Something Korean + Japanese in Doha, Qatar - LITTLE YEE HWA RESTAURANT

Hey there little sister of Yee Hwa Restaurant ! I have been seeing constantly this restaurant across social media from Instagram to Facebook and it tickled my curiosity.  Why is this restaurant utterly famous among Filipinos? Maybe because the cuisine is Korean? In fact, Filipinos have been into the Korean craze (South Korea in exact) for quite some time now and this restaurant might be the quick fix to those cravings for Korean foods!.  Thanks to K-Pop and K-dramas as these have propelled us to get hooked on their interestingly sumptuous dishes! This restaurant located along the food strip in Al Jazeera Street, Fereej Bin Mahmoud, Doha, Qatar is called LITTLE YEE HWA .  They added the word "little" since this restaurant is the sibling of the forerunning restaurant  Yee Hwa Restaurant which is located in Al Nasr, Doha, Qatar. This is a fusion restaurant.  An intermingling of Korean and Japanese cuisines, in general.  Though I have se...

What / Where I Ate in Cebu City, Philippines - SHABU-WAY HOT POT CUISINE

Shabu-Way Hot Pot Cuisine is a fusion restaurant - a mix of  Korean, Japanese, Asian dishes in one dining place. I'll be giving a bit info here on the two concepts that this restaurant offers, via wikipedia: What is SHABU-SHABU ? Where it originated? Shabu-shabu   (also spelled  syabu-syabu )  is a Japanese  nabemono   hotpot  dish of thinly sliced meat and vegetables boiled in water. [1]  The term is  onomatopoeia , derived from the sound emitted when the ingredients are stirred in the cooking pot and served with dipping sauces. [ citation needed ]  The food is cooked piece by piece by the diner at the table. Shabu-shabu is considered to be more  savory  and less  sweet  than  sukiyaki . Shabu-Shabu   was introduced in Japan in the 20th century   with the opening of the restaurant "Suehiro" [2]   in   Osaka , where the name was invented. Its origins are traced back to the ...

Something Korean in Cebu City, Philippines - MR. PIZZA

Pizza is originally Italian, right? But, did you know that Koreans are also known for making Pizza but with odd topping combinations! See this blog HERE , to read on their experience with the pizzas at Mr. Pizza in South Korea. Mr. PIZZA is best known for their all-time popular gourmet pizza.  They have been making hand-made pizza full-heartedly from start to finish... you can actually see these statements on their menu, second page.   From the array of new PIZZA combinations to choose from, we ended up ordering for MACHO GRANDE (pictured above) and VEGETARIAN (see below). We ordered pasta too, the OVEN BAKED MEAT SPAGHETTI and POTATO WEDGES to munch in while waiting for the stars of the merienda (snacks) time, the pizza and the BINGSU! Heard of BINGSU?  Have you eaten one? BINGSU is popular Korean shaved ice dessert toppings that may include chopped fruit, condensed milk and fruit syrup, Without the red beans.  If it comes w...

Something Korean in Cebu City, Philippines - TOPOKKI MAN

By far this is my most favored Korean diner in Cebu City, Philippines.   It was dinner time when we visited their place, for the very first time, located in  Rosedale Suites, Gov. M. Cuenco Avenue,  Talamban , Cebu City.  Say hello to TOPOKKI MAN ! My previous officemates introduced me to this Korean eatery and through their delivery services only.  After more than six times of ordering from them and have the foods delivered at our office, I decided to pay visit and experience what it's like to eat my favorite quick-bite foods at their diner. This vanity mirror / decorated wall was behind the seat of my choice.  I selected this corner because I find it girlish and cute. Above is the one-snap look of the main courses / appetizers that we ordered.  Looking at this now, I am craving and drooling over these yummy goodies! Spicy Bibimbob + Kimchi (Korean's staple side dish!) I rarely ordered for Bibimbob since I am m...
