Sumptuous Sundays: Yakitori Nanbantei of Tokyo

Sometime around last week, I was strolling along The Fort High Street then suddenly, a mad craving for Japanese food had struck me. Like a caveman fresh from hibernation, I foraged the concrete jungle to look for any Japanese restaurant and here's what I found: Yakitori Nanbantei of Tokyo.

PRICE RANGE: P200.00-P800.00

It's a pretty neat Jap resto with a Zen- inspired modern interior. I read Yakitori at their lighted signboard, and Yakitori is a Japanese term that loosely translates to grilled skewered meat in English. Errr--I was looking for the usual Japanese meals that time but heck, I tried it anyway because I figured it's impossible that they don't have the usual Japanese favorites.

On-the-house veggie sticks with a peanut- infused salty Japanese sauce. My favorite snack!

Tuna Sashimi- Here's a fact: I used to not eat sashimi when I was younger thinking that I'll get Salmonella from them 'coz it's raw food. Well, good thing I've outgrown that belief or otherwise, I would die not knowing how tasty this dish is! It has even become a staple food in my Low Carb days.

Yakitori Pork Tenderloin and Beef- The pork is quite yummy: it has a soft texture and smoky flavor. However, the beef is quite gummy and a little bland.

Unagi- My brother's order. I don't really know what it tastes like because I don't like Unagi teehee!

Folks, if you're looking to satisfy your serious Japanese cravings, this is not the place to be as they mainly serve Yakitori dishes. Well, they have a couple of Japanese meals but they're too insignificant for me to remember. But if you want to drink with your buddies and enjoy some nice, healthy pulutan, then I would recommend this place. Oh well, so much for my Japanese food craving!
