Tong Yang Plus, SM North EDSA (BDO Promo)

I noticed a lot of people accessing my Tong Yang post from before. I guessed that it's because of BDO's Credit Card Promo so I'm posting the photos I took in their The Block, SM North EDSA branch when we availed the promo a few weeks back.

It's 50% off per group of 5 to 10 pax when you're using BDO Credit Card to pay.

I don't have a lot to say but here are the photos, taken August 2024.

I was suprised with the set-up and available food here in their SM North Branch. The layout was better and lighting was brighter. It was also easier to look at the food items since they're all in one aisle.

Experience was much better than what I was expecting, tbh. I am willing to eat here again especially if there's another 50% off promo. HAHA

Tong Yang Centris Branch

Not my favorite tempura.

I don't know if it really is like that or it was a bad day but the batter/tempura breading was tough to chew.

From frequent Samgyupsal a few years ago, I've become more interested in hotpots these days and this is probably the reason why I enjoyed Tong Yang more this time.

We've eaten several times at their Centris Branch but I have never appreciated the sinigang broth because I don't like the soup. In that branch, I had no choice but to compromise since we were to share to hotpot broth per table so I just go by whatever my companions want.

Since I got introduced to more hotpot restaurants over the years, I think the mushroom broth was good enough as a hotpot base and I just prepared several dry dips and dipping sauces according to my liking.
