TOKYO TOKYO Fire and Ice

We were in BGC a few days ago to attend popular Japanese restaurant chain TokyoTokyo's Fire and Ice event. We were kind of kept in the dark of what it was all about but I had a pretty good hunch it was about new products in their store. I got my answer right after a few rounds of my favorite TokyoTokyo Red Iced Tea. Mmmm...

 

FIRE - an element that pronounces a man's courage and fervor. It's the perfect element to also signify hot melted cheese, oozing out on layers of soft meat covered in crispy bread crumbs and fried to perfection. This is their new CHEESE TONKATSU BENTO. 

Imagine your teeth sinking into finely shredded cabbage with roasted sesame dressing, tons of melted cheese with pork cutlet covered in crispy bread crumb batter and piping hot rice. Tell me, how can you go wrong with that?!

How cheesy is it?! Let's ask Paul!

You might not be able to hold it up with your chopsticks that long because the melted cheese just drips put of the meat. 

Then it was time for desserts!

ICE - made from the element of life, water. It signifies all things living and celebrates the sweetness of it.  shows better in the new TokyoTokyo dessert offerings!

This is their new SNOW ICE. It's roots come from the mother of all Asian desserts called Kakigori in Japan. It is said to be the forefather of the Philippines own HALO HALO or the Ice Kacang of Malaysia. They usually serve this at festivals to celebrate and induce luck and fortune. It's also available un three variants namely HaloHalo, Choco Sensation and the Mango Peach Medley. The halohalo is a modern take on the local dessert complete with ube, leche flan, nata de coco and crunchy corn flakes. Choco Sensation felt more of like brownie ala mode as it is composed of brownie chuncks, marshmallows, chocolate sauce and a cherry on top. My personal favorite the Mango Peach Medley resonates that fruity tropical flavors you'll love on a hot Sunday afternoon. All of these desserts lie on a bed of super finely shaved Vanilla ice that gives it just the right amount of sweetness. It's also perfect for sharing! 

Tokyo Tokyo also had Kaya F.C. and Daniel Matsunaga there that afternoon. Even the Japanese guys in the team were overjoyed that they tasted a lot of what they had back at home. If they approve it, Pinoys should definitely rush over to TokyoTokyo branches nationwide and get the same Fire and Ice love we had that afternoon. 

I'll definitely go back for the Cheese Tonkatsu Bento and the Snow Ice desserts soon!

Ciao!

New Album: Jed Madela All Original

I first saw Jed Madela during the charity concert in Nuvali last year for the benefit of the families of fallen soldiers and their kids. That one particular performance made me realize that he's definitely a powerful singer, no wonder he's brought the country pride by winning World Championships here and there. The chills, the goosebumps you get would probably be a normal occurrence every time he goes on stage... we felt that a few days ago during the launch of his new album entitled Jed Madela ALL ORIGINAL.

We had ourselves glued on our seats to listen to his songs that afternoon expecting the usual ballads or belting songs he always gets to be identified with. It was a little crazy because we were stunned as he opened with a full EDM track. No joke. It was electronic dance music with his vocals on the track. That really put us off, but you know what? It really worked. It was different and showed his range. It's the track entitled Wish. The words could probably pass of as a romantic one but when it's arranged like that, it'll definitely put you in the mood to dance.

Jed also wants to help a lot of our up and coming singers by putting up a school soon. As of now, he's in organizations and programs that help individuals who started just like him. He's also training a couple of his relatives that asked for help since they probably want to follow in his footsteps. Let's face it, Jed can sing a phonebook and you would still believe it.

If you want to see a different kind of Jed Madela, it's time you buy his new album entitled Jed Madela ALL ORIGINAL. It's available in all leading music stores nationwide. It is released under your favorite Star Records.

The help that they have been getting from individuals is tremendous. Even this branch was given free by the mall owners as a way to give back to the community. It was attended by Vice Mayor Dr. Jose Fabian I. Cadiz, Riverbanks Center's Owners Meneleo Carlos Jr and his daughter Rosario, plus the Caritas Manila board of trustees Rosario Villar and Francisco Hugo . From the diocese of Antipolo there's Father Mabini Caldo and Father Bienvenido Miguel who also officiated the store's blessing.
