Izakaya Kenta : Authentic Japanese Cuisine Reintroducing Itself in Adriatico

Wazzup Pilipinas!

The saying that you should not judge a book based form its cover is very appropriate for these Japanese restaurant located in Malate that we had the opportunity to visit one rainy night after an event that we attended at the SMX Convention Center, Mall of Asia Complex in Pasay City. My kids and I took a taxi cab from SMX to attend the grand launch of the Japanese restaurant located in Adriatico, and we were amazed at the interiors of the restaurant. The exteriors looked similar to other Japanese restaurants, but the inside was surprisingly magnificent.

The Izakaya Kenta that offers authentic Japanese cuisine is not really new but its under new management. It was formerly located in Pedro Gil St. Malate, Manila, in front of Hyatt Hotel for 13 years, and now reopens in Adriatico St. near Remedios Circle at the Ground Floor of the Malate Bayview Mansion.

The new owners decided to reopen the Japanese restaurant at a better location, and believe me when I say that the new interior design was like stepping inside an authentic Japanese restaurant in Japan. It was really sophisticated and intricate in design. Kudos to the creative and talented people behind the new interiors. I'm sure this beats the design of the former venue. The ambiance at this restaurant was too good

Of course, compliments to the chef for serving us authentic Japanese cuisine that's worth every centavo of your hard-earned money. Imagine a wonderful authentic Japanese dining experience at a very convenient place in the Metro.

Wazzup Pilipinas!

"See you soon, Philippines ♥♡♥"- @meganbata Megan Young

I'm just reposting some newsworthy announcement that I'm sure every Filipino will be excited about:

Recenly crowned Miss World of 2013 Megan Young returns to Manila on October 11, ABS-CBN reports.

Cory Quirino, director of Miss World Philippines has confirmed the news. "Parating na siya. Darating siya Thursday," she said. The 23-year-old actress and model, who has fulfilled her dream to take part and win in an international beauty contest, is the first Filipino to win the coveted crown. 

Upon her return to Metro Manila, she is expected to be welcomed with a parade around the metropolis, in the historic tradition accorded to Gemma Cruz (for winning the Miss International title in 1964) and Gloria Diaz (for winning the Miss Universe title in 1969), among other past Filipina winners in international contests. 

Megan's arrival will thus be another moment in the history, pop culture, and social life of Manila. - via RAPPLER
