Review: Toki Japanese Fusion and Fine Dining

Last Saturday, we felt like eating something light but healthy and one which wouldn't make us hungry in 2 hours.  With such qualifications, we decided to do Japanese.  With all the Japanese restos sprouting around like mushrooms -- from fine dining to your tokidoki foodcart -- it's not so easy to find a good one.  When we read the review on Anton's blog recommending it, then we know where to go.

Located at 32nd and 5th Building beside Aubergine, Toki has a very nondescript entrance.  The moment you stepped in, however; the relaxed atmosphere, occasionally broken by the sound of pans, immediately preps you for a good meal.

 After getting ourselves comfortable in their red cushioned seats, we proceeded to order.

the Super Bento Set (Php700)-- Includes Tempura (ho-hum), Sashimi (super good), Soy Chicken (tender and succulent), and Pork which is as soft as butter.

while i went for variety, Ferdi ordered the Unagi Set (Php620) with Soba Noodles

We paired these meals with Black Iced Tea (for me) and cold Oolong tea for Ferdi.  A good brunch and just filling enough to get us through Wall Street 2 without feeling the munches. :)
