YAKUMI at Solaire Offers Weekday Teishoku Sets and Bento Box Meals

Yakumi

Good news for diners like me who want a little bit of everything. YAKUMI at Solaire Resort and Casino now offers Teishoku sets and bento box meals from Monday to Saturday during their lunch service.

Yakumi

TEISHOKU set meals are basically composed of a main dish, usually a protein like meat or fish, a bowl of soup, rice and an assortment of side dishes. In Yakumi, you can choose from the following set meals: Chicken Nanban Set (Php900), Oyakodon Set (Php 680), Katsu Curry Rice Set (Php780), Katsudon Set (780), Pork Cutlet Set (780), Chirashi Sushi Set (Php980), Japanese Beef Curry Set (Php880), Tendon Set (Php980) and Tempura Set (Php1,450).

Each set comes with a Wafu salad, a bowl of rice, miso soup, iced tea and the dessert selection of the day. Frankly, I wish I could have a different Teishoku set for lunch every day of the week. We tried the Chirashi Sushi Set and the Tempura Set and I must say that each element was superb! The sashimi on the chirashi bowl was particularly fresh. There was no fishy smell and you can almost see the freshness even before you taste each slice of raw seafood.

BENTO BOX meals are not entirely different from Teishoku sets. Each bento box has a main protein, an assortment of side dishes like sashimi, karaage, tempura etc. The bento is also served with a bowl of rice, soup, iced tea and the dessert selection of the day.

Here’s the Yakumi bento box selection:

UME (Php1, 280): Grilled mackerel, tempura, sweet omelette, deep-fried chicken, sashimi, steamed Japanese rice, miso soup, iced tea, dessert of the day

I personally ordered the TA-KE bento box. The grilled ribeye really called out to me on the menu. As soon as it arrived at our table, I could not wait to dig my teeth into each succulent bite! We took photos as quickly as possible and sat down to enjoy our meal.

The steak exceeded my expectations. Usually, when you have steak as part of a set meal, you really can’t expect  the best. This ribeye had a good sear and you can really tell that the meat was top notch because it retained its tenderness. I regretted not eating it right away because the fat in the ribeye tastes really good when you eat it while it’s still very hot. Nevertheless, I enjoyed this immensely. It was flavored lightly with a thin sauce that enhanced the beefy flavor. With good meat, you don’t need to add much!

My set also had some tempura, sashimi and salmon teriyaki. I really liked the fact that there was a little bit of everything. It may look like they are small servings but it was actually quite a lot! You can really get to enjoy each element. The sashimi slices were thick and firm. The freshness really shines through! The subtle sweetness of the fish only needs the smallest amount of soy sauce and wasabi.

Speaking of wasabi, we really got a kick out of watching fresh wasabi being grated right at our table. At the start of the meal, a chef came around with a fresh wasabi root and a paddle grater made out of shark skin. Fresh wasabi is milder than the commercial paste and it doesn’t have that chemical aftertaste that you sometimes get.

Overall, it was an exemplary experience. Kudos to Yakumi at Solaire for providing an excellent option for those of us who are always looking for a place to have an authentic, high quality gastronomic adventure. If you ever find yourself in the area, keep this place in mind. Tell me about your experience!

Myeongdong Street Food Review: (Video) Seoul, South Korea

Fishcake Myeongdong is one of the most popular tourist districts in the center of Seoul, Korea. Located just on the foot of Mount Namsan and the famous N Seoul Tower, you can’t miss this area if you’re on a tour of the city. One of the big reasons for a visit? Lots of great shopping opportunities and a bustling street food market! In the video below, my friends and I try to sample as much of the food as we can. We  give you honest reviews of each item so that you’ll know what you can’t miss and what you can skip when you visit Myeongdong Street Food Market. Off the top of my head, I highly recommend: 1. Egg Bread (gyeran-ppang/gyeran-bbang). This is sweet and savory at  the same time. Think of it as a your morning pancake and eggs all in one. I even make it with bacon at home. Korean Egg Bread (Gyeran-ppang/bbang) 2. Steak: I can’t be sure if this is the highly regarded Korean beef (Hanwoo) or not. However, I can guarantee that the beef they sell on the street here is much be...

Kureji is redefining the Japanese dining experience, one sizzling bowl at a time and I got a chance to see what they have to offer!

This unique dish combines traditional ramen flavors with a theatrical presentation, served on a sizzling hot bowl to enhance the aroma and flavor profile.  Are you curious yet? My friends and I trooped over to Kureji at Ali Mall, Araneta City and sat down for a fun catch-up session over a carefully curated lunch spread. Of course, we had to try their signature Sizzling Tomato Seafood Ramen.  Sizzling Tomato and Seafood Ramen I was a bit skeptical about the tomato-based broth at first, fearing that it might taste more like pasta. However, the rich seafood flavor definitely came through, with just a hint of the tomato tang. The sizzling presentation was definitely interesting, and the interactive experience of timing the exact moment to pour the...
