Cycle 5 – Item 347
18 (Thu) December 2014
Japanese-Style Corn Soup
2.5
at Tao Yuan
-Malate, Manila, Metro Manila, Philippines-
with Korean colleagues and families
TEITY (see Try Every Item at Tao Yuan) (Visit 31) (Items 176-177). Eating my way through the restaurant’s entire menu: all 222 items.
Tried 2 new items tonight, bringing the total to 177 items tasted thus far, 45 items remaining, averaging 5.7 items per visit, on pace to finish at TEITY 39.
The previous group dinner at Tao Yuan had resulted somewhat in disappointment, at least as far as I was concerned. At the time, I attributed the less-than-favorable outcome to various confounding factors, such as the large number (22) of guests, budgetary concerns, and divergent preferences.
Tonight’s beta gathering turned out far better with a smaller group (6+2 kids**) of like-minded Korean colleague who didn’t mind paying a bit more for good stuff.
