Katsu Cafe with Aleron

After the wedding, Aleron decided to eat at Katsu Cafe for late lunch/early dinner. Rumor has it, Katsu Cafe's Katsudon is close to Yabu's. This piqued my interest, hence I ordered the Katsudon Set, which was only PhP 195.00, easily a third of how much this would normally cost in Yabu. 

Like in most katsudon-specializing restaurants, you had to grind for your own katsudon sauce. They also had those small sauce containers with the little grooves to make grinding easier.

The Katsudon Set came with Miso Soup:

And unlimited Japanese rice. Very delicious Japanese rice! It costs PhP 60.00 normally if you purchase the unlimited rice ala carte. Unfortunately for some of the choir members, like Arkel Mendoza, he ordered a donburi which didn't come with unlimited rice. Naturally, we begged the butihing ate to allow us to give a bowl of their yummy rice to him, since not all who ordered the sets were able to get 2nd bowls of rice.

Kenneth Lee and I decided to split an order of Ebi Furai, ala carte.

And Ryan Garcia was so generous in treating everyone to a round of Asahi, which is the perfect pair to their Katsu! Thank you Ryan!

Katsu is an affordable alternative to Yabu. I guess the price of the katsudon doesn't necessarily mean that it's good, Katsu Cafe's offering is proof that even for a fraction of the cost, the taste, and quality of the meat shouldn't suffer. Plus, tucked away in this side of the metro, you don't have to brave the horrendous human traffic of Megamall or a mall, just to be able to get a good katsudon meal. If ever you do get to chance upon this restaurant in the Katipunan area, feel free to stop by and order their katsudon because it is very filling indeed.
