(Photo from quezonavenue.com/tag/quezon-avenue/)

Hi there!

It has been another "sick" and "unlucky" day for me. Yesterday at the office, i accidentally bumped to the table and my colleague's tumbler (with water inside) fell to my foot then to the floor. It hurts a lot that i even hurriedly sat down to the floor and was about to cry. Anyway, enough of what had happened. So i did some work at home. Thanks to B for sharing with me, his ever helpful token. yeeho...

And now, i present to you the real subject: Tong Yang Hotpot located along Quezon Ave. just a few streets aways P99 steak house.

If you are looking for an eat-all-you-can/cook-your-own-food/korean-chinese style restaurant, then i suggest go to this place. I believe that they also have branches in Jupiter St (Makati city), SM and in Davao. Since i had my first Tong Yang experience in Quezon Ave. I will be blogging more about this place.

NAME: TONG YANG HOTPOT (冬陽火鍋) which means "winter sun hotpot" in english.

TYPE:

Restaurant (Hotpot); Chinese / Korean inspired-Chinese because of the hotpot at the center of the table; as well as the food choices which includes dumplings; kangkong; siomai; seafoods, etc.
Korean because the hotpot comes with the grilling pan. Where you grill/fry everything you want to eat.

FOOD:

For dinner, it is P560, inclusive of bottomless drinks.

STORE TIME: I am not sure of the time it opens, but they closes at 10:00 pm so better go there early so you can all you want. =)

AMBIENCE:

When we went there around 9:00pm there are quite a number of people, good thing they have lots of tables and chairs that can accomodate a number of people. Servers are very accomodating. This TongYang branch has a more family-oriented ambience, good for family or barkada reunion, birthday reception, etc.

1. Make sure you are really hungry when you go here so that it would be worth your money. =)
2. Try not eat rice or if you want just minimal amount.
3. Not to intake much soup so that you wont feel full...hahaha...
4. Not drink a lot immediately (by the way, they also have bottomless beer) hahaha..

8. Come early!
