Tajimaya- Baguio City Philippines
This is my entry for Market Friday hosted by @dswigle
To continue my post from yesterday, we ate at Tajimaya for our dinner. This restaurant is located at Military Cut Off. When we got there, there were barely any customers.
Place
Before entering the place, we had to scan the QR code for contact tracing, check our temperature, and disinfect. They also have the policy of No Facemask no entry like most establishments.
When we got in, there were 3 tables being occupied. And it was dark inside, we actually wanted to stay by the window but the waitress said that we can't so they put us on that very first table. You could also see all the plastic barriers per table.
There were a lot of ings attached on the plastic barrier showing the different guidelines for dine-in.
Menu And Price
Me and my nephew opted to do the eat all you can instead of ordering single dishes. It's 639 Php or 12.63 USD per head. And they serve Beef, Pork, Chicken, Squid, Speial Sausage, Squid Roll, Salad, Sancyu, Mussels, Salmon Belly, Namuru and Rice.
It's kinda expensive compared to the other eat-all-you-can places.
Food
At our first round, we ordered everything on the menu. On the photos below that was all of the food that they serve when you avail the eat-all-you-can. You can see the charcoal blazing at the bottom of the grill.
Here comes the fun part the grilling, sometimes you don't get to eat because you're busy watching the meat on the grill because once you screw up, you'll burn your food. And there are also chances that, if you don't cook it well enough, your food is still going to be raw, especially with the chicken slices. That's the advantage of the beef and pork, they are thinly sliced though there are chances of it burning. The charcoal may be giving the flavor but what sucked about it was that you can't control the heat.
The food was good, We really loved the beef and sausage that's what we were just ordering for the other rounds.
Though, I noticed something crappy about their service. Sometimes it takes a long time for them to give your order/ change the charcoal grill. We ate there at around 6 pm and usually, the eat-all-you-can has a max of 2 hours. I was actually surprised that the last wall was at 7 pm. We tried ordering more but they said that they can only serve 2 plates of the choice of meat.
Overall, I enjoyed eating and speaking to my nephew. I just hope that their customer service would become better.
Thanks for reading and Stay safe always!

Mukhang masarap. Pagnakabalik ako dyan, isa ito sa pupuntahan ko. Lumalamig na naman siguro dyan. Pa December na.
Masarap naman po, pero ung irerecommend ko po sa inyo kung gusto niyo po ng samgyup sa Romantic baboy hehe.
Ung sa lamig hindi naman po masyado hehe. Ingat po kayo diyan. Hopefully makakapasyal po kayo dito one day
Puntang punta na ako dyan 😄
Wait! That is not all you can eat!! It should have said, eat up to two plates of meat!I have to admit, it looked pretty good when you were cooking it, so I am guessing that I would give it a try.
I actually would have preferred to sit by the window as opposed to the middle of the room like that, but, with the plastic barriers, I guess either way would be fine. Which was your favorite meat? I think you probably liked the beef best as it was very thinly sliced and it cooked up, so, so nicely~!! I would be very lost in trying to pick one, they all look good.
It was a good experience for me and I am glad that you were able to take your nephew and get to talk with him. Man-bonding time!
#MarketFriday has evolved over time from straight shopping to a cultural affair as it highlights how we differ and then again, how much we are alike. Rituals, Festivals, food, architecture, even your language/languages. Along with the fact of what is normal for where you live? These are unwritten rules that rule our social behaviors. I see this as allowing for increased tolerance between cultures and nations, and opportunities to come together on an even playing ground. A strong culture can be beneficial to a country as it promotes unity, especially during a crisis, peaceful debate, and open dialogue.
Fridays are all about the #MarketFriday Challenge! Looking to take part in it? Here is how:
Take pictures! Be creative!
As always, please remember! #MarketFriday loves you!

I'm so sorry for this late reply,
hahaha, that's so true but I guess that's their way so that there would be no food wastage. Hahah, our hack in these kinds of restaurants is that we bring our younger siblings to cook for us hehehe.
We loved the beef, it just stood out from everything. Or maybe it's just my bias for beef haha. But it's also good to taste everything.
Thank you so much for dropping by! Have a great weekend ahead!
No problem! I get so far behind, it's not funny or finds posts that I forgot to reply to.
Glad to see why you bring the younger siblings! :)
I love beef too! Have a great weekend!
