Island Grill Express is a Cebuano - Ilonggo friendly restaurant that started in 1994 at SM food court and also opened at Ayala Mall. The first restaurant to bring in the carenderia dining experience, but to a higher level. Island Grill Express is now also open for franchising and for the next two (2) years they will hopefully open five (5) more branches.

They started with Ilonggo delicacies and partnered before with Ilonggo Grill. One thing that I like most that captured my taste buds was the Lapaz batchoy. So from La Paz Ilo-Ilo straight to Cebu Ingredients of what La Paz batchoy is now available and can be tasted by Cebuanos.

Red Kimono


Retaurant:                  Red Kimono

Cuisine:                      Japanese



I don’t have any plans of dining.  Ambling and window-shopping to nowhere at Ayala Mall.  I decided to buy my favorite magazine at Fully Booked when I found out that May Issue for my favorite monthly mag was delayed till I landed at Red Kimono.

Red Kimono’s concept was a modern and at the same time bringing the elements of the traditional Japanese cuisine. Red kimono operates seven (7) branches in the metropolis and beyond. The place was totally awesome with deep-red painted walls and added by warm cozy lights that make the place more elegant. Most dinners are tourists.  Service crews are very friendly and neat looking.  If you ask questions they politely answers.  

Upon handling the menu frankly speaking I don’t know what to order. Well, I’m a Filipino and suddenly sat to this very fine Japanese restaurant.  Browsing and choosing what to order was so hard by looking at their delicious looking pictures.  There this one dish that caught my attention named after the famous youtube dance craze hit “Gwiyomi”.  The dish was Kiyomi Maki it was lined or classified with vegetarian maki’s  (Yes, I am a vegetarian on that day alone.) the taste was totally awesome.   Kiyomi Maki is a delicious vegetarian treat with mango, banana, takwan, asparagus, cucumber and spring onions. It’s guilt free and it’s good for your heart!



Lastly, for the dessert I asked the captain waiter on what to order.  He say’s try our new Layered Sesame Ice Cream. I said okay, I want that.  Layered Sesame Ice Cream was consisting of three (3) scoops of creamy sesame ice cream sandwiched in a crispy oriental wafer accented with Japanese beans.  The taste was really mouth watering and it’s highly recommended!
