Mr. Kurosawa: New in Menu
March 18th, 2012 — Beverage, Casual, Cravings, Cuisine, Dessert, European, Japanese, New Brews, Newport City, Newport Mall, Pasay, Resorts World Compound, Restaurants, Spanish, Where To Eat
Chef Christine Nicole Nicolas
Albeit Mr.Kurosawa Restaurant has been around for more than three years now (Eastwood branch), this was the first time I was able to try it in their Newport Mall, Resorts World Manila branch, which is on their second year of operations.
The Euro-Japanese mix concept is new to me as well. The owners described it as “Japanese cuisine with a touch of European flair” headed by corporate Chef Christine Nicole Nicolas, Chef Benjamin Gonzales, and Chef Florabel Co-Yatco.
French-Japanese items like tempura or gyoza souflaits, steaks and fine wines; Greek-Japanese items like Japanese kebabs and salads; Spanish-Japanese items like the japaella; and Italian-Japanese items such as pastas and pizza, are among some of the interesting fusion cuisines. This is complemented with traditional Japanese favourites such as kobe, teriyaki, tempura, donburi, sushi and sashimi.
New Offerings
Their new offerings include chicken, katsu dishes, and milk teas. They are the following:
Tongkatsu (Breaded deep-fried pork cutlet)
Fish Katsu (P268)
and Shrimp Katsu (top photo)
There are also Salmon Katsu (P448) and Torikatsu (P288) which I was not able to try. Regular iced tea are at about P70; add P30 for the large size.
Highly Recommended
Highly recommended are the 4pc. Chicken Wings called Last Samurai (P298) and Ebi Katsu (P398).

Ebi Tempura
Needs Improvement
On the other hand, thier range of milk teas need perking up. I found the Strawberry Yakult Milk Tea (Sakura) and Matcha Milk Tea (Yojimbo) ordinary.
I have yet to try the Winter Melon Milk Tea (Sanjuru).
Here are some more shots from their menu:

Mooncake Festival at Resorts World Manila
September 22nd, 2010 — Affairs, Cravings, Dessert, Hotels, Maxims Hotel, Newport City, Pasay, Promos / Events, Resorts World Compound, Restaurants, Where To Eat
Coming from a Chinese family myself, the traditional mid-autumn celebration of Chinese Mooncake Festival is celebrated in at least some way or the other. In previous years, we did play the traditional Mooncake dice game with prizes among family members.
Chinese Mooncake Festival
Although, we won’t be having one this year, it is comforting to know that the Mooncake tradition is still alive in most Chinese communities.
“With a delicious tradition rich in history, the festival is strongly associated with the Moon Goddess of Immortality. It also represents the time of the year when the moon is at its fullest and marks the end of the harvest. It is traditionally celebrated with dances, moon viewing parties, and of course, partaking of mooncakes.“
Like in Resorts World Manila (RWM) in Newport (Pasay City), the next three days’ celebrations focuse on the Chinese culture surrounding the Mooncake Festival. They have actually started these since last month with the Mooncake redemption promo. Casino slot machine players may use points earned from August 22 to September 24 to take home up to three mooncakes a day. 200 Mooncakes are available for redemption throughout the promo period.
