Tokyo Banana



Virtually everyone at the PAL counter at KIX carried packs of Tokyo Banana products for giveaways.  Seriously! This souvenir sweet seems to be the in pasalubong item for Manila-bound passengers.  I must admit though, that I wasn't too happy with the banana flavoring they used, seemed to me to be a little overly fragrant.

President Chibo


Talk about sumptuous meals!  We agreed to meet Joey and Rina at the basement level of the Hotel Nikko.  Based on the recommendation of their AirBNB host, we were scheduled to have lunch at President Chibo which was rated to be one of the good teppanyaki places in the Sinshaibashi area.  The place was quite full when we got there, and we had to make do sitting at different locations.

We were lucky to be seated at a spacious table where we could view the cooking with ease.

We enjoyed so much that we over-ordered.  We are stuffed!  If this were a classroom, I'd give the chef an A+!
