Teriyaki Boy: Rediscovering Japanese Cuisine

Teriyaki Boy, Abreeza has been serving Dabawenyos for two years already. Its unwavering service of delicious and top-quality Japanese food caught the attention of its customers and won their hearts as well. Teriyaki Boy Chicken, Katsudon and Philly Cheesesteak Roll are just a few of the fast favorites.

If you are craving for that affordable Japanese experience here in Metro Davao, I personally recommend that you try the following:

Tebasaki

It's the newest addition in Tboy's menu and its a must-try. Taste the Japanese-style double fried chicken wings.

Kani Salad

This was the salad sampler I picked. Crab meat and greens, it was a good appetizer.

Crunchy Salmon Salad

I like this better than the previous one because of the nori flakes. I love salty food and the flakes really complemented the Norweigan salmon and the mayo dressing.

Tempura Tuna Sashimi Tartare

This topped the appetizer served for me, it's sashimi, it's spicy and so it's so me :) A spicy mix of tuna sashimi, Japanese mayo and tempura flakes.

Tofu Steak

Breaded silken tofu, topped with a sweet and savoury sauce, finished with stir-fried ground pork with onions, chives, shiitake and steak sauce. It's the reinvention of the usual fried tofu and I think even those who are not fond of eating tofu may think twice.

So much for the appetizer, it was really a good start and the better thing is  there's a lot more coming. Take for example second wave of the SUSHI FEAST that happened last January 28-February 28; a seasonal offer.

(Sushi All You Can for Just P269.00)

You might have missed this very tempting offer but worry not. There might always be a third, fourth or fifth wave. For sushi lovers, you may still order a regular serving sushi meal at Tboy.

Tori Brown Rice Nabe

A brown rice dish cooked in soy-based sauce with boneless chicken, shiitake mushrooms, young corn, leeks and teriyaki sauce. 

You need not worry about rice for Tboy gives you options that are better than any ricebox I've ever tasted. This one can stand alone, I mean need I order any viand? You may choose between plain rice or Yakimeshi, Japanese fried rice.

Seafood Teppanyaki

Fresh prawns, yellowfin, cream dory and squid,stir-fried with bell peppers, onions, shiitake, and teppanyaki sauce. This dish alone is a feast in itself already especially for seafood lovers!

Teriyaki Boy Chicken

Succulent grilled boneless chicken, marinated and cooked with Teriyaki Boy sauce. The crowd's favorite and one of TBoy's recommended dishes.

Mango Shake

Fresh mango shake. This will eternally be one of my comfort drinks. 

So much for the main course, who wants some dessert? A Japanese frozen yogurt to finish your TBoy experience - - - YOGATO :)

I purposely took pictures of the other's yogato because it looks so adorable. Since I get to have two (2) choice of toppings, I picked chocolate babies and almonds. That last Yogato is mine. Yummy! Don't miss your own TBoy experience. Visit them at Abreeza, Tomadochi!

Teriyaki Boy: Eat Must Be Love

Come the season of love then all the promos not just for the sweet tooth but for the sweet couples arise. This Feb 1-28 (2013) customers can get a pair of customized love mugs when you order 2 Donburi (choices provided by Teriyaki Boy) with 2 single-serve iced tea for only P500.00.

And so that's why how we ended up spending one of our post-Valentine's date at Teriyaki Boy. It sure was a sweet and surprising offer. By the way their Donburi choices were: 1) Katsudon, 2) Teriyaki Boy Chicken Ju and 3) Sukiyaki Beef Teppanyaki Don. They were well-made and fair choices because they even included their must-try and all-time favorite Katsudon and Teriyaki Boy Chicken Ju (which I ordered).

The Crunchy Salmon Salad wasn't included in the promo and we just ordered it for  our appetizer.  For a better description, here's what is written in their menu "Grilled Norweigan Salmon, flaked and mixed with creamy mayo dressing, topped on crisp iceberg lettuce with nori flakes and our special dressing."  

It was a very accurate  description and I don't need to say much anymore. It wasn't a test run, I've tasted this before and it really got me interested because of its distinct taste. This salad cost P186.00.

I personally really really like their Teriyaki Boy Chicken Ju and so that's what I got. This signature grilled teriyaki chicken costs P214.00 and it's a good thing were able to cut down the cost because of the promo. What's delighting about this, aside from its Special Ju Box, is the sweet and savory teriyaki sauce that will surely satisfy your cravings.

