Returning Entry
Tori Ichi is a Japanese restaurant offering a wide variety of authentic Japanese yakitoris grilled with the use of Japanese Binchotan. It’s for people who are craving some grilled Japanese goodness. It’s not for those who have a disliking for Japanese food. We recommend their yakitori sets to get a diverse set of sticks to really get your fill. Our insider tip is aside from yakitori, Tori Ichi offers other authentic Japanese food like sashimi, sushi, and ramen.

Returning Entry
Elait, which came from the word “lait” (milk in French) and “elate” (to fill with joy or pride), offers artisanal rolled ice cream and yogurt. One can choose from a variety of flavors like Salted Egg, Strawberry Trifle and Bacon Brickle. It’s for those who love a good rolled ice cream and other sweets. It’s not for those who rarely have a sweet tooth. We recommend the artisanal rolled ice cream portion of their menu for a sweet ride.

Returning entry
Yabu is a homegrown Japanese concept that specializes in all things katsu. Their Kurobuta Pork set is the most popular item on the menu and comes with unlimited rice, cabbage salad and fruits. It’s for people who want a piece of the best katsu. It’s not for those who want to venture to other kinds of Japanese food. We recommend their Kurobuta Katsu Sets for the full experience, choose between 80g and 120g.

4. Burgoo – SM Mall of Asia
374 Favorites
Last month’s #3
Founded in 1999, Burgoo is a casual dining restaurant that specializes in American cuisine serving comfort food favorites like ribs, wings, pastas and shakes. Fun fact: The name ‘Burgoo’ refers to a spicy stew dish from Kentucky that is often served with cornbread or corn muffins. It’s for big groups, serving sizes are for sharing. It’s not for people watching their calorie intake. We recommend their shrimp and ribs platter, Pasta Diane, Seafood Jambalaya and famous Mississippi Mudpie. Our insider tip: Despite being an American bar, Burgoo is actually kid friendly. Crayons are provided to keep everyone busy and creative while waiting for their orders. Read our full feature here.
