Renowned the world over for its lusciously creamy collagen broth described by many as "Japanese beauty hot pot," the rich broth is made by tediously boiling and stewing chicken bones for over eight hours. The long hours of simmering allows all the nutrition from the bones to melt away for a concentrated yet elegantly smooth and flavorful broth of soft gelatin and 100% all-natural collagen. <b>Bijin Nabe</b> keeps it simple allowing the natural flavors to develop after hours of simmering without any artificial additives or MSG. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">And it takes mere seconds to transform the soft gelatin into a steaming and fragrant broth once you turn on the special induction table-top cooker. Loaded with Vitamin A, B1, B2 and Iron, the "Golden Collagen Chicken Stock" is believed to have countless health and beauty benefits with its all-natural ingredients. It's what sets <b>Bijin Nabe</b> apart from the usual hot pot options in the metro. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVI9IW7goJYOIWcXy-gkOTmO9bXEG2SvS6t_mkDF-jcYkCWxztUgAWJoaDtlNwg5QDGaVLexErH0vgD_v6bsJ93Yq-QLMoefO4zzQ4fnjVUR-A-IYgUbE1ys2Ic4nbLhLp-NHofheC-MTmAs6HMcUJDPRdeerz6ceW5L4bzdc4wm8QYyh6v-PPaqcGHBo/s3264/IMG20240225131138.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3264" data-original-width="2448" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVI9IW7goJYOIWcXy-gkOTmO9bXEG2SvS6t_mkDF-jcYkCWxztUgAWJoaDtlNwg5QDGaVLexErH0vgD_v6bsJ93Yq-QLMoefO4zzQ4fnjVUR-A-IYgUbE1ys2Ic4nbLhLp-NHofheC-MTmAs6HMcUJDPRdeerz6ceW5L4bzdc4wm8QYyh6v-PPaqcGHBo/w480-h640/IMG20240225131138.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Then, my <b>Hokkaido Scallops Special Seafood Combo</b> (P 1,790 good for two) was served...</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiB20oG_ACV7_8xzQ-dykmdUOg5A8AY-zgbRVH5igOIyUa3WA3iRIhhyBVxOWxtarreUg6kX68Nme9keMLTEjqJzsbVWJbd9w8C3W5E3hSz0zk3ZyXeLs7EhNTLypinSN4XCiNUqAl0bEHyLclrkWFGo_x6RCHjc_dmGxw-OWcpApR9_YoE5ATqG3_cEDs/s3264/IMG20240225131611.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="3264" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiB20oG_ACV7_8xzQ-dykmdUOg5A8AY-zgbRVH5igOIyUa3WA3iRIhhyBVxOWxtarreUg6kX68Nme9keMLTEjqJzsbVWJbd9w8C3W5E3hSz0zk3ZyXeLs7EhNTLypinSN4XCiNUqAl0bEHyLclrkWFGo_x6RCHjc_dmGxw-OWcpApR9_YoE5ATqG3_cEDs/w640-h480/IMG20240225131611.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">...with a delectable medley of fresh vegetables and seafood including succulent <b>crab sticks</b>, crisp <b>cabbage</b>, the subtle sharpness of <b>Mizuna</b> or Japanese mustard greens, sweet <b>radish</b>, nutty and earthy <b>Shiitake mushrooms</b> and soft <b>silken tofu</b>...</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHWlR1E_S5f38CWHlVqDCfyq42k9q1qbxj4mxRH8aTw2byhAxDYaVkbKR8v5_2hAlH8wnBUoi3l6nNT402KxPmkQN_czTC6_R2GUpNca7SqbD9Oh_p5NmBmnAQFjVrVT3Pa_N7Gl1Lr9oEiZZ9oDtjGh6LsG8ZsruYSTPz91VNL641y3qVL-qKN3Hq8OM/s3264/IMG20240225131331.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="3264" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHWlR1E_S5f38CWHlVqDCfyq42k9q1qbxj4mxRH8aTw2byhAxDYaVkbKR8v5_2hAlH8wnBUoi3l6nNT402KxPmkQN_czTC6_R2GUpNca7SqbD9Oh_p5NmBmnAQFjVrVT3Pa_N7Gl1Lr9oEiZZ9oDtjGh6LsG8ZsruYSTPz91VNL641y3qVL-qKN3Hq8OM/w640-h480/IMG20240225131331.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">...and the day's featured catch of premium sashimi grade <b>Hokkaido Scallops</b>.

Running out of baguettes, the chef simply brought out a stack of <i>pain de mie</i>, sliced it and layered it with ham and cheese and baked it to a golden crispness. Dubbed as <i>croque monsieur</i>, several variations have since delighted countless palates through the years with the <i>croque madame</i> emerging as another inventive spin so named as the sunny side up resembled a woman's hat. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8knOc16xKz4aoKrCkxPYhaF8wA7q1tY0DgRuX0C1k-yow3857WBjNSKHsAtuZHLLnRy2K7JclN6rFED5iDvi1Ji4iMvLl0g4VCqW085j_ztA-odAWuHNFPz4kLjqL4N3BF1G36nYqd4G52veG-BBvMc_IwWddxn1hTwuD5ZaKB00KRZCC62skMm9W0pk/s3264/IMG20240214134714.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="3264" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8knOc16xKz4aoKrCkxPYhaF8wA7q1tY0DgRuX0C1k-yow3857WBjNSKHsAtuZHLLnRy2K7JclN6rFED5iDvi1Ji4iMvLl0g4VCqW085j_ztA-odAWuHNFPz4kLjqL4N3BF1G36nYqd4G52veG-BBvMc_IwWddxn1hTwuD5ZaKB00KRZCC62skMm9W0pk/w640-h480/IMG20240214134714.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Whatever origin story you prefer, the <b>Croque Madame</b> remains an integral and flavorful chapter in sandwich lore.

We've enjoyed <b>Sebastian's Ice Cream's</b> playful and innovative expressions of ice cream from green mango and bagoong to the enduring Sapin-Sapin and even chocolate-covered <i>chicharon</i>, but this one literally takes the cake.

It's sweet with a naughty yet subtle fiery kick and a nice crunch for that perfectly balanced finish.

The new edition of <b>Matinong Boyfriend</b> is all about a harmonious balance with level headed and grounded flavors. Sound like anyone you know? Made with <i>calamansi</i> curd ice cream and <i>calamansi</i> curd ribbons from fresh-squeezed <i>calamansi</i> churned with roasted pili nuts from Bicol, the <b>Matinong Boyfriend</b> drapes the palate with bold citrus notes rounded out by the nutty flavors and chewy crunch of pili nuts. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Sebastian's Ice Cream</b> may be known for its outlandish and out-of-the-box flavors but each new variant is always characterized by its delicate balance and complementary finish.
