Jollibee owner Tony Tan Caktiong and I walked few more blocks to look for his favorite tempura. The restaurant is on the basement of the Sony building. He had a back-up plan, if we don’t find it, there’s one on the basement of our hotel!
We found it, Tony was smiling.
The place is small, with one big bar like table in the center, with the Japanese tempura guy on the other side of the table, where his fryer and fresh ingredients are.
Ordering time, Dios mio (again), ang mahal naman pala. The menu is half a page with 3 choices of set menus depending on how takaw you are.
I went for the least expensive since I was actually full and originally intended not to eat dinner anymore. It’s about 8,400 Yen or about 5,162 pesos.
Tony went for the gold 15,750 yen since he’s hungry and craving for this tempura.
Ow this better be good because it’s super mahal.
First was this, two crispy shrimp heads. Sa atin, hindi ko na ‘to kinakain, tinatapon ko na.
Pero since ang mahal dito, kinain ko na rin. masarap naman, crispy.
one mushroom
gingko biloba seeds
sidings
tiny something, masarap sya ha
kakiage with rice
Wait, where’s the tempura, naku, sorry, they were too tiny, kinain ko agad, I forgot to take a photo.
The food, in fairness, is really good, cooked fresh right in front of you.
The following day, syempre tanungan, san’ kayo kumain, ano kinain nyo?
I told Alfred Yao, owner of Zest air, Zesto, etc., that Tony and I ate in Ten-ichi. When he heard how much, Fred said “naku, ang mahal naman, galing din sa atin yun hipon”.
Mam kayo po kumuha ng picture? ang ganda pati kwento niyo.
OO, ako ang kumuha ng mga pictures. Salamat.
