Our Dinning Experience At Tenya

How can I say no to an invite to try out the one and only undisputed restaurant that serves the best and most authentic Japanese Tendon and Tempura? NO WAY!! Here in the Philippines? Oh may gulay! And the best part is, I got to bring the kids with me! Yay!

My tempura loving boys, give this restaurant a smile of approval!

Yes, this is the first of its kind in our country and we’re lucky because Tenya is Japan’s #1 restaurant chain specializing in Tendon and Tempura.

Tendons are made by combining steaming hot authentic Japanese rice, commonly abbreviated as “Don”, with the most flavorful, freshest and most delicious Tempura on top. This delicious combination is what helped Tenya give rise to 144 stores in Japan alone. What’s special about Tenya’s famous tendons is that they are prepared only with authentic Japanese ingredients that are fresh and of top quality. They even have their own special Dontare sauce which provides a great complement to the tempura. As they have mastered the art of cooking Tempura, they were able to patent their own auto frying machine that allows them to quickly cook every piece consistently in color, texture and most of all, flavor. This means everyone can quickly escape to an unparalleled Tendon experience with Tenya’s fast service and mouthwatering selection of the finest Tendons.

Undeniably, the tempura is really great, my personal favorite is black tiger prawn and salmon which is included in theAll-Star Tendon.

But as a mom who can’t dine without kids, this is the best part:

Kids meal is served on this toy este plate! But no, you can’t bring it home. Just think about the excitement this will bring to the kids, yes! You can eat your tempura in peace! hahaha

Sati’s always ready to strike a “model” pose! hahaha Of course she asked for a pink car as her plate!

Sangko chose a fire truck for his plate. For P255, Tenya Kids Meal include 2 prawns, kani stick, fries, onigir and yakult and cute plate and cute spoon and fork!

The branch were we had our first authentic Tempura experience is the first Tenya branch here in the country. It is located at 4th Floor, Building A of SM Megamall. Good news! More stores opening soon in Bonifacio Stopover and Market Market at Bonifacio Global City, Taguig and SM Southmall as Tenya begins to rise as the new authentic Japanese food favorite in the country, which uses high quality Japanese ingredients and sushi grade seafood at reasonable prices.

To seal our authentic Japanese tendon experience, we had this for dessert:

Tenya #FruityJuicyPops! Flavors are Lite Citrus, Strawberry, Coconut Lychee and Orange Vanilla. We had Coconut Lychee and Orange Vanilla.. both addicting pops!

You’re excited na no? Check out Tenya Facebook Page for updates on branch openings na malapit sayo! 🙂

Hello SY 2015-2016: Some Tips To Boost Multiple Intelligence

It’s been 2 weeks since SY 2015-2016 started and to be honest I just finished covering and labeling their books and notebooks! I don’t what happened but I am too relaxed this past few days. I am not stressing myself that much and I have noticed that with this kind of relaxed attitude, my kids are less stressed too.

But of course, when it comes to their education, we’re not that relaxed naman. To help them achieve more this school year and to boost their Multiple Intelligence, I made a few adjustments on our schedule of activities.

We’re still very strict with their study time. Dati, I usually let them rest and feed them before studying, my first born said, inaantok sya pag ganun. Baka daw pwede study muna and assignment before snacks and milk. Well, it’s their body and that’s one thing I can tell you moms to boost their multiple intelligence, listen to your kids. Take a cue from what they are telling or what they are not telling you.

After study time, I let them play and relaxed but without gadget. They can only use their gadgets on Friday afternoon until Sunday 12 noon. Imposing a no gadget week improves their concentration. TV is off too during study time. To relax, they play outside, improving their body smart intelligence. They also discovered the Marco Polo game!

We’re still working on our reading schedule but slowly, we’re getting there. I always ask them to read for at least 30 minutes a day and we’re building a library na! How can I convince them to read if we don’t have books di ba?

Lastly, knowing what kind of learners they are really helped a lot to prepare them to school and boot their Multiple Intelligence. It is much easier to teach them when I know how they learn. I also bought a few materials to be used when teaching them. For my first born, since he is visual and Kinaesthetic learner, I gave him a few markers for his textbooks. The experience of highlighting important texts and seeing it in bright colors can help him better understood the concepts. As for my 2nd born who is also visual-Kinaesthetic, but a bit different, I bought a white board to help me in teaching him. He learns better kase this way, yung parang classroom setting na the teacher is writing and discussing.

So far, we’re doing good with our academics. And obviously, with these techniques, I am more relaxed and less stressed!

In summary, here are the things that we do to help them achieve more in school and boost their Multiple Intelligence:

Impose a very strict study time
Listen to tthe kids
Limit use of gadget
Let the kids play outside
Encourage them to read
Know what type of learner he/she is
