I have this ongoing intimidation with a blinking cursor and a lovely titanium white page. This cat-and-mouse chase has been haunting me recently and, definitely, I am not alone.
When your WIPs (works in progress) have turned into RIPs, there’s one fix that I’d like you to try: do profane, insane things. Get out of your box. Here’s Tori Box. No fluffs, just great food.
“Tori” means bird in Japanese. Ergo, Tori Box is a place where wandering minds may perch for a while.
I liked the secluded awesomeness of the place—nice yellow corrugated metal roofings that are milder than your bruised up highlighter. Bright colors are matched with soft gray tones. White calligraphy murals bring you to the light of print. All these designs are rendered by Pamela Tan, a licensed interior designer who is also a member of the PIID (Philippine Institute of Interior Designers).
Now. We all need a little burst of flavor in our lives—like the bite-sized Tori Box karaage pops.

Shake ’em with your Chicks! Tori Box Karaage Pops Seasonings: nori, wasabi, sour cream, italian cheese, barbeque, and chili powder
Surprisingly, the nori seasoning was spicier than the wasabi. It’s a resonating whip on your tongue.
Of course, it wouldn’t be Japanese without this craze: The Tori Box Curry. Indulge on a baseball glove-sized tenderized meat laid in light roux sauce that’s mildly hot.

For the cheesy peeps, there’s a good way to indulge on your favorite, with Tori Box’s cheesy mayo gyozas and cheese katsu.
Tori Box Cheese Katsu
The cheese katsu is a sumo wrestler’s go-to since it’s almost as big as two palms. It comes in chicken or in pork variety, and best paired with veggies and rice on the side.
Tori Box Cheesy Mayo Gyozas
As with the cheesy mayo gyozas, it’s a kewpie heaven. Mayo lovers, this is paradise. Dipping these on their special sauce eliminates the “umay” factor.
Tori Box Spicy Gyozas
Need a break? Summon your palate with Tori Box spicy gyozas. This ketchup-like sight has a smooth chili glare.
If that did not energize you, have a shot of the milo dinosaur drink. It’s made for your creative t-rex needs. Mix it or not, it leaves you hints of milky chocolate sans the sore throat feel.

You may dine inside, but Tori Box still serves the dishes in economical mess-free, get-go packaging. Plus, you get your names and orders called. It will sound as if you’ve been lost somewhere and, finally, they have found you.
I guess that’s what owners Debbie and Jackie had in mind. Tori Box was bulit from their travels. They want you to experience food that moves you.
