Omakase (ATC)

Posted on by

After having had tasted authentic Japanese food, one would find it hard to find an authentic Japanese restaurant in the Philippines wherein the food is not “Filipinized” to suit the Filipino palate.

Thankfully though, authentic Japanese food can be found in Omakase ATC, conveniently situated only a few minutes walk away from the (ex) office.

They offer a number of selection on their menu. But a personal favorite is their Tuna Tataki.

Lightly-seared tuna. Spices dust the lightly-seared sides.

Brace yourself though, this one is addictive. One order is just not enough.

Malunggay Whole Wheat Pandesal

Posted on by

Every now and then, I’d like to experiment; try out some new product. When I saw Pan-A-Cup’s Malunggay Whole Wheat Pandesal, I was instantly intrigued with how it would taste. And I’m glad I was curious enough to buy it. It’s got a curious taste to it, probably owing to the malunggay bits. Yet the malunggay taste fused with the whole wheat verging-on-sweet dough creating a delectable tasting pandesal.

It’s perfect as it is even when eaten as is. But it’s good to match with SPAM as well for breakfast. And if in case you need to heat up the pandesal and you don’t have a microwave oven at home, you can heat it up on a pan brushed with olive oil. I did it. It was just uber yummy that I had to buy another pack the following day. haha.

Nutritional Information of powdered dried malunggay (moringa) leaves as seen on Pan-A-Cup’s packaging:

  • 10 times the Vitamin A of carrots
  • 1/2 the Vitamin C of oranges
  • 17 times the Calcium of milk
  • 15 times the Potassium of banana
  • 25 times the Iron of spinach
