the pink stick is a pretzel stick dip in pink chocolate

  The 4 cups are panacota with slice os Lychees and next is the chocolate cake in my opinion this is a flourless chocolate cake dirzzle with caramel sauce .as you bit into the cake it really melts in your mouth just as if you're eating just chocolate bar. The Turones with slices of saba and some nut topping not sure if it's chocnut or any other nut spread but delicious.
