Teriyaki Boy, Level 2 Abreeza Ayala Malls, Davao City

In abreeza mall there are so many restaurants specialized in Japanese Cuisine, there are Rai-Rai Ken, Tsuru, Red Kimono, soon to open Sumo Sam by marvin agustin and Teriyaki Boy. I’m not really fond of japanese foods but i like them specially Katsudon since I always ordered this one at the Yurushi Japanese Restaurant nearer from my work place at Ramon Magsaysay Ave., Davao City, it was owned by a pure japanese citizen married to a filipina wife.

I’m so glad one famous restaurant finally opened here in Davao City last May 14, 2011 the name is Teriyaki Boy. They had branches from Tokyo, Osaka, Manila, Luzon, Cebu, Cdo and Now here in Davao. I never forget their one and only funny commercial way back in 2006 with a not so funny angry mascot.

Anyway since teriyaki boy opened in davao we never get a chance to dine in at their restaurant on a few weeks after the opening date, the place was always jampacked, lots of people came in and waiting in line seated outside the resto. Last weekend were able to dine with this casual dining japanese restaurant.

When were there, the place was hip and modern, the atmosphere is cool, with japanese music played on the background, love the interior blend with japanese designs, the waitress/hostess are nice, very pleasant place indeed.

Their must try Katsudon (P 165.00) Breaded pork cutlet, deep fried and simmered in sweet soy sauce, onions and leeks, with beaten egg, topped on a bed of steamed rice. It’s one of my favorite japanese food. Katsudon here is good. But the one restaurant at uyanguren street really tasted better.

Their Best Seller and popular Teriyaki Boy Chicken (P198.00) Succulent grilled boneless chicken, marinated and cooked with their very own teriyaki boy sauce. I really love this specialty, the taste of the chicken is so tender and juicy, the sauce is so savory. It’s a Two Thumbs Up for me…

Of course a meal would never be complete without a drinks, a sweet way to cap off  our meal, so we ordered the teriyaki boy version of Watermelon and Mango Shakes (P 65.00 each), all I can say every ripe of the shake is yummy and refreshing.

Overall I have a very satisfying meal.  You can never go wrong if you dine in with this japanese resto, it’s so affordable we only billed 593.00 pesos for two. I can’t believe it, it so cheap for a japanese meal.

Cafe Laguna, Abreeza, Ayala Malls, Davao City

It’s my second time around to dine in this wonderful filipino cuisine at Cafe Laguna, the first time I enjoy their dishes are at Robinsons Big R Cagayan de Oro last year with my siblings and cousins, it’s good to hear that they opened their 6th branch in Abreeza Mall level 1 broadwalk area.

Cafe Laguna, Abreeza, Ayala Malls, Davao City

Cafe Laguna is owned by sisters Jill Urbina Viado and Grace Urbina Absin. They also owned Lemon Grass a thai-vietnamese resto in Cebu and Laguna Garden Cafe also in Cebu. Coming from the family who loves to cook and eat. The restaurant was started by their parents, who both hail from Laguna. Their mother loves to cook because her mother was also good cook, so they adopted the culture of cooking and eating at an early age. the family moved to Cebu from Laguna, in Luzon in 1975, when her father, a military doctor, was reassigned in Camp Lapu-Lapu, headquarters of the Armed Forces of the Philippines Central Command.

In the late 1980s, her mother Julita, who was then working at Montebello Hotel, started a small eatery to augment the family income and share her love for cooking. Later on, the self-service carinderia named Cafe Laguna, was converted into a fine-dining Filipino restaurant, where moderately-priced Filipino cuisine was served by waiters in a casual atmosphere.

Upon entering the restaurant, the waiter/waitress greeted us a warm welcome,  given us a table with a nice spot atmosphere on the window. They handed us the menu and i’m surprised the price is affordable, except for rice which priced at 38 pesos per cup. I ask the waiter what is their specialty then he quickly said all what you seen on our menu is our specialty, he recommend to try their best seller Beef Caldereta and Seafoods Sinigang at 245.00 pesos each, for desserts we ordered fruit medley at 95.00 pesos and some soda drinks at 30.00 pesos each.
