pre=”">Fook Yuen- one of my favorite banawe restaurant. And arguably, one of the best places to eat crab in metro manila. Not counting the ambience though.
Oyster balls- 
clumps of oyster meat, dip in a light batter then fried/ The oysters were plump and sweet with no traces of “fishy odor”.
class=”hiddenSpellError” pre=”">Fook yuen crab with sotanghon- this dish may not look appetizing, but trust me, this is one of the best crab dishes in town. 
The sauce is creamy and savory and is perfect for the crab. Eat it with the sotanghon is not enough.. you have to order rice here. And have the rice soak up the sauce while you pick the meat from the crab. The meat is cooked perfectly . sweet and so heavenly, I could eat this everyday,
Oh well, there were lot of cars parked outside, which made me want to give it a try.
Very very good. Cooked to order ensuring the freshness of the dish. My only rant here is the wrapper, it wasn’t soft and elastic…
Their servings were big. Perfectly cooked. The fish was tender and soft. And the sauce have the right sweetness and tanginess.
The pork belly used has more meat than fat which was a good thing, I hope they could maintain such cut of meat. The skin was as crispy as it can be, without drying the meat out.
this is a complete meal by itself. Complete with chicken strips, wantons, dumplings, beef brisket, noodles and soup which is served separately.
refreshing, huge glass, ask for extra crushed ice. because it can be very sweet.
grass jelly with almond. One of my favorite drinks
full of ingredients like prawns, sliced beef, sliced pork asado. This was good, a little oily but very good. The noodles were cooked just right
described as stuffed with Chinese sausage. It tasted more like radish cake than tofu, I was expecting it to be silky soft with sausage slices in between. But the sausage was minced and incorporated to the tofu.
this was pretty good, the spareribs were tender and the sauce was something new. The coffee aroma and flavor was indeed there. Made into a sweet and slightly salty sauce. It coats the spareribs lightly but perfectly.
the color was more evident than the taste. I would not order this again..
with roasted pork asado, century egg, soy chicken, Jelly fish, Roasted Goose- everything was good, the Pork asado was very tender and has the perfect meat and fat ratio. Very juicy. The Roasted Goose was also delicious.
lots of noodles with bits and pieces of meat and seafood plus the famous orange quail egg. This dish was seasoned perfectly and cooked just right. The noodles are aldente and doestn break apart easily. It wasnt dry.
this was my least favorite dish of the day. The breading made the fish dry. It would be better if they used a batter kind of breading.. like the one they use in fish and chips. It could have maintain the moisture of the fish.
both items were cooked excellently. THe brocolli maintained its color and crispness even when cooked. The scallops were easy to eat. Dip it in chinese bagoomg to enhance the taste.
this was just okay
abalone when not cooked properly tend to be tough. this was easy to eat and yummy.,
the soy ginger oil douse on the fish was just perfect for the fish THe flesh was soft and silky.
this was just lip smacking and finger licking good. grabe, i could eat this everyday.
i just topped it with the buchi:)
Who doesn’t love a good deal? Coming from the same group(Bistro Group) that brought us Fridays, Italianis, Fish and Co .
. They made the batter a bit thinner than their regular pancakes. Topped with sliced mangoes, which iwas…unfortunately not really sweet. It was tangy… good thing there was vanilla ice cream to off set the tanginess. You can request for caramel sauce, which I did. And it was very good.
fish flossed fried till golden brown. Topped with julienne mango slices then doused with a thai inspired salad dressing that is both sweet and tangy.
Serving also rice meals where in you can taste different dishes in one plate. Everything on the plate was good, from the pad thai, to the calamari and of course their bagooong rice
The famous thai sour/spicy soup. Perfect for the cold rainy days. It loosen up the nasal passages with one sip:)
for me they still serve of the best version of chicken pandan in metro manila. The marinade penetrates all the fibers of the chicken meat resulting in a sweet with hints of saltiness. The chicken is always cooked perfectly, still moist insde.
The pork was siliced just right, not too thin and not too thick, floured then deep fried to produce a crispy product yet it was tender and moist inside. The sauce was just enough and it didn’t flood the plate. The sweet and sour balance was also just right.
The tofu were quickly fried and still silky inside. The seafood were cooked perfectly. The prawns were still springy and crunchy. The fish was flaky and soft, the squid was perfect and not a chore to eat.
noodles were cooked just right lots or meat and seafood,. Seasoned perfectly
anyone who can tell me how can a chinese restaurant produce beef this soft and tender?. This was super good…
Size was fairly adequate. It was moist inside with a piece of squid that was just cooked perfectly. It was good, not as good as the ones in Hana in Makati cinema square but definitely better than the takoyaki of KOZUI. Funny thing here, they name their restaurant as Octoboy but they don’t serve Octopus meat… WHY???
How does it taste like? They used the same batter for the okonomiyaki and takoyaki, which shouldn’t be the case.. It has a tad too much cheese, lack the ginger flavor and it was oily. I hope they would reprice this dish to be around P150-160… because I really think it is a bit overprice. To those who don’t know what a okonomiyaki taste like, go to Little Tokyo in Makati, and proceed to Kagura for a real okonomiyaki experience for the same price range, but Octoboy would lower the price then I would give this okomiyaki another chance.
Tomato sauce base, sprinkled with garlic bit then topped with loads of mozzarela cheese then baked to perfection. A whole pizza cost 549pesos and a slice cost 99 pesos.
