Kimono Ken

I was having some really mean sushi carvings a few weeks back.  Maybe my stomach also knew it was nearing Holy Week and decided that a few meatless days were in order.  Whatever the reason, I just knew I had to have some fast!

Good thing there was a Kimono Ken branch near our place.

A serving of their Sushi Moriawase (Php380) sure did hit the spot!

But since the Little One recently discovered a love for sushi rice and tamago (sweet Japanese egg), I now find myself having to begrudgingly share my plate with her (don't worry, as she is only allowed the cooked makis and sushi.  Never the raw ones.  Not yet anyway); hence the need for us to order another dish.

We went with their sweet and savoury Sukiyaki (Php330) which was good enough for 2 adults (the Husband and I) plus the Little One to share.

Another noodle dish, this time for only the Husband to devour, an order of Yaki-Udon (Php220) to complete our lunch.

Sauteed thick noodles with pork and vegetables.  The Husband savoured every bite.

Everything was really good until, that is, we took a sip of our Kimono Ken's Special drink (Php75).  A blend of various fresh fruit juices, it was sweet with a slightly unusual, slimy texture (I think it was the guava portion that did it.)

I believe it's more for an acquired taste as we saw almost all the tables with at least a glass of this.  Guess we need to get used to it more.

Regardless, we still had a great meal.  Kudos, too, to the attentive staff.
