Kurobuta Pork Set

3.25

at Yabu

(Robinsons Place)

-Ermita, Manila-

solo

The tonkatsu (see my recipe 4.129 Tonkatsu) was quite good.  Thick cutlet, perfectly cooked, supremely tender.  Light and crispy panko breading.  About as good as could be.

By a rough estimation, Yabu is the 200th restaurant where I’ve eaten in the combined neighborhood of Ermita and Malate, mostly clustered within a 2-km square — 89th in Robinsons Place alone (see generally 5.247 Original Recipe Fried Chicken…) — all within the past 2 years.  Jeez.
