Have Cheap-ass Jap Food, Will Travel

Yum yum Japanese food from Omakase at Eastwood

The resto that serves this glorious feast pictured above is also featured lengthily in my favorite food blog.

Omakase isn’t your bland Tokyo Tokyo fare, and sushi fans will delight in the democracy of its menu. I will not attempt to further discuss the awesomeness of it, as I might ruin the experience (yours in the future and mine from the past) through this writing. Read the article from the link I posted above, instead.

However, I’m really about championing this other Japanese chow. It is…

Haii-iiya! Karate Kid is the dark horse of Japanese fast food fare

O.K. It doesn’t look like much for a champion resto, though it is a tough challenger of the culture-desecrating Jap fastfood, T.T. It also serves a mid-level choice for those who find Teriyaki Boy a tad pricey.

Maki and Sushi with my wrung calamansi

This combo of four Cali maki and four tuna sashimi, at P65, is a winner. Plus, Karate Kid’s miso soup, with its hefty nori strips and tofu slices at P15, is almost a giveaway. Think about it, if you keep two jeepney ride fares in your pocket (P17) and walk instead, you’ll have a warmed tummy with the soup. Then your extra two pesos can buy two Maxx candies or a cig.

(Who am I to tell you what to do with your money anyway.)

See? I'm enjoying my raw tuna here

I also enjoy their Tuna Teppanyaki. It’s in the grilled cooking of the fish, and the sweet Kikkoman sauce.

Karate Kid can be found at SM Manila, and probably some other middle-class establishments.

By the way, I have checked my blog stats and found that my Joker/Robert Smith post got a lot of hits–more than a hundred two thousand!!!! Haha, all-time high. I guess riding along any other blockbuster mania ponies up things around here.

That means, my not-so-sikat Karate Kid post will make things go back to normal. As in low-hits normal.
