Chibo Okonomiyaki, one of my fave Japanese resto because of their Okonomiyaki food, they are launching now a series of dishes that are now available in their two branches here in Manila. We know that Chibo Okonomiyaki is popular resto brand in Japan, and instead of sticking to the same menu like they have in Japan, here for the Philippines branch, they want to offer more food that has more flavor that targets the Filipino taste palette.
Chibo Okonomiyaki has two branches here in Manila, there’s one in S Maison by Conrad in Pasay City and the 2nd branch is at The Podium Mall in Mandaluyong City.
Im not sure if they have plans in opening a branch up there in the North, but I heard they have plans -- maybe its at SM City North Edsa, or maybe one more branch at the South which is in SM Aura.
Group hug photo with my fellow foodies. I arrived late that day and I just missed some of the new dishes, but I was in time for the best part of the food tasting. So I grabbed Ms Xchosa’s photo from her Facebook to showcase here some of the 3 food that I missed.
I have tasted the 1st tree dishes, and its good
Spicy Yakisoba
PHP 288
- I didnt noticed that this is a spicy yakisoba, all I know is that yakisoba has a strong salty aromatic taste and I like it that way, but adding a spicy chili flavor is a bonus, yeah its good and this is a good partner for an iced cold Japanese beer.
