I love small homey restaurants wherein you can just seat down, unwind. And eat good food. And this is exactly how I feel everytime I go to this place. Owned by Chi and Apple Tirona. Very nice people and very accommodating. No wonder people flock here to eat and have a good time.

The brick oven is the star of this resto, located behind the counter . It is where they cooked more than 50 percent of their dishes..

Interiors are kept to a simple. Service is fast and efficient.

On the Table

Phillycheesteak Pizza(330)- near perfect pizza crust, just the right thickness. Good amount of cheese. My only comment and suggestion here is that they should not use tomato based sauce. An authentic phillycheesteak is just a blend of cheesewhiz, sautéed caramelized onions and tender beef strips.

Molten Chocolate Cake(120)- LAVA cake!!!, oozing with chocolatey goodness.. yummy, I wanted it to come with a straw so I can suck the chocolate:).

Appie Pie Pizza(105)- some people would not think of pizza for a dessert. But I think people who have tried Chi’s dessert pizza would argue otherwise. Perfect combination of sautéed apples, cinnamon, crushed graham and dollops of vanilla ice cream. Served hot from the brick oven, the vanilla ice cream slowly melting on the pizza, It was indeed yummy.

I love little places like this in BF Sucat. One more thing to rave about,. hey don’t charge you for corkage so to those wine drinkers, just bring your own bottles and enjoy.

BF homes in Sucat Paranaque is a Mecca for foodlovers. How I envy people from the south who live in this area because of the diversity of the food available here. From Chinese, Japanese, Mexican, Italian, Filipino, Middle Eastern, German, Continental, Korean, name it and I think u can find it here all within one village.

One of the place that I have been seeing everytime I come here is this place Aguirre Ave. cor Vinzons. Hanazaku. A fine Japanese restaurant that can give those Japanese restaurant in Makati a run for their money. Opened in 2005, this place is simple, cozy and yet serves a mean Japanese meal. The Chef…Mr.Otsuka has been cooking for the past 26 years and for that amount of experience you can be sure of the quality the food he prepares.

On the Table.

Ebi Ten Maki(270)- all the blogs or articles I read about this place, always make mention fo this dish, do I just have to try it. A little expensive if u ask me.. consisting of Tempura made into a maki with a delicious sauce embedded inside it. What makes a great maki is the rice… the rice they use here is definitely top notch, cooked perfectly, it maintain its shape and texture , not mushy but cooked throough soft..… u can feel the stickiness u get form Japanese rice, flavoured very well, with vinegar and some mirin… one of the best sushi rice I tasted…

The maki as a whole was wonderful, crispy filling counteracting the softness of the rice. Dipped it in the usual Soy sauce Wasabi….

Take note, they serve freshly grated wasabi… After tasting the fresh wasabi I don’t wanna go back to the tube type we get from the supermarket and other restaurants.

Tori Teriyaki Don- 270. comes with miso soup and pickled veggies. The Chicken was plump and freshly cooked. The teriyaki sauce has the right blend of of sweetness and saltiness. Not too sweet unlike the ones from the other restos we are so used to. Again the rice here is very good,

Mixed Tempura 390. 3 pieces of Ebi, 1 asohos, 1 egg plant and 1 kakiage. Perfectly crisp batter. Light and crispy.. not too oily and no oily aftertaste which mean the cooking oil they used is not old. Everything was fried to perfection, Crispy outside, soft inside.. except for the ebi which was succulent and crispy inside too. Telling us that the ebi used is fresh.

Another different thing they serve here is the house green tea. Freshly brewed, bot the ones in the tea bag… Very refreshing tea…

I love that their menu has pictures of a lot of their food and what u get is exactly the same as what u ordered.

The place is definitely one of the better Japanese restos down south. They serve a lot of wagyu items as well, will try it mext time… Will be back here for sure…
