MIKADO


What I had for lunch at Mikado

Japanese lunch was had by everyone today to celebrate Jerry's nephew's graduation. Ting got the highest honors (ahem, Valedictorian, no less) for grade school and we couldn't be happier for him and my SIL, Rita.

I had decent portions of ebi tempura, beef teppanyaki, Japanese rice and chicken teriyaki. No dessert for me, thank you. How I wish this self-imposed self-denial manifests in weight loss soon.

The buffet meal was for P275 per person. It was quite reasonable actually. If only the Mikado staff noticed that one dish was already unfit for consumption.

The tofu was of bad quality and the mushroom was tart. Even the gyoza was about ready to go bad since it tasted rancid. Ew. They promptly took the dish off the buffet table, but not after Jerry called their attention about it.

Lesson learned, stick to the more familiar fare on the menu (or buffet table in this case). Better safe than sorry. And if one were to ask me if there's any way I'd go back...

I'll say I'd rather take ngohiong and puso instead....

On another note, I got this link from Memento and thought I should try to find out the readability of this photoblog...

Flesch Reading Ease 78.15
Flesch-Kincaid Grade 4.17

Gunning-Fog index - a rough measure of how many years of schooling it would take someone to understand the content. The lower the number, the more understandable the content will be to your visitors.

Flesch Reading Ease - The higher the score, the easier it is to understand the document. Authors are encouraged to aim for a score of approximately 60 to 70.

Flesch-Kincaid grade level - Like the Gunning-Fog index, it is a rough measure of how many years of schooling it would take someone to understand the content.


The results above give me more reason to stick to photoblogging. It's easier for visitors to appreciate the site since no lengthy composition or profound exposition is necessary. Each picture speaks for itself.

Hehe, okay, enough said already.

I do love your photos! Oh, and I did a calculation. 275 Pesos is equal to about $4.90. Not bad! You cannot get a good buffet here for less than $8 in my experience. I can't wait to get to the Philippines this summer. Wed 27-Apr-2005 19:52

HI PINAYHEKMI!
Thanks! Cebu prices are a tad cheaper compared with Manila. It's great that you are visiting the Philippines. If you still have time to spare, Cebu is also a good destination.

The Mikado buffet was ok...but, I still like the Grand Majestic buffet better...P250 and you have dimsum, peking duck, roast chicken, 3 kinds of mushrooms, mango sago, etc. Thu 28-Apr-2005 22:01

HI JERRY!
Yes Grand Convention's Chinese buffet is really value for money. ForJapanese, Saisaki's buffet is okay but it's too expensive. We should try the other authentic Japanese restos like Nonki and the like, one of these days. If not, let's do our special salmon sushi, kani temaki and cold soba at home na lang.

wow. if not for my current under evaluation status (due to High Cholesterol), I would be taking Jerry to the challenge of Peking Duck buffet hehehe.

I didnt realize, schooling years pala yun...so for 7 years + 3 yrs old (when we start schooling) = 10 years old ang E-gratitude! Wow...ako ata for talagang for 7 years old lang hehehehe

HI JUNNIE!
Ugh, you're right, Peking duck is so rich in cholesterol. It's a guilty pleasure actually. Masarap but not all Chinese restos cook it deliciously. Ducks have a distinct smell kasi.

Nakakakain pa ba kayo ng Chinese diyan sa Canada?

Oo naman, dito sa Chinada marami rin niyan. In fact one whole part of town, correction, 3 parts of Toronto is called Chinatown. That just reminded me to visit it this weekend, dun lang may cheap haircut...hehehe Fri 29-Apr-2005 11:52
