Wondering how to give your favorite luxury bag a second life? These restoration spots in the Philippines might just be your best-kept secret.

Kokorolls Combo at Kokoro Japanese Grindz


Carmina has already eaten at Kokoro Japanese Grindz a year ago. Kokoro Japanese Grindz is a combination of Japanese and Hawaiian mixed together.

Carmina wanted to try Kokorolls Combo of twelve pieces total together with the following Bathala, El Diablo, Rockstar and Big Kahuna for PHP 403.00 ($8.06) not including handling fee and tip to the Grab rider.

Carmina will give you the ingredients to figure which one is would bring you to order at Kokoro Japanese Grindz starting left side of the photo.

  1. El Diablo - Deep Fried with Tuna, Crab Meat, Avocado, Cream Cheese, Baked Tempura Shrimps, Wasabi, Mayo, Aonori, Habanero Sauce and Sweet Sauce on the side.
  2. Bathala - Tuna Sashimi, Tempura Shrimps, Avocado, Tobiko, Negi Baked Crab Meat, Scallops, Spicy Mayo and Sweet Sauce on the side.
  3. Rockstar - Inari, Tuna Tartare, Cucumber, Cilantro, Wasabi, Mayo, Avocado, Lime, Honey, Habanero sauce, Negi, Fried Wanton on the top with Sweet sauce on the side.
  4. Big Kahuna - Tuna, Tempura Shrimps, Avocado, Tobiko, Negi, Baked Crab Meat, Scallops, Spicy Mayo and sweet sauce on the side.
Carmina didn't have to dip her El Diablo, Bathala, Rockstar and Big Kahuna in soy sauce and wasabi. It was already spicy enough to dig into it.
