Toki Q


 The first time I saw Toki Q was about a month ago, we were walking to Tea Tap and it so happened that Toki Q was just across the street!  Little did I know that it was Pat Dy's!  Yes, THE Pat Dy!  My wonderful wedding photographer, Pat Dy!

Yesterday, I received an email from him inviting me to try the place - and last night, my Panget and I, together with Yaya D. and Kailee - we tried this place out!


I was very curious on the rotating barbeque!  So I immediately asked the cook, he said that they will be running the machine in a few minutes to show me.  He was telling me that there are three (3) different speeds - depending on the meat or item to be cooked.  The machine had these clips that held the sticks of the yakitoris, these lead the meats to a griller - then it will lead the meats to be dipped into the sauce (if needed, not all meats are dipped in the sauces).  It was fun to watch because the cook didn't need to keep on turning and tossing the sticks.  I failed to take pic because I was too excited to witness the run!  Haha!!

The newly cooked meats were delish!  I think the selling point of the machine is that it grills the meats to perfection!  The meats were tender and very flavorful, thanks to the yummy sauce!  (If you can, order the extra sauce!)

My Panget liked the chicken skin so much that I had to order two more sticks - to which I never got a bite of!  He said that it was really crispy!  I liked the wings, chicken fillet with asparagus, and the Tontoro Pork - I wish I could eat more!  We were also served with the Kara-age and Toki Bbq Corn - and they both were wonderful!  The Kara-age was tender and the corn was sweet - then topped with the powder - wow, it made the taste more yummy!  I loved the special powder so much that I put some on my rice, yes - it seems weird but I LIKED IT! :)  Haha..

Combo 3 - Chicken Ball, Tontoro Pork, Chicken Wings, Chicken Fillet + Unlimited Rice (P125.00)


Here's a closer look at the meats - YUMM!!



Here's the Tontoro Pork (P30.00/Stick) and the Chicken Skin (P26.00)



 This was what was left of my Combo 4 - 6 pieces of Chicken Wings (P145.00)


The menu is really simple but if you're the visual type and you want to see what you're going to order - check out the display.  The place is quite small - but it serves its purpose since its a fast food!  There are tables and chairs, the place can possibly occupy about 12 to 15 people, but it'll be quite crowded.  The place is air-conditioned and very well lit.  In my opinion, you won't come out smelling like grilled meat because they have very good ventilation - their exhausts are positioned strategically.

Another thing that made the difference is the staff, they're very friendly and warm - they will answer your every question and they seem to really know what they are doing! Try this place out if you're in the area!  But make sure to go early because some food items run out!

ANSON SUPERMARKET - Grocery delivery!!

Sharing is caring, so we can't keep it a secret any longer.  THIS is where we get out groceries!  Well, Anson Supermarket has been where we have been purchasing all of our kids' diapers!  From Kailee to Connor to Shobe!  Yes, yes, yes! A week into the lockdown, it just occurred to us that we can get our groceries from them - but then we thought, we didn't want to force them to do it - after all it's a different time now.  But when we asked and they said yes, it was like we won the lottery.  We sent out our list - a very VERY SPECIFIC list and voila after a day or two (we weren't in a rush) they told us to schedule a pick up.  Please remember that I am sharing this with you guys because I believe so much in the saying 'sharing is caring'.  Please be mindful of your language and respect those who will call or message you about your orders.  Also note that some items might NOT be available - so manage your expectations.   They're a ...

#CookingQuest: Winter Melon Soup ala Didi #EnhancedCommunity

One of the things that gets ooohs and aaaahs in a chinese restaurant is the #WinterMelonSoup.   You may ask why?  Well because with this soup, restaurants use the winter melon itself as a huge bowl to serve the soup!  It's a sight to see as you'll be amazed how they were able to pull it off.  You'll see the whole winter melon, and then suddenly they're take out the top part and when you peek in, the soup is inside together with meat bits and other veggies!  My mom has tried it at home, and I remember her being nervous that the winter melon doesn't break apart, kunde sira ang presentation! So during this #EnhancedCommunityQuarantine, I chanced upon Theo's Farm that they have winter melon, so I ordered.  When I saw it - I knew I wouldn't be able to pull off the carving and serving the winter melon.  It actually made the preparation easier.  I had to ask my mom, and she told me to steam the winter melon to soften it.  Honestly, I don't t...

Learning Mandarin, what method is best?

I studied in a sort of Chinese school for 13 years. So that "sort of' means, I SHOULD know how to speak basic Mandarin right? NOT QUITE!! I studied in a Chinese school where we only get less than an hour of Chinese class daily.  When you think about it, well - one hour a day, should be okay - but the problem is, at that time - it was pure memorization.  The books that we used, were those traditional books that I honestly have no idea what is written in them.  I see Chinese characters and they're just that - Chinese characters without meaning, nothing.  It was not practical if you ask me.  The words we were taught were not used in everyday conversation It was only during my 3rd or 4th year of high school that I realized how important knowing how to speak Chinese was.  It was during a trip to the Chinese border from Hong Kong that while I was going around the mall, I was having a hard time communicating with people who looked like me.  I wa...
