KITARO FOR THE HUBBY’S BIRTHDAY

Aside from Italian pasta and pizza, another favourite cuisine of our family is Japanese. In fact, our fondness for Japanese food is displayed even by our children who also love eating sashimi and sushi. And so for our lunch today, we decided to eat at a small Japanese resto near the office – Kitaro and we were quite surprised since their meals are priced reasonably and yet still offer enough authenticity to make it seem that we were truly dining Japanese fare. When we entered the resto, the staff were quite courteous and attended to us immediately (I guess it helped that we were the only ones there, hehehe) We ordered our favourites – California Maki, Tofu and Mixed Tempura...all were made fresh and tasted good but the one we were quite surprised about is the Tofu steak which was crisp and breaded outside but quite gooey and still fresh inside. Someday I hope to bring my kids to this restaurant since they too are such suckers for Japanese food. But due to its exorbitant prices, we are usually only able to partake Japanese food whenever we go to my dad’s place in Makati. So now with this new discovery of a truly affordable Japanese resto, Kitaro, we’d surely be able to eat Japanese a bit more often.
