Before watching the Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn part 1, I was treated to a very nice meal in Tokyo Café. It was our first time to dine in this restaurant, and all I could say is two thumbs up.

What is Tokyo Café? This is based from their website:

So on to our experience:

I was seriously not in a good mood due to a lot of unfortunate events, mainly emotional issues, and this has lead me to go on food tripping. At first, I wanted to go to Tong Yang for an eat-all-you-can treat in Jupiter Street, but they were closed that time, which was around 2:00pm. So we decided to go to SM Mall of Asia (MoA) and there we looked for a place to splurge. After few rounds inside the mall, we gave ourselves 3 options: Gerry’s Grill, Tia Maria’s, and Don Henrico’s. To settle this, we did draw lots, and finally went to Don Henrico’s.

Ambiance was nice and it felt cozy maybe because we occupied the cushioned seats which are by the way, great for families and friends. We were greeted courteously and the servers were friendly and accommodating. It took us almost 5 minutes (or more) to decide on what to order, and finally we ordered 3 dishes in their menu:

Under Antipasti:
Petite Mozzarella Sticks (Php175.00)
Deep-fried mozzarella cheese coated with crumbs, served with their Marinara sauce

Under Salads:
Caesar’s Salad
Serving Choices: Php160.00 share; Php280.00 family
(We got the “share” serving choice)
Crisp lettuce, Caesar dressing, roasted garlic chips, tomato, olives, freshly grated Parmesan cheese, crisp bacon crumbles and croutons

Under Pizza’s:
Don Henrico’s Supreme Pizza
Size choices: 10″ Php280.00, 14″ Php540.00, 18″ Php790.00
(We got the 10″ one)
Their very own creation: Pepperoni, beef, ham, mushroom, pineapple tidbits, onion, bell pepper and black olives

For our drinks we got 2 Coke Light (Php40.00 each) and 2 Grape Juice (Php60.00 each).

All in all, the bill totaled at Php815.00.

Food experience: It was my first time eating their pizza and being a pizza lover, I loved the marinara sauce used. It’s sweet with a bit of tang. I’d go for their pizza anytime compared to other restaurants (but then again, I haven’t really tried the other pizza flavors, so let’s wait and see.) For now, this pizza was the best pizza for me. Not too cheesy, sauce was great, toppings were all well cooked and seasoned.

I was not able to finish my share as I was too full but it was indeed a great experience especially when you’re with someone special.

A great afternoon snack for the kids and the kids-at-heart!

Ingredients:
• Lumpia wrapper
• Cheese cut in strips (you can go for any cheese you like)
• Cheese spread (you can opt to not put this if you don’t have one)
• Oil for frying

Procedures:
1. Put cheese strips in lumpia wrapper and put a little of cheese spread as well.
2. Seal the lumpia wrapper using water.
3. Fry until golden brown.
4. Serve with thousand island (or just mix ketchup and mayo).

This is one very, very easy afternoon treat. But you can eat this anytime you want! I was eating this as a midnight snack in front of the laptop. ;)

Enjoy!
