Myron’s in Power Plant – very good steak; Le Royale from Manila Diamond Hotel

Just want to share pictures of our orders in Myron’s at the food court of Power Plant. Pity we forgot to take a picture of the pretty caesar’s salad where Romaine lettuce leaves were arranged like a fan, each leaf topped with dressing, lots of parmesan cheese and a few slivers of bacon.

Following though are photos of the wagyu beef ribs an the paolo’s rib eye steak. The former came with garlic rice, the latter with mashed potato. Sidings were similar: a slice of carrot, a slice of squash, several asparagus stems, zucchini. Both were very good.

After Myron’s we thought of buying ensaimada from Diamond Hotel’s outlet in Power Plant and saw some inviting cakes displayed. So my husband and I ordered Le Royale (sorry I forgot to take a picture) that was basically a dark chocolate mousse with crispy hazelnut crust and almond meringue. It was sinfully delicious. One slice which we shared cost P180 net. we had water to go with it and eavesdropping besides.

Addendum: On a later date, we ordered Le Royale so here is how it looks:

Omakase 3

Tonight was the third time we ate in Omakase in a span of 3 months, not counting the time I ordered sushi take-home. And tonight was special in the sense that using my new camera, we took pictures of the entrees we ordered except for one main entree, the tonkatsu. It looked pale, not golden brown, and therefore uninteresting. Following are the entrees we ordered. Before you start thinking what gluttons we are, take note that we took home a portion of each except for the soup which my husband finished. I don’t know the Japanese names of the food we ordered but I’ll describe them as best I can.

 

The soup: it was called the omakase soup. It contained crab sticks, sea weed and what looked like beaten egg strips cooked in the broth, a clear broth.

Sushis: we ordered 3 kinds, namely, American Dream, the cheesy beef sushi and hold your breath, Rising Sun. American dream I think I described way back: cooked salmon with cream cheese inside vinegared rice fried with batter like tempura. Cheesy beef was breaded. It was beef with cheddar cheese stuffing — my son’s favorite. Now Rising Sun has a mixture of tuna and salmon sashimi and avocado and cucumber.

Dip for the sushis – a mixture of Japanese mayo and Kikkoman

Cheesy Beef Sushi

Sashimi: we ordered salmon. It was nicely arranged in a white porcelain plate shaped like a fan.

Rice: we ordered garlic rice. Yummy.

Main dishes: squid teppanyaki and tonkatsu. The tonkatsu I described earlier, the squid teppanyaki was nice and tender. The taste was okay, like most teppan food. The teppan was served with vegetables – generally togue, cabbage and carrots. Following is a picture of the squid teppan.

Dessert: Fried tempura ice cream. Actually this is vanilla ice creamed cooked in tempura batter. With this in a bowl are slices or cubes of mango (depends on which chef prepares it). Chocolate syrup is poured atop the mound which is, in turn, topped by half a cherry with a stem, if the chef remembers. We ordered two for the three of us, one after the other. The second order didn’t have cherry. Did they run out or did the chef forget? We didn’t bother to ask as all the servers were so nice, so why antagonize them?
