Unwind at Nihonbashitei

theelleswhere 5:17:00 AM

After one stressful week, we decided to unwind and relax. Good thing we ended up at Nihonbashitei along Pasay Road.

Their ice cold beer, gyoza and ankake ramen washed away the tension from the week. :)

Recently discovered Toast Box at Greenbelt 5. Been going there for the past month. Located at the 3rd floor of Greenbelt 3, Toast Box offers Asian food, mostly kaya toast and coffee or milo.

The few times we were there though, we opted more for their meals rather than toast and coffee. So far, we have tried their Hainanese Chicken meal with noodles.

Toast Box version of Hainanese

I am fond of Hainanese Chicken though not entirely an expert. And this is NOT IT. I guess because there was not enough ginger sauce? heheheh Sorry but I was not very fond of their version. Their noodles also do not seem to go well with chicken. I still prefer Hainanese Chicken with Hainan rice. I even prefer the one from Hainanese Delights though it is just a fast food joint.

Chicken Curry

Now their chicken curry is something else. Let us just say I could not help but finish everything including the sauce. I gulped it all even without rice! And this is from someone who loves curry, and "drinks" curry sauces. LOL!

For both meals, we had the option to have cold barley with an additional Php 30. The drink costs P70 if bought separately.

Barley

I would still need to go back and try their Kaya toasts and Milo dinosaur, including their kopi. After all, I think those are their specialties. :D

Also love their laksa which I tried the first time we went there

Laksa

Forgot what this one was called :P

Of Nachos and Korean Beef

theelleswhere 6:43:00 PM

I tried ordering the beef and cheese nacho here at Mexicanto, one of the food stalls here at Distrito.

Chips was okay but the cheese dip was a bit runny.

Jie ordered the Korean beef stew which was very good. Second time ordering it actually. This was one of the things which came to mind when we decided to come here.

Distrito is currently open from 9pm to 3am, wednesdays to fridays. There are also bands who play sometimes.
