Teppanyaki Dishes at Osaka Ohsho Philippines

Osaka Ohsho Philippines, one of the restaurants in Manila that serves the best tasting gyoza recently launched new items on their menu; the Teppanyaki Festival selections. Although known for their World's No. 1 Gyoza, Osaka Ohsho prided itself with serving other delectable dishes that anyone can enjoy. New addition to the variety is the teppanyaki line-up some of Manila Food Bloggers are talking about lately.

It was only late last year that Osaka Ohsho introduced their Fuwatoro Tenshin Han Sets, same goes for their new gyoza variants namely Bacon & Cheese Gyoza and the dessert variant Peanut Butter & Banana Gyoza. This year however, Osaka Ohsho step up their game by adding teppanyaki dishes, albeit offered in limited time.

BE WELL All Natural and Organic Health Food Store [Antipolo Food Trip Series]

I chanced upon BE WELL Organics, a food store that sells healthy all natural and organic products when I was out one time searching for a place where I could buy Chia Seeds in Antipolo City. I believe there are number of farms in Antipolo where people can source fresh organic produce. I myself have made use of the space at home that I have to grow my own food because with the kind of climate and rich soil we have here, it seems like a smart thing to do.

When it comes to other healthy food products and supplements however, the kinds we can usually find at Healthy Options and Sugar Leaf, sources here I deem are limited. 

I guess it that is because it was only recently that some big supermarkets and malls started to penetrate the city. Still, I have not found any store which resembles to the two aforementioned health food stores.

Ippudo Ramen Manila, Philippines

During my first visit at Ippudo located at SM Megamall’s Mega Fashion Hall to try what many said could be the Best Ramen in Manila by far, I knew that it will take me couple of more visits before I could write about it. Not because my first visit earned me an unpleasant experience, it was the opposite as a matter of fact. Save for the unavailability of the much talked about Ippudo Pork Buns, just like the other Manila Food Bloggers who wrote a review of Ippudo, my experience was nothing short of impressive.

You see, Ippudo is one of those restaurants which opening in Manila attracted numbers of curious food enthusiasts resulting to long lines of diners for several weeks.  In situation like that, it can be a bit of a challenge to strike gold when it comes to consistency. That thing, I wanted to check on hence, the wait before a blog post.

Just like what I did during the time when people were mad rushing to dine at IHOP when it also opened a franchise here in Manila, I braved the long line at Ippudo. I do not intend to write about the grueling  hours of waiting, I believe the internet provided us with several accounts of people who also did that. So I am going to spare you with the details.
