Light Japanese Lunch at Yurakuen!

Yurakuen @ Diamond Hotel, Manila

Tita Nelia & I have been pigging out since breakfast so we weren’t really THAT hungry come lunch time.  So we just ordered for some relatively light food (whatever passes for light!). 

I can say two things about the food here at Yurakuen: Very good and a bit expensive.  

Scorpio Maki

Eel Eggroll with Spicy Mayonnaise

Sake Teriyaki

Grilled Salmon with Teriyaki Sauce

Agedashi Dofu

The Most Calorific Ensaymada Ever!

Cake Club @ Diamond Hotel, Manila

Many have written about this Ube Ensaymada. A lot of bloggers think that it’s the best, not to mention, the most calorific Ensaymada known… the melting butter on top of the grated cheese, just imagine.  You can actually hear yourself getting fat. By the time you stand up from your seat, you have already gained five pounds. Try it.

My Tita Nelia and I always share one Ube Ensaymada every time we indulge.  By doing so, the guilt is less. Kahit sa guilt, share kami. 

And I tried the Charcoal Roasted Coffee. As predicted, it tasted like your ordinary Non-Charcoal Roasted Coffee. I didn’t know what to expect. What I can say is that it tasted FLAT. However, coffee is coffee. I took it black. Perfect with our Ube Ensaymada.