My partner ordered the Sukiyaki Beef Teppanyaki Don which costs P191.00. The stir fried bacon slices combined with sliced onions and teppanyaki sauce sure smells great. I think that the raw egg makes it a more exciting eating experience :)

Taste - 5/5
Ambiance - 4/5
Service - 4/5

Overall Value - 4/5

OOTD: Cut-out and Jeggings

Have you ever had the feeling of being ignored just because of what you're wearing be it in malls, restaurants or even at hotels? Just a random thought. I've been comparing how the staff from different establishments treat a person based on what he or she wears and believe me it's quite unfair.

If we were only in the  United States perhaps we would  still be getting the proper treatment even with shabby clothes on.

 Now, about my post which is the outfit I wore to the Ipanema Urban Jungle Fashion Show at Abreeza last week. I opted to go for the smart casual look by wearing a button-down polo with cut outs and my oh so comfortable jeggings. 

The top gives you a sexy (because of the cut-outs) yet semi-corporate look depending on how you style it. The color really stood out as a lot of well-dressed people also attended the event. I chose the jeggings because it really do have the look of the jeans and the convenience of wearing leggings plus they look good together, don't they?

 

I had coffee before the show and the treatment is so overwhelming. It makes me want to wear this most of the time especially when I visit malls. However, I'm in my tee, shorts or jeans most of the time. I realize that people need to exert effort sometimes for them to earn that respect or treatment they want. Kabogin niyo ang staff ng mall, ewan ko lang kung 'di kayo bigyan ng special treatment.

Haha! But kidding aside, dress to impress. You don't know who or where you'll walk into. Moreover, dressing well also boosts your confidence so there's no need to wait for an occasion to do so.

What I wore:

Top: Pickled and Peppered
Jeggings: Pickled and Peppered
Wedge: Primadonna
Bag: A gift :"> (Jimmy Choo)

Accessories: Tomliz Butingtings

 

Have a lovely Sunday evening :)


Love lots,

Oishii Sumo Sam

I have always loved Italian/Mexican/American dishes but this night we’ve gone Japanese. To veer away with the usual fast food chains and restaurants, my boyfriend and I decided to dine at Sumo Sam, Abreeza. Checked their menu and thought of splurging (minsan lang naman eh, haha!). There’s really a great difference between a high-end restaurant’s staff compared to somefast food chains’ crew. I must say that in this branch, their staff was well-trained and not ill-mannered. It’s a part of a customer’s total dining experience. I’m giving them a perfect 5 for the service.

Their menu. It's very cute :)

California Roll Php218

Chicken Teriyaki Plate Php288

Tonkatsu (Curry Ramen) Php168

Now, my most favorite part which is the food. I love all of them, all of which we have ordered. I've had Teriyaki Plate which for me is perfect because it’s meat is tender and very flavorful. The chicken almost tastes like pork. Love at first taste it is. That was were my post title came from. Oishii means tasty or flavorful in Japan. The California Roll was scrumptious especially the crab meat toppings. I’m not fond of eating sea foods but I liked this one. Go for their California Roll (a.ka. California Maki) it’s one of their must-tries. Hmm, about the Ramen, I don’t like meat to be cooked that way (with soup). However, my partner really liked it. He appreciates more varieties of food more than I do. That’s it. I’m giving 4/5 rating for the delicious meal. I don’t know how we finished all the gigantic (big serving) dishes. We were really stuffed afterwards.

Happy tummy :)

My Max's Experience

Last October 2, Max's Abreeza conducted their first blogger's event in Abreeza. I was very eager to attend because Max's is an all time favorite. Agree? It's a classic when it comes to chicken, hence the "Sarap to the bones" tagline. So why are we gathered there? Max's just want to spread the good news which is their newest offer 4 Sharing Meal which obviously is good for 4 persons. They also introduced the newest pair of their good old chicken which is beef. For only P899 a group of four can enjoy 1 whole chicken, 4 iced tea, 4 rice and a choice between Adobong Baka sa Gata and Beef Caldereta.

Beef Caldereta

Adobong Baka sa Gata

This is a personal favorite. I love how the beef compliments the strong taste of the gata. Yummy! I'll be back for more. That's for sure.

Another surprise from Max's is that they will now manufacture their own catsup. It was concocted  to compliment the taste of their chicken. Though 'Jufran' has been the partner of their chicken for a long time, I'm sure you'll also appreciate and love their home-blended catsup. It's quite sweet, I'm sure Filipinos would love such taste. I highly encourage you to try out  Max's and veer away, for a while, with  the ordinary fast. You'll really appreciate not just the delightful food but also the exquisite staff :)

We all got this treat as a 'bring home' treat. How delightful! :)

So, do you want to try these new treats? :)

Bring your friends and loved ones to Max's Abreeza for now.

Max's in SM Lanang will soon serve you.
