Tokyo Tokyo Zombie
After a long day of work, all we needed is a satisfying dinner at our favorite restaurant or fast food. For me, I have always loved eating at Tokyo Tokyo and I even managed to ignore my girlfriend’s whining of how tired she was of always eating there. We used to eat at Tokyo Tokyo almost everyday when my girlfriend was still working in Ortigas, we meet up and eat at the Tokyo Tokyo located in the 3rd floor, Megamall. We usually order sumo beef teriyaki, 4 pcs california maki and regular red tea which by the way is really refreshing compare to other beverages.
We only got a time-out eating there when my girlfriend started her “home-based online business” leaving me working in Ortigas alone and in addition discovering new places to eat whenever we go malling. One time when I insisted that we try eating at Tokyo Tokyo once again, it seems they made several changes with their regular services and this had given me quite a disappointing experience. First being a Japanese fast-food restaurant they don’t offer any sashimi, well thats already given and I like their california maki anyway. Second their famous, been on-going since 1997 free rice refill promotion or what they call “eat-all-you-kanin” had stopped, I ordered a sumo beef teriyaki and asked if they still have the said promo and the cashier in the cowboy costume (I’m not sure why they are in a cowboy attire I haven’t heard of any “cowboy day” or anything) said the promo is no longer on-going, so I said it’s ok, just add two extra rice to my order which is a very wrong move if you ask me because their sumo meals are no longer served in a tray but instead in a bowl with the size of a wall clock. To make things worst, when we started eating I realized the teriyaki sauce was missing so I called one of the bus boy and asked for a teriyaki sauce and the bus boy asked me five pesos what the hell, teriyaki sauce used to be included in the menu is tokyo tokyo nearing bankruptcy?
Obviously we are not able to finish what we are eating because the rice is to much for both of us, so they end up being taken home as “pasalubong” for our dogs.
I used to be a loyal “parokyano” of Tokyo Tokyo but not anymore, after our experience I can’t risk hearing my girlfriend’s whining with the word “sabi ko na sayo eh” now included.
