OCTOBOY Food Express

To satisfy our TAKOYAKI cravings, we headed to Octoboy's and got ourselves 2 orders of TAKOYAKIs and ordered a Japanese Pizza (a.k.a. OKONOMIYAKI) too!

While waiting, Sofia gamely poses for the camera :)


The chef told us that the TAKOYAKIs and OKONOMIYAKI were best eaten right after it's served.
But the dining area was small plus we brought Sofia along so we decided to just bring the food home.


Anyway, it was very entertaining to see how our food was being cooked.
The chef and his assistant were wearing plastic gloves for hygienic purposes, which we truly appreciated.


And then.. our food is ready..

TAKOYAKI
SHRIMP - Php 100 per 6 pieces
Yes, it may be a little bit pricey for a takoyaki, but for someone craving like me, it's worth it!
We just hope they also offer serving it in smaller portions - 3 pcs or 4 pcs.


OKONOMIYAKI
SQUID - Php 230
The Okonomiyaki was just like the takoyaki made BIGGER and stuffed with BACON.
For us, the bacon was overpowering. It would also be better if it's a little bit spicy :p



One comment on the packaging of the okonomiyaki - surely, a box will be best for this to prevent spillage and being mashed.

After Dinner Snack at NOMNOMNOM

Okay, so we were looking for a dessert place and we thought NOMNOMNOM was one.

To our surprise, it was NOT! hihihi

Anyway, since we're already there, we decided to try their bestsellers.

First, we ordered FOURPLAY.

FOURPLAY - Pita Chips served with Salsa, Hommus, Mottabal and roasted Garlic (Php 120)

hmmm... not bad!

i liked their homemade SALSA. It goes really well with the chips.

oh! and the garlic was gooooooooooooood!

The ambience was quite nice too :)

It's a good tambayan for friends like us.

Next food: FRIED RAVIOLI

FRIED RAVIOLI - Crispy fried pasta pockets stuffed with spinach and mushrooms

6 pcs - Php 80

12 pcs - Php 150

Of course, we ordered the dozen! hihihihi
Our verdict? Nothing spectacular but it was okay :)

If we didn't order the Fourplay, we could've appreciated this one more.

(There was suya factor with the sauces)

For drinks, my friends ordered Apple Slushie  (Php 50) and Cranberry Slushie (Php 50).

Note: these are not fruit shakes; rather,  these are juices mixed with crushed ice :)

Very refreshing and filling :p

We also ordered a pizza log, specifically their Malinomnom.

hmmm.... the server seemed to have forgotten about it...

still waiting...

still waiting...

Time to follow up on our order....

Yep! the server did forget!

Did I mention that we were the only customers inside?

and yet, this happened... so sad :(

Anyway, good thing we were all in  a good mood so we waited some more for the pizza to come :)

Yey! Finally, it has arrivied!

MALINOMNOM - Tinapa, Kesong Puti, Red Egg, Onions (Php 195)

The mix of ingredients were delicious but it would've have been yummier if only the crust was thinner and crispier :)
