Yakikai Brings a Whole New Fusion Cuisine Experience in Tomas Morato

Hey guys! Its been a while but we are back with a new foodie spot to hang out with our friends and

family! 

I am a big fan of Korean and Japanese food and this place that just opened last week is definitely

my new favorite spot because it is a fusion of my favorite cuisine - Yaki Kai Buffet Restaurant.

As more and more Filipinos enjoy different cuisines in the metro, a new kind of fusion cuisine has just

opened up in Tomas Morato, Quezon City - Yakikai Buffet Restaurant. 

From the Japanese words Yaki that means to grill and Kai which means together, This Japanese fusion

restaurant has got you covered with your cravings all year around with your friends and family. 

This Japanese concept along with a Korean flair with its variety of flavors that will satisfy your hunger

just like kings and queens at court. 

 

One of the things I do keep in mind when dining out is if my mother will love it because as complex my

taste in food is would be the total opposite from my mom and I keep in mind if the restaurant will also

suit her taste so if I bring her to the restaurant she would also love it - This restaurant actually made that

possible because it offers a variety of food fitted for everyone! 

They have three sets available for your cravings: Master Set (399php) Premium Set (499php) and

the Emperor set (599php) but since they are on their soft opening, you can enjoy these sets for only

299php, 399php and 499php. This soft opening is available till January 30 2020 so make sure to drop by

soon.

Here are the sets 

The Master Set (Soft Opening Promo 299PHP)

The Master Set is composed of six variety of pork and poultry along with the buffet of Japanese and

Korean dishes you can pick from. The six flavors are: Chicken Teriyaki, Spicy Chicken Teriyaki,

Samgyupsal, Spicy Samgyupsal, Galbi Sauce Pork, and the Peppered Shoulder Pork. 

The Premium Set (Soft Opening Promo 399PHP)

The Premium set is an upgraded version since there is an additional meat selection from beef and

shrimp along with a cheese dip. The additional varieties are: Sliced Beef, Beef Tare Yakiniku, Spicy Beef

and Fresh Shrimp. 

Emperor Set (Soft Opening Promo 499PHP)

Dine like an Emperor with this set with your friends and family as this set not just contains poultry, beef,

pork, shrimp but also fish in its dish lineup that will surely fill your stomachs like a true king and queen. 

Along with the meat selection provided above here are the added meat and dishes for the Emperor set: 

• Beef Steak 
• Jjampong Nabe
• Salmon Sashimi 
• Ebi Tempura 

We were served the Emperor set which definitely fits the name because it has EVERYTHING! The meat

selection are just amazing and also they taste great. I would highly suggest that the moment they serve

this is you cook the meat especially the poultry because the taste differs if you let the meat sit in the open

than cook it immediately. 

Out of everything we had I would say that the salmon sashimi is the real hook because you get fresh

sashimi served to you which is a bit on the pricey side and if you are a lover of fresh sashimi they do

serve it fresh and did I say its unlimited? YEP! 

I do have friends that love sashimi and this would bring them here soon to try it out. 

For the carnivore friends I have out there don't worry I got you covered because the meat selections they

have are top grade and definitely worth every peso. I would suggest getting the beef steak and cook it in

the grill because GHORL ITS SUPER GOOD! Its juicy, flavorful with the herds added to it that enhances

the sweetness fresh meat has when you cook it. 

For Korean food lovers, The Jjampong would definitely be your best bet because the soup is full on flavor

not just because of the spiciness but also the seafood that is added to it. 

The Buffet is included on all sets so if you have a craving for some California Maki or would like to have

your favorite Korean side dishes they are readily available and also at your control to get how many you

would like. 

Yakikai is currently open from 4PM to 2AM and they are located at 122 Sct. Dr. Lazcano St. Sacred Heart,

Brgy. South Triangle, Quezon City. 

Hope you check out this restaurant soon with your friends and family! 

Much love!

Taste of Capitol in Tomas Morato

Tomas Morato is one of the 'foodie' hubs here in Quezon City because there are a variety of restaurants that can cater to any cravings you have - From sweet boba (bubble milk tea) or to a fine dining experience its basically there. 

One of the newest addition to that is Taste of Capitol. Originally based in Kapitolyo, Pasig, Taste of Capitol moved in QC since it has a larger audience here. 

If you check out their menu, its mostly American food with a Filipino twist. The prices are also very reasonable and the portions are bigger than usual so make sure to bring your friends here to enjoy their savory dishes. 

The interior reminds me of cafes and restaurants I've seen on some American television shows. Its very artsy as well since all of their tables and walls are painted with colorful street art. Its very cozy but very hipster-like. 

This is their meatball. Compared to those that I've tasted this is a bit on the sweet and savory side due to the gravy or sauce. The sauce is not too liquidy nor too thick since if its either the sauce will overpower the meat ball. The meat itself is not too dry on the inside. 

Typically a Tex-Mex staple, Nachos are actually something most Americans enjoy since its very easy to make and the recipe is easy to tweak out for your personal preference. I love how the meat was just right and the tomatoes were just as fresh as if they were just picked up from the garden and chopped up. I was not really a fan of the cheese which was weird because that is one of the things that I look forward the most in nachos. 

Tortillas! 

This is actually one of my favorite food to make since the recipe is so easy to do and you can improvise. I also love to cook this for my brother since he likes to multi task so he can eat and do his job at the same time. As for this one, I like the tortilla bread since its not too stiff nor stale. The meat and vegetables were a bit chunkier in my taste but it has a nice texture. 

They also have a smaller version if you want something for sharing. And this is literally one bite for me. Its like eating a ssambap without the lettuce and replacing it with the tiny tortilla. 

They also serve one of the yummiest mojitos in all of QC that is. And it comes in 2 sizes which was a big shock to me because when they served this to me I thought it would just be a tall glass, but it was actually for sharing - My bad! But this is really the best I tell you. 

They also serve flavored beers so if you have a liking in that kind make sure to try the ones they have at Taste of Capitol. 

I think Taste of Capitol is a nice place to hang out with your friends, especially if you are a foodie because most the food that they offer are really good and fit for your budget. Check them out on Tomas Morato and taste a different side of American dishes with a Filipino twist. 

Much Love!
