Well, kahit ngayon di naman sila gumawa ng crossover na to sa Japan. Maybe a pipe dream.. Pero dahil wala pa ko maisip masulat for this Sunday Morning, eh tamang tama, dati eh Sundays naman nila pinapalabas ito sa TV. Or sometime, parang Saturday yun Shaider tapos Mask Rider linggo. Anyway, let's make them fight!!!!
Sa weapons or fighthing style, talo si Kamen Rider Black! hehe Well, wala naman siya baril like Shaider.. Even a cool motorcyle like Blue Hawk, kahit dalawa kay Black eh di naman lumilipad. Wala naman sword si Black, at lalo naman walang Vavilos si Black! Lugi talaga.. Baka ilang seconds lang yun laban kung gagamitin ni Shaider lahat na yun kay Black. hehe May tanke pa pala si Shaider. hehe
Aesthetics naman, although swabe dating ni Shaider, makinis eh.. Sorry, dun ako sa preferred color, black. hahaha Kahit medyo weird yun dating at parang pure leather lang siya eh astig naman yun kulay saka yun change sequence niya, mas astig! Unlike si Shaider, ilaw lang yun palit agad ng suit. Pero siyempre I love blue, pero iba yun dating ni Black.
Opening and Ending song, parang tabla. hehe I mean yun opening credits, I mean, mahirap yun kay Shaider dahil yun ending credits niya shooting from above! Tapos yun opening credits may budget. hehe Pero kay Black kahit budget lalo na yun closing credits, eh swak naman yun opening at ending songs sa ginawa nila. So, ok yun! Si Shaider naman, may budget, tama lang din yun mga kanta, with childhood wet dream favorite Annie. hehe
Sa overall cast - Hmmmm patas lang. Although kahit may Annie si Shaider eh parang yun lang umiikot yun story eh unless yun episodes na may nakilala sila. Pero yun mga kalaban niya napakadami, di naman nagamit lahat, like the amazon squad. hehe Unlike sa Black, mas marami siyang kasamang characters gaya nung mga kamag anak niya tapos isama mo pa si Silver Moon, eh interesting yun cast. Dagdag mo pa si battle hopper. hehe Patas lang kasi nagamit naman sila ng tama sa story..
Eto na yun pinakaimportante, eh yun plot! Hmmm mas gusto ko yun mood sa Black. Kasi di naman siya malakas pero nakakalusot siya di ba? hehe I mean, parang mirror yun story niya sa real life na if there are some struggles inside and you want to save others, then continue to save others until mawala yun struggles mo. Naks. hehe Saka may complex din yun story na yes, may kapatid ka pang kalaban mo na astig din.. Kaya mas gusto ko yun story ni Black. Pero di naman nalalayo si Shaider, lalo na yun twist sa story niya. Simple lang naman pero may development like yun past ni Alexis, tapos yun na.. Sa huli, tama lang nangyari sa story. Not bad naman.
Kahit I'll go to Kamen Rider Black, pero di naman nagkakalayo yun Shaider. Lalo na yun mga weapons niya saka action sequences mas astig di ba? hehe Si Black naman, yun story saka yun paano siya magchange matching umuusok na palad. hehe Ah yes, avoid RX kasi parang naging pambata talaga. hehe
Two series, bring back those childhood memories that way back then.. Always thinking, how cool are those heroes?! Matching with the poses pa. hahaha
I'm quite privileged that I've tried eating in these restaurants. Tried their specialty which is of course, japanese pork cutlet, Tonkatsu sets. What's for sure, those are the times I really felt full after eating their respective sets.
I tried first Katsu Sora at Trinoma branch. They open at 11am onwards and definitely, go early as they offer eat all you can salads and rice. I ordered the Sakura set they called, their cheapest pork style of tonkatsu. It includes of course, the pork set and unlimited rice and salads with fruits as well.
I can say, the tonkatsu is really great, it melts in my mouth! That's how great it is. I can't imagine the taste of their expensive selections of tonkatsu. I also love their salad selections, from potato salad, fresh ones and chicken as well! It's so great that I was not able to taste the other salads. I think, I ate more salads than the rice and tonkatsu meal. I'm so full that I end up not finishing the tonkatsu and giving it to Gerro at home. 600 plus pesos meal is well spent.. Indeed.
After watching that hell of a ride Mad Max: Fury Road, I decided to enjoy at least with these free days... My best friend Rheg recommend to eat at this resto, which I did not have time or even money to try. hehe This is the right time to do it.
Due to watching a lot of japanese these days, I want to try curry. I ordered for the Japanese Curry Tonkatsu set! Of course, I tried once before at the other resto but it's not has that many meat. Then, they taught me how to well, make the tonkatsu sauce. Free tutorial plus explanation of their set. Great service! Then, I've waited for quite some time and here it was.. The tonkatsu curry set looks big! I mean, that serving I feel I can't finish them all right away! Then the cabbage plus the miso soup as well. By the way, the soup, cabbage and some fruits and pickles, unlimited! Of course, I tried the soup first then the organic cabbage with that delicious Japanese Mayo, I'm happy. Then after some servings, I went to the main dish.. I must say, that's a great japanese curry, and the rice is so damn great. I wish I have that kind of rice at home.
After that serving, I focused of eating more of the cabbage and soup and the fruits and I'm just enjoying eating. I can't imagine, I'll eat a lot of those then the tonkatsu curry is so delicious, I ordered another rice filling. I also ended up not really finishing the katsu and gave to Gerro at home.
For short, those two restaurants gave me indeed a happy and fulling experience!
The simple question is; who is better? I know with my experience stated above might give a difficult answer. For me, it's easy to pick one because of the overall experience I had.
Katsu Sora was great, I mean they have that pork melts in your mouth and those Salads are still damn great! Almost taste my mom's well, known salad but not that same type. However, two things kinda let down on me for them. First was self service, it's hard to do that especially if you are alone eating. My bad that I should have sit beside in that buffet instead. Another thing, service is just good, not great as Yabu really have time to discuss how the sauce works and the eat all you can thing. Here, they discussed the sauce when I'm almost done. The other thing bothered me was the price. 600 pesos with service charge, for me was a bit steep. I need to do a lot than they did, which serve water and just looking at the people. If they add the service charge, then better serve the salad to the customers instead. Great thing they have better taste of tonkatsu and salad, if not, they are just out of their minds. But definitely, some time in the future, I'll come back for those other salads/fruits that I haven't tried.
The answer is here. Yabu! I mean, I spent 550 bucks, remember, with the set, and iced tea with service charge! Despite well, the katsu is slight lower than Katsu sora when it comes to taste, but still it tastes great, the service is fantastic. I'm also lucky that I sat right beside the condiments and waiters section. They have time to tell the sauce, explain the menu and the eat all you can. Even Katsu Sora has better salads, I'm quite happy with the cabbage and fruits. Next time, I should order the set with their house salads than the refillable iced tea. hehe
Service is just made my stay great as they are approachable and helpful. I don't mind asked 3 times for more rice and stuff. =) If I did not order that ice tea, 450 is really like the others say, bang for buck!
It doesn't mean Katsu Sora is bad, they just need to really change that system and they will be better than Yabu. For Yabu, well, I hope they offer that salad in a more resonable one or include in the set itself. But other things, just stay what they do and they are good.
Thinking about these 2 restaurants makes me hungry again for Tonkatsu! Hai!
