Turning Japanese - Red Kimono (plus the Winner)

Ever since I'm not really a fan of Japanese food. I've tried a few: Omakase, Saisaki, Teriyaki Boy, Oki Oki, etc, but I always ended up feeling so full rather than satisfied. I liked UMU, but compared to Benjarong- Thai food is a runaway winner against Japanese cuisine- for me at least.

Until last time, someone invited me for his birthday (and sakto a week before mine) to a Japanese resto. Though I dont like it, keri na. Who would resist a free treat? o_0

Located in The Strip, Fort Bonifacio. The very first branch of Red Kimono.

We saw there's a buffet for only P535, with some conditions. However, according to some reviews I've read, it's much better to compare the food you'll order against the buffet price. True enough, it's cheaper. Ayoko din ma-pressure to eat everything that's served. You'll pay double for the leftovers.

Here are the food we ordered:

Crunchy Tuna
signature Maki rolled in Tempura Flakes then stuffed and topped with Tuna

Too much of the conventional Surprisngly, we liked it! It's very good!

Chicken Teriyaki

grilled Chicken with their signature sauce and served with potato hay

I like their version, not overly done. Sauce is not too flavorful. Just right!

Prawn Tempura
what's a Japanese dining without these? *winks*

Sukiyaki

...Dyanie singing "it's all because of you.. im feeling sad and blue." ♥
We liked it! Sarap. The staff served this noodle soup in 2 bowls.

Banana Katsu

breaded and fried Banana served with Vanilla icecream and Chocolate sauce
Sweet endings indeed! This dessert is not included if you avail buffet.

After this Red Kimono experience, suddenly I love Japanese food!

* .. most favorite among your entries and why? - it'll be surviving sagada alone series, 'cause it really showed how gutsy and adventurous you are - even if you're a girl.
.. my reaction if i suddenly turn into a fish. - simple lang, sasabihin ko sa sarili ko: "yuuuk, ang lansa ko!!!" haha!

Reason:
I like one-liner reactions… saka that would be our answer if ever, di ba? (same wavelength..?)

Too bad Rob is still in Saudi Arabia so can't make it. But still, congratulations to you. So here's the runner up:

My favorite entry - your trip to Sagada alone. Girl power ka don, Chyng!!!
If I suddenly turned into fish, di na ako makakareact, kasi malulunod ako, di ako marunong lumangoy e. Pero kung automatic ang pagkamaster ko ng paglangoy sa pagiging isda ko, magfoform na lang ako ng heart bubbles sa ocean as my reaction. Hahahaha..

Reason:
I like the heart bubbles… so simple yet creative! Not much drama. We hate drama!

So there, congratulations to Palito. Email mo ko, email kita. Set natin soon.

PS~ I also like Abeng's, Apol's, and Ai's answers. Simple pero nangiti ako.
Dear Allen, honestly gusto ko manalo ka. When Remay and I were about your age (at wala pa kaming income) there are people who became our ate and kuya at sila lagi nagttreat samin. So I'd like to pay it forward to you. You're a smart kid. Dalawin moko sa MoA, may free treat ka sakin.
