The Extraordinary Japanese Restaurant

I've always wanted to eat at John & Yoko's since Teacher Mariel told me about its unique iced tea. I heard that it's one of our student's favorite drinks. That's why last Saturday, Margaret and I went to John & Yoko's at Alabang Town Center.

Whenever we eat out, we don't settle for what's "nakasanayan na". John & Yoko's is not your ordinary Japanese restaurant. Upon entering the place, you'll never fail to notice the modern interiors. I absolutely love the chairs that have animal prints on it. The walls on the right side have very interesting decorations and the shelves are filled with John and Yoko's framed photos and books. The walls on the left side, on the other hand, show clips of John and Yoko, using the LCD projector. It also has a mini-bar where you can see some of your favorite Japanese food are displayed. By the way, the restaurant looked empty because they're about to close when I took a photo of it. :p

 Ahh, this is the iced tea. It comes in different colors: blue, red, and green. Margaret and I ordered the blue one. It's good!

Margaret looking happy and pretty...
while I looked... hungry and uhm, nevermind. :p
 The meal wouldn't be complete without California rolls. This is my favorite Japanese food (aside from teriyaki) that's why I ordered it. John & Yoko's California rolls are very tasty. This is an exception to the rule of "don't order what's nakasanayan na". Hihi.



Margaret ordered bacon/beef enoki. It looks like a "meat lumpia". For meat lovers, I highly recommend this. :)


This is Japanese carbonara. The way to my heart is through pasta. :)) Kidding aside, I got curious with it so I ordered this one. Unlike the carbonara that we're all familiar with, this has shrimp powders, seaweeds, and shrimp. However, I gave the shrimp to Margaret because my allergies decided to appear on that day. Japanese carbonara, it's a must-try!



We left John & Yoko's with happy tummies. Next time, I'd try the chicken teriyaki and mango pizza. Sounds interesting, right? And I hope that when we go back, my allergies won't have a special appearance again. :)
