Taipei Spa Pasay: Post- Massage Taiwanese Dinner (Pasay City Metro Manila)
Pasay, Metro Manila, Philippines
If you got half a day for food and relaxation, we highly recommend spending it in Taipei Spa Pasay (å°å SPAåŗé¢åŗ).
It has a spacious dining and massage area. For special occassions, you can splurge and avail of their VIP rooms with jacuzzi. Alternatively, you can enjoy a foot massage while relaxing by the scenic fish pond.
Food
 |
| Xiao Long Bao |
Best part of all is that they offer a wide selection of affordable Taiwanese food.
 |
| ♥ Mushroom Skewers |
It ranges from Taiwanese street foods to a full-blown meal.
 |
| Cold Tofu |
Best to visit in groups because most dishes are great for sharing.
 |
| ♥ Braised Beef Shanks |
Everything we tried was satisfying.
 |
| ♥ Oyster Omelette |
Most of the dishes were actually quite new for us.
 |
| ♥ Taiwanese Oyster Noodles |
My favorite was the Taiwanese Oyster Noodles. It is served with rice vermicelli noodles.
 |
| Taiwanese Pig Intestine Noodles |
The Taiwanese Pig Intestine Noodles were also good.
 |
| Seafood Noodles |
You could also go for egg noodles like the Seafood Noodles.
 |
| Onion and Leeks Noodles |
You definitely cannot go wrong with the noodle options.
 |
| ♥ Taiwanese Halo-halo |
An interesting experience for us too was the Taiwanese Halo-halo where you will get to pick the toppings.

| Complimentary Fruits |
If you get a massage, you also get to enjoy some Complimentary Fruits.
 |
| Complimentary Green Apple Slices |
Tsinoy Foodies Verdict
Taipei Spa is not only great for having a luxious spa experience. It is now also a great food stop for affordable Taiwanese food that's open 24 hours!

Yakumi Sunday Brunch at Solaire Resort: Double Birthday Celebration (ParaƱaque Metro Manila)
Entertainment City, 1 Aseana Ave, ParaƱaque, 1701 Metro Manila, Philippines
The family has been planning to try the Yakumi Sunday Brunch for quite some time. I myself have not been back to Yakumi in Solaire Resort since 2015, so I'm quite thrilled with the idea.
 |
| Yakumi Fresh Japanese Sashimi Cart |
Where else can you find a fresh Japanese sashimi cart like this? Yakumi takes pride in sourcing the finest and freshest seafood ingredients from the biggest fish market in the world - Toyosu Fish Market (č±ę“²åøå “) in Tokyo, Japan.
 |
| Yakumi Fresh Japanese Sashimi Plate |
You can have as much sashimi as you want. As you can see, it is evident from the Octopus Sashimi, Salmon Sashimi, Tuna Sashimi and Japanese Spanish Mackarel Sashimi that they are jet fresh as Yakumi flies its ingredients as often as twice a week. Thus, they can even provide genuine grated Wasabi which is rarely offered by Japanese restaurants here in the Philippines.
Nigiri Station
 |
| Kanikama Roll |
Among the 8 food stations, the Nigiri Station is our first stop. There are so many variants of Nigiri Sushi and Makimono or rolls to choose from.
 |
| Salmon Oshizushi Pressed Sushi |
The Salmon Oshizushi is a traditional style of pressed sushi that originated in the Kansai region.
 |
| Aburi Sushi |
The Aburi Sushi consists of thinly sliced flame-torched salmon that melts in the mouth.
 |
| Yakumi Nigiri Sushi and Makimono Plate |
Makimono rolls include Volcano Roll, California Maki, Takuwan Roll, Kappa Roll, Ebi Tempura Roll and more.
Its noteworthy to mention that Yakumi also has a Sushi Happy House (1,150+ php) every Wednesday from 5:30 PM to 9:30 PM with a more limited menu. But, its quite reasonable because the quality is the same for a much lesser price!
Meat Teppanyaki Station and Oysters Station
 |
| Yakumi Meat and Oyster Station |
For meat lovers, Yakumi also serves USDA Beef Steaks, Pork Loin Steak and Chicken Steak. We also ordered the Buttered Oysters but they failed to make a memorable impression.
Seafood Teppanyaki Station
 |
| Yakumi Seafood Teppanyaki Station |
As aforementioned, the seafood is really the pride of Yakumi so the Seafood Teppanyaki Station is also quite extensive.
 |
| Yakumi Seafood Teppanyaki Plate |
Everything we tried: Blue Marlin, Spanish Marackrel with Onion Soy, Red Snapper Papillote, Squid Lemon Butter Soy, Scallop, and Sake Steamed Mussels were delicious!
 |
| Udon |
We also found the Udon to be wonderfully comforting.
 |
| Chawanmushi |
This version of the Chawanmushi is also quite special. It has mushrooms, shrimps, mackarale and even Hokkaido scallops.
Robotayaki Station
 |
| Yakumi Robotayaki Station |
Offerings from the Robotayaki Station are Chicken Wing with Sweet Soy, Chicken Live with Sweet Soy, Chicken Gizzard with Salt, Sancho Tuna Steak, and Spanish Mackarel, and more.
 |
| Yakumi Robotayaki Plate |
As you can see, the serving portions are huge so better order for sharing.
Salads
 |
| Tofu Avocado Salad |
In addition to the food stations, there is a complimentary Tofu Avocado Salad and you can also order from the menu.
 |
| Yakumi Dessert Bento Box |
The Yakumi Sunday Brunch is also popular for its complimentary Dessert Bento Box. Each table is served only one wooden Dessert Bento Box regardless of the number of diners. Each grid contains a different kind of dessert. It also comes with Black Sesame, Matcha and Corn Ice Cream, Cake Pops, and Fresh Fruits. You can request for additional scoops of their delicious ice cream.
 |
| Yakumi Candy Bar |
The kids can enjoy themselves at the Candy Bar.
 |
| Yakumi Complimentary Birthday Cake |
Both of my sisters received a Complimentary Birthday Cake.
Drinks
We opted to avail of the buffet with alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks.
Japanese Whisky
 |
| Japanese Whisky Bar |
You can order your preferred Japanese Whisky such as Iwai Traditional Blended, Iwai Whisky Cocktails, Shimamoto Sour, and Mars.
 |
| ♥ Iwai Whisky Cocktail: Pineapple Smash |
Based on our experience, the Iwai Whisky Cocktails blend depends on the barista. This first glass we had so good. We instantly distinguished it from our next batch made by another barista.
The Yakumi Sunday Brunch at Solaire Resort is definitely the best Japanese brunch buffet we've ever had. The seafood freshness and quality of the seafood really stands out above the rest. The service is great too! Considering the price-point though, we might have to try other buffets we haven't tried yet before coming back here again.
