Since I think it’s really criminal to spend P500 per person on a mundane lunch meal in Manila, I was so glad to stumble upon the doorsteps of Takaaki’s Restaurant at HK Sun Plaza in the reclaimed area’s Diosdado Macapagal Avenue.
At only P199, they have the cheapest Japanese lunch buffet I can find now in Manila.
Eat all you can is the key phrase here, and it depends on where you want to start. Advice number one is to skip breakfast and go to the place hungry.
You can begin by laying out your meat and seafood on the built-in hibachi grill, while your stuff for the shabu-shabu cooks in the background…. Takaaki’s display counter has a wide selection of greens, noodles, seafood and meat.
Or have a taste of their fish and shrimp tempura. For the bargain price, they’re certainly plump
Or order the assorted sushi. The cup of fried rice is delicious with the grilled barbecue.
