So after all the anticipation, much sleep deprivation mixed with city hall and my contractor's procrastination we've decided to up this blog so our friends and fam can keep track of the progression of ROBOT. Manila's next "it" (fingers crossed haha).
For those of you that are now just encountering ROBOT we are a new Contemporary Japanese Tapas restaurant under going construction at the location of the former Wasabi Bistro on Makati Ave next to the Manila Peninsula Hotel. I'm pretty sure if your reading this or were alive in the Philippines in early part of the last decade you either partied your ass off there or weren't old enough too and wish you did hehe.
Our goal for ROBOT is simply put into one word -inspire-
Through the environment, the food and the service we hope to titillate (I've always wanted to use that word) not only the palette but the mind and soul. Attention to detail and many sleepless hours are being put into every aspect down to the thread count of the staffs' ridiculously gorgeous uniforms created by no other than one of the Philippines most renowned couture designers. Shot out to you sis, meeting Wednesday to check the samples, no flaking or filipino time haha!
Without letting the cat out of the bag completely we aim to reinvent fine dining in Manila Robatayaki Style (wikipedia is my savior, shout out to JC). Can there be a place that is classy enough to bring your wife on your anniversary yet not pretentious enough to impose some lame dress code requiring collared shirts or dinner jackets. And since when did real style ever have rules??? How about a place that looks like a million bucks but doesn't require your first born child! I'm not gonna lie with the overwhelming amount of blood, sweat and love put into ROBOT we're not gonna give away the farm. Then again we sure aren't competing with Burger Machine (shout out Stacy Rodriguez =p) Breakfast around 300p / Lunch 500p / Dinner 1000p +/-. And believe me not to toot my horn or world class Chef Ninyo Laus (www.ninyo.ph) but worth every hard earned peso/dollar/yen/ shit we'll even do XD's if you have something worth a lick to trade =p
If you made it this far hopefully you were entertained, really bored or just a good friend of Team Robot. Gotta bounce, yup working on the lord's day. Archie and them are about to bomb our board-up, tarpaulins are so 2000 and late...
Tell me what you eat and I'll tell you what you are-
worthless plug www.robotxyz.com
