We Filipinos are western, and we're oriental too. We just love food! I am one of the guilty here :)

When we eat foreign cuisines, as much as possible we want to have it as authentic as possible as like we are travelled by its taste. I am a lover of Japanese food and recently I found one of the most authentic Japanese (from I've visited) resto here in Metro Manila.

From the store's outside look, you'll be encouraged to eat here if you're a Japanese food lover because it makes you feel you are in the streets of Japan. You'll be even more amazed to see how they made it to look authentic Japanese place inside.

I even loved Unakichi more when I finally tasted some of their menus. I love Japanese foods but not really good into food names. But I believe me and my blogger friends ordered this "Unakichi's set meals," this is Unakichi's set meals. We preferred having Unaju Jo Set since it's already  in set meal it is more sulit and cheaper than having these dishes individually.

We ordered different Unakichi's Set Meals:

UnaJo Jo Set (Grilled eet)

Tempura Set (2 Prawns with Vegetables)

Tori Karagae Set (Fried Chicken with Yurinchi Sauce)

Some of us, if not all, may have seen or heard this news of free cakes to be given free if Rody Duterte wins for president. He did, so what now? this is the big question for everyone who knew the announcement. 

I was one of the many netizens who knew this declaration and I'm one of the ones who's hoping to have a free cake!

And just recently, I got an invite from Quims Bakeshop for a review and I confirmed that yes, they are giving away free cakes and they are staying true to their promise.

When I went there, in fact it's their first day of giving away cakes, it's a slice though but still cake is cake! and I appreciate that they made effort to push their made promise, contrary to saying that "Promises are made to be broken."

The first claimant of the free cake was all the way from Parañaque, and when asked what made him still be interested to claim a slice of cake even he is that far from Quims cake? he answered he just really wanted to prove if Quims Bakeshop is keeping their promise. Chef Jack Labang who made the announcement of free cakes, personally handed the free cake to the first claimant. Since Quim's cake promised to give 5m worth of free cakes, it distribution may take to 5 years. The cakes will be given away every 1st and 15th of every month (until they reach the P5 million target) to the first 50 customers who register via email (quimscake@yahoo.com) or visit their facebook page https://www.facebook.com/quimscakebakeshopcafe for more information.

Apart from cakes, Quim's Bakeshop has many more to offer. I've tasted some of their menu during my visit there, like their Bolognese Pasta, Red Hot Dory Burger, Pulled Pork BBQ Burger, Roasted Pork Belly and and I must say they really have good tasting food. They have pastas, burgers, sand wiches, pizzeta, all day breakfast and main courses. Aside from cakes for desserts they have Ice quims (Ice creams), cookies and even doughnuts! So definitely they have all of what you can crave for!
