Herbed Chicken Salad - P275
Homemade Iced Tea - P95/glass

Ahhh... The homemade Iced Tea was definitely refreshing. It's not your typical powdered iced tea that tastes like sugar. For the entire evening, I was able to slug down 3 glasses of this great stuff. The dressing on the Herbed Chicken Salad is simply superb. I just wished there were more greens in the salad.

Pancake ala Mode - P180

I thought the Pancake was overkill for dessert. I guess I was wrong because I found myself scarfing down one spoonful after another. It found it very light and the sweetness is just right. It wasn't just any ordinary pancake.

Yoshinoya Menu (click picture to enlarge)

Last Friday, Mel and I got to try Shrimp Katsu Bento made just for the Lenten Season. It's served with 2 shrimp patties with Japanese mayonnaise dip, rice, bean sprouts and fruit jelly dessert. The shrimp patties looked like chicken cordon bleu you usually find in the frozen section of the supermarket. It tastes great as it is but better with the Japanese mayo. Usually, I get "umay" if I eat too much Katsudon. But for this one, I didn't get that feeling. I also found the bean sprouts very crunchy and tasty. That's the way I like my vegetables to be. The manager said that to get the crunchiness and flavor, they make sure to blanch and season it properly. If you get to try this dish, try to mix everything in each bite you take. You will find that all the flavors are harmonious. The red fruit jelly is a perfect meal-ender. Make sure scoop your way to the bottom of the cup to get the sago bits.

Shrimp Katsu Bento - P130
