tokyo cafe

We were captivated by their gigantic menu posted outside their restaurant and so we decided to give it a try.  One of a kind fusion restaurant that has been growing since their opening in SM The Block branch.

Tokyo Cafe when heard was mistakenly thought simply a coffee shop, but it’s not!  It is a restaurant where japanese food was served, not only that they do also have salad, pasta, sandwich, burgers simply an ala-carte meals either with meat, or seafood, their most sought dessert was said to be heavenly.

They have a cool giant posters of their products offered where one who would glanced at it will surely salivated and will never leave the restaurant without tasting that glaring picture that they have posted on their walls.

mango chicken salad

For appetizer, we had Mango Chicken Salad chicken salad, ripe mango, grapes & romaine lettuce.  At the price at P170.00, it was sumptuous!  Who would have thought that one can taste a salad as fresh as this?  They have used a fresh lettuce, grapes used was seedless, mangoes was a little bit sour than pure sweet taste, and their chicken salad has just the right amount of  onions, chicken and mayonnaise.   I was hungry for more and thought of having my second serving of salad after finishing this.

french fries

We were looking for something that will make my son busy and so we have requested French fries.  This was a complimentary for my son.  It was deep-fried, without any salt, tasted purely potatoes.

Chicken ala pobre

For our main dish, we had Chicken ala pobre boneless chicken leg quarter with garlic, lemon and pepper price at the price of P175.00.  We were stunned when this was served.  The serving was too small for it’s price, chicken was a little bit hard than usual and was already dry, it was overcooked.

creamy ebiko pasta

For the most awaited dish, the Creamy Ebiko Pasta shrimp, karashi, ebiko, and cream pasta price price at P255.00.  The photos in the menu was much more appetizing, for we didn’t tasted the creaminess as detailed, tasted pasta with a simple shrimp broth.

mango banana tropical

For dessert, we had Mango Banana Tropical mango, banana slices, banana sauce, whipped cream and strawberry ice cream drizzled with choco syrup price at P135.00.  This was heavenly!  Crepe was freshly cooked, chocolate syrup was not that sweet, and ice cream used was delectable!  I expected it to be overly sweet but it was not.  Ripe mangoes used was cut in cubes and was placed on top of the crepe, before the ice cream and chocolate syrup.

cafe smoogee

Cafe Smoogee straight up espresso based smoogee with whipped cream price at P126.00.   A great description to describe this?  Yummy!  It was a strong coffee based that has a hint of bitterness in every sip.

iced lemon tea

Iced Lemon Tea price at P68.00  Their iced tea was a brewed black tea and not powdered, which makes it more natural.  Warning for those who couldn’t take a bitter-taste black tea, this one is.
