It seems that the Japanese know how to put a distinct imprint on Western food--from pasta to pizza to burgers, I've seen a lot of Eastern variations that have enhanced the flavor and consistency of the aforesaid dishes. Monique and I had merienda in Kido Manga at Robinson's Place Ermita, and we quickly learned that this was the fast food brand of the Karate Kid franchise.
We had a croquette and a burger, which came out after a reasonable wait under 10 minutes. By itself, the burger was delicious, although the bacon croquette was a bit dry. I was wondering however, why the brand was named Kido Manga? I had expected the name to target kids that were addicted to Japanese manga (serialized comics), but there were no manga characters to visualize. Maybe the name means something else? Also, the only original Japanese items on the menu were the takoyaki balls (made from octopus or squid); sorry, but I didn't find a unique Japanese taste with the burger and the croquette--it was pretty much a regular burger and a regular croquette.
Meal spend would come to around P100 to P250 per head, depending on which snack you order. They also have some shakes, but we we cautious about spoiling our dinner appetite that we decided not to have drinks with our meal.
