Welcome To Tokyo Tokyo! The Philippines Famous Japanese Fast-Food. Get Your Chopsticks Ready!





Why there’s no food on the table? Why you didn’t cook?  I'll tell you, surely you don't wanna ask your mom these questions or anyone in your household especially if you just came back from work feeling very hungry and tired. Calm down my friend and drink water first. You're in a cold sweat. It's not yet the end of the world. Just relax and don't scream. I'll tell you, surely the only way to escape from this is to get out of your house and find the nearest convenience store or much better restaurant. Food delivery is okay too.
Eureka! At last, the chaos inside your stomach will be over. You saw that there's a fast food nearby. One of your favorites. It's Tokyo Tokyo! Time to eat!
I'll tell you, surely no one wants to experience this but in reality most of us do experience this unforgivable circumstance. It's a great thing that nowadays as long as we have enough money we can resolve our hunger quick and easy. Whether we like it or not, fast food is still most of the time the answer to your hungry tummy.

In the Philippines, millions of people go to different fast food chains everyday. Undeniably, our crazy busy lifestyle era often leads us to rely on buying instant food and all-in meals. I can say that we are already used to standing in the long line of people and sweet smile from a crew member. Let's be honest, we love crunchy chicken and we want to buy bucket meal like all the time. However, too much is somewhat always bad. It's also important to eat healthy food cooked by your mom. Always follow this rule of thumb; "Everything in Moderation".


So what do you usually order? When we say "fast food" we always think of McDonalds or Pizza Hut. For Filipinos, the first name that comes in our mind is Jollibee. Thanks to globalization because of it we can eat chinese food in Chowking and taste new ramen in Tokyo Tokyo. Speaking of, last month I was invited by my friends to attend Every Nation Church worship service in Bonifacio Global City and we went to Market! Market! after. It was like first time for everything, from church to mall. Our minds didn't agree with each other first where to eat but later on we just decided to take our dinner in Tokyo Tokyo. Honestly, this is the most popular Japanese restaurant chain in the country and its signature is the bento, also known as "a complete meal in a box". Plus! It's all the rice you can eat. Brilliant! Right? 
The price is right! I can say that meals are budget-friendly because you can be full for the price of under 200 Pesos(roughly 4 US Dollars). From bento meals, ramen, maki to desserts. Everything is affordable and definitely a haven for rice lovers. Sadly, we were not able to try their new ramen because it was not available. We ended up eating the usual meals and sides we order when we go to Tokyo Tokyo. Pretty much you can relate. Check these below!

My favorite! Gyoza! 45 Pesos(roughly 1 US Dollar) *value add on 

Maki makes me full quickly. 60 Pesos(roughly 1.20 USD) for 4 pcs.

Truly a bestseller! Prawn Tempura(served with rice and vegetables). 
170 Pesos(roughly 3.40 USD) *Ala Carte / 230 Pesos(roughly 4.60 USD) *Bento Upgrade.

Tasty! Beef Misono(served with rice and vegetables).
170 Pesos(roughly 3.40 USD) *Ala Carte / 230 Pesos(roughly 4.60 USD) *Bento Upgrade.

I want more sauce in my Pork Katsudon! 100 Pesos(roughly 2 USD) *Ala Carte / 125 Pesos(roughly 2.50 USD) *Bento Upgrade. Miso Soup and Almond Jelly Dessert are 45 Pesos each(roughly 1 USD)

*Prices may still vary among stores. Please check Tokyo Tokyo website for more details http://www.tokyotokyo.com.ph/menu.php

Finally! Hunger is over! How's the food you ate? Hope it won't happen again because next time you might end up eating canned sardines. Tokyo! Tokyo! is always my top choice whenever I want to eat tempura or gyoza because it's accessible. It's like everywhere. It may be debatable to you but based on experience if you will compare it to a fine dining Japanese restaurant in Makati City the taste of the food is almost the same. Come and try it! Get your chopsticks ready!

Puerto Galera, Oriental Mindoro, Philippines: Last Hurrah to Summer!!!

"Rain, Rain, Go away, come again another day, little Johnny wants to play" I guess we need to turn up our voices full blast again when we sing this nursery rhyme everytime the rain comes, hahah! I remember, even when I was a kid I used to sing this but unfortunately It didn't work most of the time. It was last week of May when PAGASA, the Philippines weather bureau declared the onset of rainy days.  Oh My! I just hate this (wet)season! I hate thunderstorms, specifically lightnings. Let me not forget the floods in Manila and the traffic congestion caused by it, routes and ways are not passable for 1-3 hours or may be longer depending on the height of the flood. On the contrary, this is a perfect time for the farmers to plant their seedlings. Isn't it a paradox? The disadvantages for you are advantages for some or many, like the rain for me is stressing but for the farmers it's a blessing.  Funny thing, whether I like it or not the weather today or would be tomo...

Museo San Agustin Intramuros: Tale Of The Oldest Stone Church In The Philippines

It's not fool to say that April month is on its way! Aren't you excited? One more week to go and we need to turn another calendar page. What are you looking forward to? Yey! The long wait is almost over and I can feel the summer here in the Philippines. Without a doubt, one of the things you have on your list this April is "grand vacation". For students, definitely a much longer hours of sleep since officially most are already on school break this time. For catholics, let's not forget that Holy Week falls on April this year. Are you ready for the Visita Iglesia(church visit)? Well, you're maybe still on the process of searching for your seven churches and if I'm correct you might wanna consider  San Agustin Church especially if your route is just within Manila City. Aside from Casa Manila, this is also a must-see place in the Walled City, Intramuros . It was last year when I visited this church for the holy week also and that was the only time I had a ch...

WOW Philippines 2024: Iloilo & Guimaras

Welcome to Iloilo, my Mom’s beloved hometown! It’s incredibly hot and humid today—dry season has definitely arrived again here in the Philippines . Thankfully, I’ll be working from home for the next three weeks, which gives me the perfect opportunity to start another blog. But before I get into that, it’s hard to ignore the negative things happening around us. The ongoing tensions in the Middle East are affecting everyone—fuel prices are rising, transport strikes are happening here and there, and inflation continues to weigh heavily on people. You can feel the growing anxiety everywhere. I just hope this all comes to an end soon, as economies around the world continue to struggle. Stairway to Heaven Now, let’s talk about childhood memories. Which moments from your childhood have you found yourself wishing you could experience again? Maybe it’s riding a bike with your childhood friends, or visiting your grandparents during school breaks. There are so many memories t...
