More than just a fad, healthy eating is the way to go. If you want to prolong your life and live to your full potential, one of the things that I realized was that food must not ever go over and under the limit. The quality is also important. Although taste is a big part of enjoying a meal, nutrients are pretty much the things to look at.

A restaurant that has recently entered the Philippine scene that would exude healthy eating while being delicious at the same time would be BIJIN NABE. Located in S Maison Mall, this particular Japanese place serves collagen hot pot that aids in digestion, keeps your skin firm and fresh, and is even quite light. Here are 5 things to remember when visiting the restaurant for the first time.

1) Sharing is Caring. An order is roughly around 750 Php and it's good for 2 persons. Albeit it's a bit pricey but the main ingredients are all shipped in from overseas and are prepared generously. Quality wise, you won't be able to deny it. It's pretty good.

2) Eating this dish is a process. Simple as it might seem, it starts with waiting. The collagen itself is boiled to create a semi-thick stock. It's light and has a chicken flavor.

3) Once you get to try it out, vegetables are added in. Then Shrimps. Then either noodles or even rice to create a porridge. It's here that different flavors pop out. It's as if the stock has absorbed all the nutrients. Hence, the flavor change.

4) It's nutritious and delicious. Everything is great for your skin. Some friends have suggested going back just because they felt better after eating some. Also, the aroma and the smoke coming from the dish would entice you to return for more.

5) Sides are your best friend. It might be a bit too much to just eat soup and chicken, but at BIJIN NABE, they also offer delicious side dishes to accompany your meal. One could go for the chicken and even their version of an onigiri. Rice balls wrapped with pork belly. IF you're watching your diet, you might enjoy the eggplants. These babies tastes like sweet potatoes and are definitely must tries.

Other than the Golden Collagen Chicken Stock, the nikumaki onigiri is another best seller from @bijinnabeph . It's basically pork belly strips and rice ball and special sauce. #foodinthebag

Sometimes more than just taste, food must also be full of nutrition and good for our health too. At BIJIN NABE in S MAISON, they aim to provide collagen filled hotpot that is perfect for our skin and digestive system.

Located on the 2nd floor of S MAISON MALL / CONRAD HOTEL in Pasay, BIJIN NABE by TSUKADA NOJO is a well known brand from Japan and Singapore.

More than just hotpot, they also offer delicious side dishes that accompany the collagen filled soup.

One could start with the FRIED EGGPLANT. These babies are their healthy version of fries. Almost like potatoes, you won't distinguish between the two texture wise. Very nice way to start the meal.

Cooked to perfection, the CHICKEN NANBAN is a dish that originated from MIYAZAKI. Partnered with homemade tar tar sauce, it wasn't overwhelming and goes well with plain rice. You won't feel that rancid oil flavor here.

Another crowd favorite would be the NIKUMAKI ONIGIRI. These are rice balls wrapped with pork and baked with a special soy sauce. Some would like it with cheese on top but having some Yuzu-Mayo also works.

The main dish of this restaurant though would be the GOLDEN COLLAGEN CHICKEN SOUP. Imported from overseas, a pot is good for one to two persons. Made from Jidori Chicken that is stewed for 18 hours, the broth is both light and healthy.

After trying out the broth in its simplest form, the staff would assist the guests by adding more toppings and meat into the hot pot. By putting in different organic vegetables, seafood, and meat, the flavors are absorb and it becomes a bit sweeter.

If it becomes a little too overwhelming or repetitive, you are given different sauces like the yuzu kosho to give everything more depth.

Patrons are also asked for your preference with what type of noodles will be added. You could pick from three choices, egg noodles, thick ones and rice noodles.
