Red Kimono at Abreeza

This is the first time, and probably not the last, that I'd be writing about a resto and not post photos of the food I ate. My excuse? We had to struggle with parking for about 30 minutes. It had been over 7 hours since my last meal and, as you now would be able to guess, I was so so so hungry that picking up chopsticks instead of spoon and fork was all I could do to prevent myself from engaging in a total pig out.

So, Red Kimono, yes...here are some borrowed shots from their Facebook Page..

It's one of the latest additions to Davao's array of Japanese restaurants. Like many food shops in Abreeza, this one is also originally from Manila.

During that hungry Sunday night, we ordered Ebi Tempura meal, Katusdon, Chicken Teriyaki, Curry Chicken, Miso soup, and Tofu. We were 5 in the group and the bill summed up to about 1,200Php.

The Ebi Tempura meal had 4 pieces of breaded prawns, really big ones! It also had rice and rich, japanese sauce and veggies. Plus, 3 balls of chocolate sumthings, which reminds me of munchkins. What a huge meal it was! The katsudon was in an enormous serving, too. Katsudons are always heavenly for me and this isn't an exception. It cost around 200 pesos, which might have made it less heavenly, but the taste was really good and well worth it. The curry chicken was what I ordered. It was breaded, boneless chicken with rice and curry sauce that is served separately. It was okay for me, not as heavenly as the katsudon and the teriyaki chicken. The teriyaki chicken! I could easily say it was my favorite among all of our orders. It was served in one of those modern Japanese restaurants' rectangle plates that had compartments(the ebi tempura meal was in a similar presentation). Other restaurants have them too sweet, some serve them too salty. This was somewhere in between and the chicken was really tender. Chicken Teriyaki - Red Kimono nailed it! I didn't get a chance to taste the Miso soup and tofu. But judging from my 3-year old nephew's reaction, I think they were both as yummy as they could be. He didn't leave any for me to taste. Lol!

So that was my Red Kimono experience. You may find them at the ground floor of the Abreeza Mall of Davao somewhere after Starbucks (outside area).
