Anyway, I'm still the same old Paw who's still obsessing over milktea.. but this time, I want to make a review on one of my favorite foods: Okonomiyaki.
Okonomiyaki is basically a Japanese type of pizza, wherein a diner mixes ingredients of their choice to form a healthy and satisfying snack (or meal, lol). Vegetables, seafood, and pork are usually used for toppings/fillings, but some also incorporate non-traditional items such cheese.
As a Japanese food fanatic, I find it quite stressful as to where I could find the best okonomiyaki here in Manila. I presumed it to be a rare find and might prove to be impossible.. but I was dead wrong. In fact, it was closer to me that I ever would've guessed.
Little Tokyo in the Pasong Tamo area of Makati is chuck full of surprises, and many months ago (yes, this post is extremely late) I happened to chance upon the best place for this treat: Kagura Okonomiyaki restaurant. My favorite among the many available choices are the ones labelled as "Modern", which are topped with noodles. I find them tastier than the plain okonomiyaki variants.

I urge most, if not all of you Japanese food fans out there to give this place a try. After finding this goldmine of awesome authentic okonomiyaki, I've been eating it about thrice every 2 weeks or so. It's just THAT good. :) It's perfect to be washed down with some refreshing mugi cha, which is cold pure tea (without the heavy sugar taste found in iced teas).
My friends and I have seriously been raving over their okonomiyaki dishes.. and it's about time that you do as well :D
Kagura is located in Little Tokyo, Pasong Tamo (beside Makati Square). Closed on Mondays. Their store hours are at 11:30pm-3:00pm, then 6:00pm-10:00pm. 200+php per okonomiyaki :)
