Gavino's Japanese Donuts

I like cakes more than donuts, but I'm open to try anything sweet, especially anything Japanese.  So when I passed by this kiosk in Robinsons Place Ermita, I bought a couple of their bestsellers to try.

Their donuts were similar to the donuts of Jipan. Chewy and not too sweet.

Greenwich 7 Cheese Overload Pizza

With 7 types of cheese -  Mozzarella, Cheddar, Edam, Parmesan, Cream Cheese, Blue Cheese and Special Cheese.

I like it and would definitely buy one again.

Chef Med Cream Cheese Brownie

Bought at P35 a piece or 3 pieces for P100 at the Weekend Fair in Robinsons Ermita. I regret not buying more and trying their other bars and cakes (butterscotch, food for the gods, red velvet cake, carrot cake, moist chocolate cake) as I'm now left with nothing to eat :-(

I love Japanese food more if not as much as my niece, pa-chan. So it’s a no-brainer that I’ll try a new Japanese snack bar as soon as it opens.


I had the Takoyaki P75/8 pcs, Tako Burger P88 and Adzuki Green Tea Premium Crepe P105.



Their Takoyaki was soft, chewy and has that distinct taste of Octopus in it. The sauce complemented to the overall taste of the Takoyaki.


The Tako burger (or Octopus burger) also has that distinct taste of Octopus, a little bit salty too. Its texture was also a little bit weird, it’s crunchy and firm but also soft and chewy.


What I don’t like in the burger was the soggy and minute coleslaw. It would have been better if it’s crunchy (just like Sango’s) and if there’s a lot of it in the burger.


My dessert of Adzuki Crepe was just okay. It has adzuki beans, cornflakes, whipped cream and green tea gelato. I had this on two occasions. The first time the crepe was “makunat”, the second time it was soft and creamy. I was just disappointed that I have to dig deep to get to that cold green tea gelato and that I have to pass by a thick layer of cream. I also felt that the adzuki crepe was too warm because all I have been getting was the warm adzuki beans and the cream and only later on did I get to taste the gelato.

I have known of this stall at Robinsons Place Ermita for many years now. It’s also one of the reasons that I got a Flavored Rice In A Box Franchise. I am envious of their success and also amazed with their cooking-style and menu.


I always order the Babes in the Sea-ty, spicy (you can either have it mild or spicy).


Yellow rice with bacon, crab sticks, shrimps, corn, carrots, green peas and others that I can't remember what. It’s a complete meal by itself. They also don’t scrimp on ingredients. The mix was tasty, flavourful and “malinamnam”.


I eat it alone but I also love pairing it with KFC’s Hotshots/Hot and Crispy and Coleslaw. Heaven!
