Weekend Food Trip at: Shitamachi Japanese Chashu House

Happy Heart's Day!
Today marks the most romantic day of the year, as for me, (cheesy-ness aside), everyday is Valentine's Day because both Mr. AMW and I are sweet individuals!  :P  So we aren't planning anything special but to probably stay home and just enjoy quality time with Kyle Nash!

Now, if you're off to have a date with your loved ones, one of the most uncrowded mall in the Metro is Podium!  And if ever you chanced by that mall, do visit the restaurant Shitamachi: Japanese Chashu House.  It is located at the top most floor of the mall next to the cinemas! 

To tell you how much I loved our experience dining here (note: Experience because of good service, location and presence of high chair!)  I brought my family back when we stayed overnight at Discovery Suites Ortigas over the weekend.

Set C 

Miso Ramen, Karaage, Gohan with Dessert

Php449.00

If you are new at the restaurant.  I highly recommend trying out their set dishes because you can try 2 dishes at once with dessert!  We opted for Miso Ramen because I'm a fan of miso-based soup and it doesn't hurt that my son loves Karaage.  The Miso Ramen is just okay, nothing spectacular, as for the Karaage, I'm glad it tasted really good!

Wagyu Beef Pepper Rice

Php275.00

The one on photo and the one in person looks different, the serving is indeed lesser in person but thankfully, the taste made up for it!  I don't mind having them increase the price and adding a bit more beef?

Cereal Prawn Balls

Php255.00 for 3 pieces

You get a whole bunch of cereal and the prawn balls were hidden in between!  As much as I'm happy with the taste, well, they put in a bit too much wasabi sauce which my husband loves!  I wish they offer a non-spicy version and maybe lessen the cereal?  Because it gets too overwhelming!

Japanese Creme Caramel Panna Cota

Php85.00

This is not a full size because it comes with a meal on Set C!  This is indeed a wonderful "finishing touch" to your filling meal!

Now if you plan to check out what the restaurant offer, Mr. AMW took photos of their menu for you!  Thank him guys :P

 

As I said on my previous statement, I enjoyed the experience dining there, food is not extra special as you get most of the dishes in other Japanese restaurants BUT, the servers are extremely friendly and helpful which made dining a wonderful experience!  Will I go back?  Yes!  To try out other dishes and maybe, just maybe, I may find more reasons to get back there.
