YOOGANE Korean Restaurant

     Nowadays Korean influence was scattered all over the Philippines. Through fashion, languages, movies, especially foods. 

     Somewhere in Tomas Morato at Ill Terrazo Building Corner Scout Madrinan you'll find a korean restaurant named YOOGANE. A korean restaurant originated in Korea which is famous by their Dak Galbi. 

     Dak galbi is a famous korean dish. Usually it is made of diced chicken stir-fry together with a rice, onion, sweet potato, sliced cabbage, based sauce, scallions etc. But in this case we added mozzarella cheese to make it more tastier for additional 80php. 
     Yoogane's serving was different, If you order one of their Chef specialties or Main dishes they'll serve and cook it in front of you. From the table they have the pan in the middle which supported by a stove below the table. This is quite impressive. 

Stir-Frying of Dak Galbi

     Me and my friend was so curious, so we tried to stir it too.. But I think we messed it up. haha.. After putting all the ingridients and stri-frying it for about 10 mins. Tadahhh! ready to eat! 

Yoogane's Marinated Chicken Galbi Fried Rice 210php

     It was very mouthwatering. Aside from Yoogane's Dak Galbi we also tried their Beef Bulgogi which is also one of the best seller.

      It tastes really good. I suggest you should try this. 

     By the way, their appetizers was all free. And it's unlimited. We refilled our kimchi thrice. For appetizer they served toge, sweetened dilis, sweet potato, salted labanos on a vinegar, and a diced cabbage with thousand island.

    My friend is a fan of K-pop. Since she's curious how Soju tastes like.. We orderd 1 bottle too. 

Soju 200php

    Soju is a distilled beverage native to korea. It is the 3rd best seller liquor in the world. Imagine how famous it is? (Thanks to Wikipedia)

    So how's the taste? Well.. It tastes more like vodka.. I can't imagine how my face looks like on my first shot. Since I don't really drink alcohol talaga.. But eventually it became sweeter due to sugars. Well, I won't suggest this to you. hahaha. 

    Since we got no time, We already asked for the bill. And I got surprised when they gave us Yakult. 

Complimentary Yakult

       My all time favorite yakult! I find it cool. 

       All in all, I enjoyed our experiance at Yoogane. And I will surely come back one of this days. Ill bring my sisters here since they're also a fan of K-pop. Well, The staffs are very accomodating the even took a picture of us. 

   Faces of satisfied tummy. The ambiance was awesome. I love the graffiti art work on the wall since I love art, I find their place really comfortable and not boring.

Modern Filipino Restaurant : OMBU

Nothing beats our very own Filipino cuisine. 

Somewhere in Timog Ave, Quezon City you will find a very homely fine restaurant. Named OMBU. The interior was quite eye catchy. From the ceiling up to the couches and wall. The ambiance was quite comfy. With a very humble and approachable crews. When we came in, they greeted us with smiling faces and offer a table for us straight away.

The prices ain't that expensive. Well, Big serving naman. So it's all worth it. 
We came here as a group so we ordered the majorities choice that could satisfy our hungry tummy. Since we all came from work somewhere in Q.Ave. 

For our appetizer, we got Bulalo for 490php.

Since I got no time to took some pictures of the foods I just grabbed it from their facebook site. Pero konti lang. Some are mine. haha 
Anyways, their bulalo was very appetizing. Not that salty and not tasteless. Since we are group, From the hot traditional palayok the chef it self divide it in front of us. 

Of course this is not a Filipino cuisine if there is no Rice! 

Garlic Rice

Garlic rice costs 90php good for 8 person. That, if you're on diet. But if not, hmmm.. Good for 3 or 4. haha.

Bagnet Dinuguan 280php

 A twist of dinuguan. Less lamang loob. Just Bagnet and a piece of brocolli. I love the bagnet! :)

Sisig 250php

Sizzling Sisig it is! The best. They didn't put too much oil. The best so far. 

Crispy Glazed Chicken 240php

 And my all time favorite. Battered chicken with glazed of sweet and spicy garlic sauce. Ohh this one is awesome!I thought it tastes like Bonchon chicken but no.. Unlike Bonchon na balat lang ang may lasa, This one was very appetizing. 

hern Crusted Mahi-mahi 395php

Well, Im not really a fan of seafoods or fish dishes.. But this one is great! I love the taste of cream sauce and the flavored herb crust. 

We haven't got the chance to order for a dessert since we're all so full and bloated. But as far as I know, their Beignet with Tsokolate Eh Drip cost 145php was their best seller for desert. I wish I could have that next time. 

Overall, My tummy and I enjoyed our Ombu experience. From the accomodating staffs to it's mouthwatering foods. I will surely go back this time with my family.
