Classic Beef Wellington

The Moody Critic'ss beef odyssey finally concluded when he tried Lulu Restaurant'ss Classic Beef Wellington. Read the review to learn more about it!

Cookie Dough Cheesecake

A certain Sesame Street Muppet would definitely devour this treat in an instant! Can Chelsea Kitchen's Cookie Dough Cheesecake dunk its way to the Moody Critic's heart or will it twist into oblivion just the way the cookie crumbles?

French Toast with Ice Cream

The Moody Critic needed the powers of prime numbers when he recently tried Xin Wang Hong Kong Cafe's French Toast with Ice Cream. If 2³ = 8 , 3³ = 27 , what is 1331? Please answer this within a minute or you're toast!

Slice's Red Velvet Cheesecake

A great cake, like a great empire, easily crumbles at its edges. Will Slice's Red Velvet Cheesecake successfully penetrate the Moody Critic's gustatory cells? This daunting task is not a piece of cake.

Dark Cherry Truffle Cake

I think that I shall never see, a chocolate-coated cherry delicacy. A critic whose hungry mouth is prest, against the sweet cake's frosting with zest. A sting from a bee can make you sob in melancholy, can Coffee Bean's Dark Cherry Truffle Cake make you jump with glee?

YUMI Japanese Restaurant

By: The Vain Critic


It was our first time at Century Mall in Makati so my brother and I were excited to try new restaurants. We were in the mood for Japanese food that relaxing afternoon and at last we found the right place to satisfy our craving.

Smoked Salmon Sushi

Yumi -- a Japanese Cuisine restaurant situated at the rear side of the mall which showcased Makati's beautiful skyline caught our attention. The place itself boasts coziness with an elegant simplicity. This ambiance gave us that modern but authentic Japanese feel. We initially sat at the counter but eventually transferred to avoid inhaling all the smoke from all the grilling.

Tori Chiisu Maki

The menu presentation were all on point and food varieties though quite pricy were very tempting to try out especially the sushi. At that point, we were oblivious that my brother left his cellphone at our first table. Fortunately, it was returned by this kind and honest waiter. They served us complimentary rice tea and an appetizer while we wait for our orders. Our dishes were served in a timely manner from the appetizer up to the entrees; perfectly garnished and oozing with appeal and flavor. But what stood out among the rest of the dishes was the Tori Chiisu Maki which tingled the fifth sense in our palates with its cheesy goodness; definitely a "must try"!

In summary, this restaurant did not disappoint me. Satisfactory food matched with affordable price plus an excellent service seems to good to be true huh? I will definitely come back for more with the rest of my family.
