Nakamura Meals - Taguig

If  I don't have money left and I need a quick grub that is serviceable, then this is the kiosk for me. I always get the breaded torikatsu with rice and for 80 pesos this is good for my belly. It is that quick cheap Japanese food that  can easily satisfy me here near the office.

"Busog ka na, Nakamura ka pa!" – I think this slogan suits the newly opened Nakamura Meals. As corny as it sounds, it really is true. The price is very affordable and reasonable for a food that tastes good and fresh. Staff are quintessentially friendly and kind. Always making sure you are happy with the food and enjoying your meal. A must try! ????☺️

In the spirit of the Japanese show "Lunch On" (go on, Google it, you know you want to ???? ) I'm gonna try to review worker's lunches, or what kiosks/food courts give the best bang for your buck. I'll try to find tasty meals that won't burn a hole in your pocket. McKinley Hill in Taguig is not the most accessible place and restaurants here tend to be on the pricey end, considering that a lot of Koreans seem to live here (well the Korean Embassy and the Korean International School is here, duh), however a lot of BPO's and tech companies have also found a home here, so what is a hapless employee on a budget do? (Especially, since taking a cab is the easiest way in and out of this joint!) Well, there's a food court tucked at the end of the overpass from the Venezia Mall to the Intellectual Property Office. One of the shops there is Nakamura Meals which offer Japanese style food. Emphasis on "style" as their food is far from authentic, but will do in a pinch. Of their menu I have already tried the Katsu Pork Curry and their Oyakodon (directly translated as "parent and child rice bowl" - grisly, right?). Both have filets that are tender enough, but have serviceable though uninspiring taste. The curry bowl is more of a breaded porkchop with curry sauce. The curry was sharp but tastes of cheap powder. The Oyakodon's egg is not silky and more like scrambled eggs on breaded chicken. Still what do you expect for a budget meal? Their donburi were filling enough and the portions weren't stingy.

Uyakudon and chili chicken are super heavy meals. This is good if you are really hungry. The price is reasonable. Their food tastes good and fresh (almost always).
