YakiMIX. Sushi, Smokeless Grill, Restaurant. SM Mall Of Asia


Me and my boyfriend are fond of making our date an eat-all-you-can experience. We were looking for something different for our anniversary, until we found - YAKIMIX.

YakiMix is an eat-all-you-can and grill-it-yourself restaurant that offers a wide selection of asian cuisines, from Japanese, Cantonese to Korean.


The lunch buffet costs Php 499 per head on weekdays; Php 599 on weekends, which is also the same price for dinner every night of the week. A little expensive, but considering the amount of food choices you get compared with other eat-all-you-can restaurants we’ve tried so far.

For children below feet, they offer a special rate of Php 380. Their bottomless drinks cost Php 75. And in case you have leftovers (a no-no when you’re at eat-all-you-can restaurants), they charge Php 699 per head.


This was our reservation sheet, first-come-first-serve basis! AND LOOK! We're at #1!


Here's the raw food section for your Grill-It-Yourself experience right in front of your table!


For those who doesn't like the smokeless grill, don't be sad!
They also have a cooked meals section.


Sushi and Maki Section.


Sweets Section (cakes and pastries)


Salad and Ice Cream Section.


That's me enjoying the smokeless grill! Making the most of my favorites - SHRIMP!


IT IS ABSOLUTELY, WORTH IT! *pinky promise*

Tahoooooo! ♥



And just like my everyday coffee at the office -- Tahoooooo! ♥



Taho - One of the famous Philippine street food that is made of a soft gelatin-like snack made from processed soybeans topped with caramel arnibal (brown sugar and vanilla syrup) and tapioca pearls (locally called sago).

It is usually peddled by a "mangtataho". They are carrying two huge aluminum or stainless buckets (or riding a bike with the containers on the sidecar) and shouting Tahoooô! One of the buckets (the larger one) carries the tofu base; the other, smaller bucket holds the arnibal and sago "pearls"

How To Make Taho from Soybean

Materials:
3 cups mature and newly harvested soybeans
2 bars white gulaman
3 cups brown sugar
strainer (muslin or nylon cloth)

Procedure:
1. Soak soybeans overnight in water 3 times its volume.
2. Remove outer covering, grind; add water little by little (at least 6 cups) while grinding.
3. Dissolve 2 bars gulaman in boiling water (7 cups).
4. Pour the ground soybean in boiling gulaman for 7 minutes or until the odor of grains is removed.
5. Set aside until it coagulates.
6. Serve with syrup.

Taho Syrup is prepared as follows:
- 3 cups sugar is dissolved in 3 cups water. The sugar may be caramelized to improve color and flavor.

Taho are very affordable. This small cup (photo above) cost only 5.00 Philippine Peso. Mangtataho usually sells in the morning, a comfort food for breakfast!
