Give Me Some Onigiri!

Japan to me is the land of so many good things, one of which is Japanese food.  There's something about their food that I find so irresistable (ask any companion during buffets at Saisaki and they'd tell you I keep going back to the maki, sushi and tenpura corners!).  I'm no food connoisseur, but I sure do love tasting different kinds of dishes and being adventurous in the process.

It's kinda expensive if I ask my students to shell out about Php 250 per head just so we can order from Teriyaki Boy, apparently the cheapest Japanese food there is.  Nah, but Hanami Sensei told me it's already Filipinized and not authentic.

So, we had to think of alternatives.  And I thought:  why not onigiri?  All they'll need is sticky rice, tuna in original flakes, Japanese mayo, and seaweeds.  Roll them together, and enjoy eating!
