TONG YANG SHABU-SHABU & BARBECUE RESTAURANT: EAT and Burp to Satisfaction

2:59:00 PM

I am now into a so called "slight disturbances" in life. Thank God, I have a brother who is willing to listen and accompany me in some of my struggles.

Yesterday, we had to go out to do some personal errands and I was seriously not feeling okay... I guess my brother just felt the sadness for me--then he just asked me "ATE, KAIN TAYO NG SHABU-SHABU." I thought we will just go to the foodcourt of SM Megamall because I know, there is a shabu-shabu stall there where I used to buy my favorite siomai and shawarma. In my surprise, I just became clueless where are we going at...? Oh! so we spinned at Tong Yang Restaurant.

My eyes become "360 degrees in circumference"! and ran straight at the counter to check out how much the price is. Whoah! its P585.00 per head! Well, that I think is much cheaper than the other Eat-All-You Can restaurant that I know...

Tong Yang is an EAT & DRINK ALL YOU CAN restaurant. You can enjoy a wide range of almost 100 kinds of food--that includes tons of beef, pork, chicken, fish, crabs, squids, shirmps, vegetables, rice, noodles, eggs, mushrooms, dimsums and many more! Refresh yourself with Tong Yang's array of drink dispensers/vendos that contain juices like: mango, pineapple, strawberry, grapes, four seasons and decaf coffee. Tong Yang has a great choices for decadent selections of desserts. They offer fresh fruits, Halo Halo (a Filipino dessert favorite) & various flavour of ice creams! For the "beer big men" the restaurant offers its customers Drink All You Can San Miguel Draft beer which also includes in the P585 package.

Go vegie if you want less calories on your plate!

I so love dimsum balls!

I marked this area in my mind and said to myself " You have to grab some of these cold stuff! DO NOT FORGET."

Four flavours of ice cream: Vanilla, Melon, Strawberry and Cheese by Big Scoop brand

The dining area can accommodate a hundred number of diners (that I guess) and you can feel the Chinese culture inside the restaurant as most of the customers are Chinese and half Chi-Noys. And its a funny thing though, I just observed and proved that Filipinos are certified food lovers because we eat a lot than the chinese people who just get and eat few.

Beware of this signage OKAY!

And so the gluttony starts....

We were asked what kind of soup we wanted. You can choose from Chicken, Spicy Sate, Sinigang soup. My brother and I chose Sinigang and Spicy Sate. The waiter will then fill up the metal bowl with the soup, the heat is adjustable to your liking and the knob is on the sides of the table. We were also served with butter, for greasing up the grill.

I got some meat and seafoods here. I also got assorted barbecues, hotdogs, crab sticks, squid, scallops, squid balls, vegetables, dimsum and kimchi.

While my brother got these light fish fillets fried with the restaurant's flavourful butter.

To add spice on what we were eating, I created this barbecue dip sauce by mixing soy sauce, yaki niku sauce, some garlic and onions finished it with squeezed calamansi juice. And, OH EGGS! I REALLY LOVE EGGS!!!

Round 2! Mushrooms,oyster meat, more fish fillets.

Round 3! I helped my brother on his turn of seafood feast. I ate squid, shrimps, mushrooms and a few veggies though. He ate clams, oysters and the remaining barbeques. We didn't dare to try crab anymore because they have a "no leftovers" policy and my brother didn't want to pay for an extra Php 500.00 for unfinished food.

Just to follow my alcoholic pleasure, I approched the vendo beer machine for this mug of sparkling San Miguel draft.

And to topped all what we have eaten, me and my bro, shared on this cup of ice cream that I prepared. I put chocolate nuggets and nips choco bites (its my bad that I wasn't able to sprinkle the chocolates on the top of the ice cream... I forgot that it should be the other way around!)

After that major pigging out, my brother and I were almost full and I knew I wanted to have something to drink to take away the "umay and busog" factor after all the seafood I've consumed and cleanse my tongue. Due to excessive eating, I felt that my stomach will explode at any moment so I had a cup of this hot decaf coffee...

I AM SO TIRED OF EATING!!! I COULD NOT EVEN BREATHE...

Since we were both satisfied with the food that we ate and the service being rendered to us, I decided to give a 100 bucks of tip to the waiters who attended to us. I will definitely come back soon. Two thumbs-up!!!

ABOUT THIS BLOG

I am curious. I travel. I am soul searching. Curious Tootling Soul, 3 words referring to me. In our everyday lives, we wander, and we ask questions. Yes, and sometimes it is hard to explain to someone who doesn’t quite see the world how you do— the way you do. Life to many can just be sectionalized and put into little boxes. A box for your true self; a box for your sociable self; a box for your fancies: your wants, your desires. Looking at your bucket list—list, highlight, and check. For some though life isn’t quite so simple. Some of us don’t know exactly what we want to do next or where we want to go, we just know there is so much out there we want to experience. We visit and travel new places often without knowing exactly what for, just that we know in our soul we need to. Mundane, humdrum existence and material things don’t impress us. We are in search for answers, for fulfillment and gratification. We need to be surrounded by love and warmth, growth and good. We know there is nothing better than a genuine laugh or a heartfelt hug. We are moved by the storytellers, the dreamers, the drifters, the people whose lives are different than ours, that we can learn from. We are drawn to new surroundings and unique experiences. As we fall in love with so many things around us, sometimes it is hard to keep track. We love and we continuously holding on for that love. We love different. We love doing things that terrify us because we know those are the moments that we grow. We love looking back and seeing that we have accomplished what we never thought we could, things we never thought were even a possibility. Because it is in those moments we know we are becoming the people we were always intended to be. We leap before we look sometimes. It is finding ourselves when we didn’t know we were lost and continuing to find ourselves over and over again. It is kissing a cute stranger under the stars, waving at a baby we pass on the street, helping someone who cannot repay us. It is jotting down a funny memory or a beautiful quote we can’t forget. It is finding out what makes us smile the biggest, what our passions are, what makes our eyes light up just by talking about it. (an excerpt from A. Twigg, 2015) I fall, but I keep on rising. My faith has been tested, but it always remains. I have grandiose plans and an endless list of options; the places that I want to explore and journeys that I want to take. I don’t always know how I will accomplish something, I just know some ways and the courage of somehow—I will. Life for me is a puzzle of creating moments. It is finding my next adventure. It is setting my feet on new sands, diving into new seas. It is laughing with a group of strangers, singing words to songs that I don’t know matters. It is knowing that there is a whole wide world out there just waiting for me to discover it. It is the feeling that there is no better time than right now to do what we have always wanted to do, so why not go? Do it.
