Tonkotsu Ramen PHP195

Not as good as we expected. The broth doesn't taste like the usual tonkotsu ramen. The pork was good though.

Credits to Glai for the pic 😊

Maki Overload PHP1400

Love! Love! Love! their maki and sashimi! 😍 (the ramen not so much) I like the small japanese resto feel too. The price is very affordable and worth it. 😊

Señora Carmen's Resto Garden

My sister and I tagged along our aunt's night out with friends, then my little sister wanted to come too.. and my grandmother. So a night out with friends turned into a family dinner XD.

Señora Carmen's is located near Centro Escolar University at Malolos City. The ambiance was nice and open and there was a band playing songs which you can request or you can even jam with them.. I think.. XD

I really like the ambiance but they should probably do something about the "tagasaw/s".

The food was good and affordable. Ranging from PHP100-200 per dish for sharing or solo plates for less than PHP100. If you want to try something different, something authentic and something good, this is the place to go. I like the variety of their menu. Sorry I didn't take a picture of their menu. Anyway here's what we ordered.

Tuna Sashimi PHP120

It was frozen when they served it but after a couple of minutes it started to thaw.

Adobong Kambing

Kalderetang Kambing

Kare-Kare

Spareribs Salad

This is new to me. Tastes like well yeah salad but warm salad.

Hakaw

Shark's fin

Cheese Sticks

Lots of cheese in there

Rice

We also ordered a pitcher of ice tea and a bucket of san mig apple. Our bill was only around PHP1800 pretty cheap huh? I just wish they serve cocktails too. (>_<)

The staff were friendly and nice and very accommodating. What else can I say? I love this place! (though I'm probably biased because they have tuna sashimi XD) Will I go back? Definitely YES! (^_^)

Japanese food on a budget?

I love ramen! And sushi! And maki! And takoyaki! But they're quite expensive don't you think? A bowl of ramen usually cost PHP200+ to PHP500+ and PHP100+ to PHP300+ for 3-4pcs of maki. :(

So what can a bulakenyang gipit do if she craves for Japanese but don't have enough money? Simple, I look for cheaper alternatives. :)

For ramen cravings, I usually go to Tokyo Tokyo. Try their spicy chicken ramen.

The snack size only costs PHP99 and the regular size costs PHP150, add PHP50 for 3pcs gyoza and red tea.

I usually order the snack size which is just enough for me with the gyoza and red tea add ons.

I've tried the braised beef once (cause they accidentally gave me braised beef instead of spicy chicken (in my defense, they look the same and the soup taste the same)) but I don't like my ramen sweet so I like the hint of spice the spicy chicken gives :)

For maki, sushi and takoyaki cravings, I go to karate kid. I usually order sashi maki and takoyaki.

Sashi maki costs PHP79 ( 3pcs maki and 3 pcs sashimi)

They also sell them separately:
California maki 4pcs PHP45, 8pcs PHP85
Tuna sashima 6pcs PHP89

The tuna sashimi has thick slices which is quite weird but it's good enough.

Takoyaki 4pcs regular around PHP40, with fish flakes around PHP50

Try the one with fish flakes and watch them move :)

ITADAKIMASU!!!
