A few weeks ago, I was invited by Yummy Team (Yummy Magazine and
Yummy.ph) for the
Trinoma Food Crawl. We were to sample 2 dishes from 5 restaurants located at each floor of
Trinoma Mall.
First Stop: Ginza Bairin (
Facebook Fan Page)
Our first stop started at the ground level for
Trinoma Garden with
Ginza Bairin. Before we sample at every restaurant, we were given a short introduction. I got to learn that they don't do the sesame crushing in
Japan where
Ginza Bairin originated.

| Special Katsudon Set (395 php) |
We were served two sets. The first one is the classic
Special Katsudon Set which I've tried during my visit at Ginza Bairin at UP Town Center.
 |
| Rosu Katsu Curry Set (375 php) |
I've tried and liked the
Menchi Katsu with Curry Cheese Set before. But, this simple and traditional
Rosu Katsu Curry Set is better if you want to appreciate katsu for what it is...
from the perfect crunchy breading to the lean Rosu meat with mallow softness. You can choose your curry sauce to be mild or spicy. If you want to play it safe, choose the spicy because they have chili powder on the table anyway.

| Black Sesame Ice Cream and Green Tea Ice Cream |
For dessert, we had their
Black Sesame Ice Cream and
Green Tea Ice Cream. I really can't choose between the two as both are very delicious!
Second Stop: Hanamaruken Ramen (
Facebook Fan Page)
 |
| Our Host DJ Suzy of 89.9 |
Hanamaruken Ramen is a franchise from
Osaka Japan. This can only be found at the second floor of
Trinoma Gardens.
I've been wanting to revisit
Hanamuraken Ramen to try more of their offerings so I'm so glad that my wish was granted. (Read about
my first visit to Hanamaruken Ramen here)

| Signature Happiness Ramen (480 php) |
Of course, the
Signature Happiness Ramen is a must-order in every visit!
 |
| Drunk Man Rice Bowl (240 php) |
It's my first time to try the
Drunk Man Rice Bowl. It's a rice bowl topped with kakuni or fatty pork cubes, double fried eggs, red chili and green onions. It was a glorious bowlful of flavorful fats that is mashed well with the fieriness of the red chillis.
 |
| Iced Green Tea (80 php) |
The
Iced Green Tea is a refreshing, light and fragrant (not flowery) drink which excellently resets the palette. I'll definitely order this on every visit from now on.
Third Stop: Mango Tree Bistro (
Facebook Fan Page)
Mango Tree Bistro is more casual and affordable than the
Mango Tree I've tried at
BHS Central but their Thai dishes are also as authentic. It is conveniently found on the third floor of
Trinoma Mall.

| Gai Tha Krai Yang (330 php) |
 |
| Grapow Moo (380 php) |
The serving is great and the food is affordable.
Fourth Stop: Wee Nam Kee (
Facebook Fan Page)
I actually just found out that there's a
Wee Nam Kee on the fourth floor of
Trinoma Mall.
 |
| Hainanese Chicken Curry Sharing (368 php) |
I've loved the
Hainanese Chicken Curry the first time. It's so good that I don't think that my sentiments for it will ever waver.
 |
| Salted Egg Chinese Style Fried Chicken (295 php) |
The
Salted Egg Chinese Style Fried Chicken is another dish I'd want to have as much as I can. it so comforting and satisfying to munch on.
Final Stop: Pearl River Cafe (
Facebook Fan Page)
Located on the outdoor area of the fifth floor of
Trinoma Mall is
Pearl River Cafe. It's my first time to try it so I'm quite estatic. It serves authentic Chinese cuisine.
 |
| Steamed Crab Roe and Shrimp Shaomai (99 php) |
We tried a couple of their specially made dimsum.
 |
| Steamed Bun with Custard Paste and Salted Egg (65 php) |
I'm quite impress with the quality and even more thrilled that they are offered at an affordable pricing.
So that concludes our Trinoma Food Crawl. But, believe me there are so many more I have yet to try there like
Katsu Sora for one.
