John & Yoko



Our visit to Greenbelt 5 took up more time than we expected, so Vicky and I decided to have dinner at John and Yoko, a restaurant reportedly owned by the celebrity actor Marvin Agustin.  The concept is understandably East meets West, after the fabled love story of John Lennon and Yoko Ono.  The restaurant pays homage to Japanese pop culture; I had fun watching a video of "The Samurai" which was playing in one of the side walls.  The menu card was a bit difficult to read though--smashing collection of colors and fonts, mixed in with food pics.


We had seafood ramen and tempura udon, which came in large bowls.  I asked that the tempura be served separately from the udon so as not to make it soggy.  The flavors were quite rich and the broth was aromatic.  We spent something like P350 per head with the light dinner, but if you will be taking on a full meal, allot something like P700 per head for budget purposes.
