    Yakumi’s weekend offers are getting fresh tastes with the new Saturday All-You-Can-Eat buffet and Sunday Brunch

    Solaire Resort & Casino’s Yakumi weekend offers are getting fresh tastes as their new Saturday All-You-Can-Eat buffet and Sunday Brunch are getting refreshed with more list of Japanese delicacies.

    Inside, you’ll also find a private room dedicated to tempura, and chawanmushi, a Japanese steamed egg dish with savory ingredients that resemble flan or pannacotta.

    Around, you’ll probably see Japanese chefs assemble sushis at another station. If you’re too excited and eager to sit and eat, there’s a roving sashimi trolley that will keep your plate occupied as a chef precisely slices your serving fresh from a whole tuna.

    Aside from the sushi section, you’ll also discover the art of Robatayaki, where they grill skewers of various vegetables, as well as meats ranging from chicken parts to USDA beef portions, squid to Blue Marlin chunks coated in teriyaki sauce.

    Meats ranging from chicken parts to USDA beef portions are also freshly chopped at the Robotayaki station

    Although kaizen means improvement, some stations don’t require any necessary touch-ups like the broths and noodles station of Shoyu, Miso, Tonkotsu, and Tantanmen ramens with a choice between Soba, Udon, or Somen noodles.

    On the other hand, when we say improvement, it doesn’t necessarily mean revising everything.

    Yakumi’s extensive list of desserts adds another popular staple dessert on the list—Mochi. It’s a Japanese rice cake that’s often filled with sweet red bean paste with three unexpected variants: green tea, apple, and peach.

    These mochis will now be part of the three-station spread of fresh fruits, delectable confectionaries, frozen treats, and cream-based desserts.

    There are also new sake cocktails that will refresh the palate mid-meal or when the chopsticks are finally down.

    They have Fukumi Navel—a Honey Umeshu-based drink that’s sweet and zingy at the same time. Saturday Fizz, on the other hand, just like what its name suggests is a refreshing fizzy drink that will make you second guess whether your taste buds are giving you sweet or sour. 

    Unlimited servings of some of your favorites are still available during Saturdays with a new All-You-Can-Eat Buffet. Yakumi will offer a tick-box menu of featured Nihon dishes and Set Menu Upgrade options that can be ordered as additions for a more filling visit.

    Gracing the buffet area are the master chefs that showcase their experience and expertise in the Japanese cuisine. Mr. Norimasa Kosaka, the Executive Chef of Yakumi is a master of the traditional Japanese multi-course meals—kaiseki. He was also the previous chef of Swiss Hotel Istanbul in Turkey, as well as in Shangri-La Hotel in India New Delhi and Crown Resort in Australia. He was also the Deputy Chef of the one & only resort in the Maldives. Now, he is currently here at Solaire Resort and Casino in Manila serving Japanese buffet dining at its finest.

    Palm Grill in Quezon City: Discover the Bold Flavors of Zambasulta Cuisine
    Palm Grill in Quezon City is a one-of-a-kind dining destination that brings the authentic cuisine of South of Mindanao to Luzon. Established in 2017, Palm Grill proudly serves the rich flavors, vibrant culture, and storied history of the Zambasulta region—Zamboanga, Basilan, Sulu, and Tawi-Tawi—offering diners a rare opportunity to explore Southern Mindanaon dishes without leaving Metro Manila. Known as the only authentic Southern Mindanaon restaurant in Luzon, Palm Grill goes beyond simply serving food. It showcases culinary traditions deeply rooted in Tausug and Zamboangueño heritage, highlighting ingredients and cooking techniques that are not commonly found in mainstream Filipino restaurants. A must-try for first-time diners is the Dulang (Php 1,119)—a specialty tray traditionally served during royal banquets. This curated sampler features a variety of Palm Grill’s signature dishes, making it the perfect introduction to the bold and layered flavors of Zambasulta cuisine. Presented generously and meant for sharing, it reflects the communal spirit of Southern dining. Another standout is the Tiyula Itum (Php 560), a striking black beef soup from the Tausug community. Cooked with lemongrass, galangal, turmeric, garlic, onions, and pepper, its distinctive dark color comes from burnt coconut meat, which imparts a deep, smoky richness. Often described as “Bulalo 2.0,” it offers a comforting yet complex flavor profile that surprises and delights. For something hearty and satisfying, the Beef Satti (Php 300) delivers skewered beef served with a flavorful sauce that perfectly balances sweet, savory, and spicy notes. It’s a beloved Southern staple that captures the bold personality of Mindanao’s cuisine. Through its thoughtfully prepared dishes and dedication to authenticity, Palm Grill continues to champion the culinary identity of Zambasulta. For diners in Quezon City seeking flavors beyond the usual Filipino fare, Palm Grill offers an immersive experience—where history, culture, and cuisine come together in every bite.
