Eat-all-you-can @ Yakimix Tomas Morato

First of all, I love Yakimix.

My officemate and i went there during lunch and the place is not packed so we had no problem with reservations. The Tomas Morato branch is not a big place and i like the ambiance. 

I got some fried rice and vegetable, lots of raw meat for grilling, some seafood, veggie salad and lots lots of dessert - gush i am dessert person. I like the meat, bite size and lots of flavor, i ate a lot without really knowing about it - good for me, i am naturally slim person. But the seafood,  i ate only a piece or two, i am not really a fan of grilled seafood - i like them buttered specially the shrimp.

There are lots of  sushi that i have no idea about but my friend's a fan. So she ate lots of those - sushi, tempura, sashimi - and she said that those alone will make up for the price.

Let's get on with dessert, there are lots of cakes (ube, chocolate, chessecakes, choco mousse), tarts, brownies, salads, macaroons and a variety of ice cream with all sorts of topping (so make your own) and popsicles ( how awesome is that).  I try all there is except the brownies, im not really a fan of brownies. And when the waiter announce a last call, what have i not eaten yet? Oh, the fruits and some little cheesecakes again haha.

Love eating at Yakimix. But if you will go there during weekends and holiday, be sure to make a reservation because there might be a waiting line.

ATWAMANUKAN GRILL eat-all-you-can

My office mates scheduled a dinner and we decided - we'll i suggested it because i always see this new place on my way to the office. As i recall, Dampa sa Quezon Ave. was previously located there - i dont know if its with the same management and they just change the name but i think its fairly new.

So we went there and we arrived at around 6:30 pm, it's just along quezon ave near Averdeen Hotel and beside Punchline. We are the first customers (we are 13 exactly), dinner is 6:00 pm to 9:00pm. The place is an open area, there's a resort-like feel to it. Tables are located on a gazebo, i've seen two for the dining and another for the buffet. Each gazebo would accommodate at least 40 persons and they have a function hall for events and parties. 

As for the food, they are all Filipino cuisine nothing extraordinary but not bad at all. I thinks its okay and for the price of P 195.00 and 40.00 for bottomless ice tea, its fairly reasonable. What i like is that their food is on individual - i dont know what its called - charcoal stove, so the food is hot specially the soups. I didn't get all the name of the dishes, some are sisig, bopis, sinigang na baboy, sinigang sa miso, kare-kare, chicken lollipop, fried chicken, dinuguan, lechon kawali and there atleast ten more but i didnt get to taste. Desserts are the usual fruits  (watermelon and pineapple) and banana fritters, sweetened banana and ube (not pure).

If you get the bottomless ice tea, you dont have to call the waiters and you woudn't even notice you've drinking a lot of it because they keep on refilling it. One complain though, you can use all the plates you want but only one fork and spoon - that might be done also to other restaurant but we didnt know at that time and we reserve for 15 but arrived only 13 so there's an extra 2 at the table. One of my office mate use two sets of utensils, only one set of unused utensil was retrieved, so billing came and we are charged at 14. Naturally, there's argument  but it has been settled. The staff are attentive, polite but i guess they're not really that experienced yet.

IMHO, this is good when you're on a budget and want to have a really full meal, i just hope they add more to the desserts (i'm a dessert person). This is also good for parties on a budget, it also cost 195 with free use of the function room for a minimum of 50 persons. But if you're also celebrating an occassion and you have a guest of 10 or more, this is a good place, no-hassle for you.
