Lydia Store's Yakiniku

Looking for Japanese dishes? Here's one!

In one of our food adventures, we happened to eat at Lydia store. They serve simple and affordable Japanese food. As a first timer at that eatery, we just tried which looked interesting to us. And voila! That's how we met "Yakiniku". In the Japanese language, Yakiniku means "grilled meat".

The store's version of Yakiniku is quite delicious. They used beef in bite sizes making it easy to eat drenched in soy sauce that adds flavor to it with chilies to add some kick. It was like eating chili adobo. With a pauper's budget of Php 12, you can enjoy this dish!

Ingredients

• Beef
• Cabbage
• Pechay
• Soy Sauce
• Chili 

Rating
"*Lazy* Yeah..."

The eating experience was OK, but I think cabbage and pechay did not blend well for this dish. It was a mismatch in taste. Even without the vegetables the dish is already OK. The dish could have been better if they just grilled the beef and served the meat and the sauce separately, turning the sauce as a dip for the beef. In this way, those who are not fond of spicy food can still enjoy
their delicious Yakiniku.

Tips

• If you have low tolerance for chilies, this dish is not for you.
• Add Php 6 to add a cup of rice to this dish.
• They serve free soup.
• To fight off the chili effect, eat something sweet or drink milk. Drinking water will only prolong the chili effect.

Location of Eatery
Lydia store is located at Mangga St., Sta. Cruz, Naga City, Bicol, Philippines
