Impromptu Dinner at Ippudo Ramen

I know, I know! Ippudo has been in the Philippine scene since September, but the lines are always insanely long and my tummy just couldn't handle the ridiculous waiting time when I know I could have had dinner elsewhere, sans all that unnecessary hassle. Thank God for holiday operating hours, my office mates and I were able to walk in without the killer lines after doing overtime and several rounds of bowling.

Back for Seconds At Ikkoryu Fokouka Ramen

Before you hurl your mouse at your screen and complain the obvious fact that I am back on a cloying and already tiresome "ramen roll", first things first; I am not sorry. I love ramen, you guys! It's the epitome of comfort in a bowl, it's a serving of happiness in this cold, cruel world but most of all, it's my Kryptonite. I'm not kidding.

It's A Ramen Kind Of Night At Mitsuyado Sei-Men

We found ourselves hankering for a good bowl of ramen this week, partially due to the bed weather but more so because we just grab any excuse we can find to pig out. My friends and I initially decided to try Raimen Daisho in Shaw Boulevard, but we found ourselves inside Mitsuyado Sei-Men in Jupiter, Makati which was much closer to home.

Kichitora of Tokyo at SM Megamall

Time flew so fast that once again, rainy season is upon us. Though regardless of the weather, I always have a constant hankering for a sumptuous, nourishing and comforting bowl of ramen. As if it isn't obvious through this blog already!

All Hail Ramen Nagi!

Having been a fan of Jin Loves to Eat, I have been constantly salivating over her endless ramen escapades in and out of the country. I even made a mental bucket list of ramen houses to visit as soon as possible, one of them is Butao Ramen.

Ramen Bar

"A bowl of ramen is a self-contained universe with life from the sea, the mountains, and the earth. All existing in perfect harmony. Harmony is essential. What holds it all together is the broth. The broth gives life to the ramen." - Maezumi, The Ramen Girl.

Send-Off Lunch At Hokkaido Ramen Santouka

For my second and official send-off celebration, I was thinking of going Japanese. To my officemates and friends, that's probably a given. I had my mind's eye set to Yabu's sinfully enticing Salmon Katsu but Yabu doesn't accept reservations and it always is jam-packed during peak hours. I didn't want my officemates to starve on account of me, so my backup plan was to try out Hokkaido Ramen Santouka based on the decent reviews online.

Ninja Paparazzi Mode At Ikkoryu Fukuoka Ramen

Last Saturday, I met up with Ekai at Shangri-La Plaza Mall to watch Fast & Furious 6 and also to pig out at this ramen place that recently opened in the additional east wing.  We only went for the food but as it turns out, we got more than what we came for! It was an unusually awesome day, find out why after the jump!

Nagomi Japanese Restaurant

BF and I had my post birthday celebration in one of our favorite restaurants, Nagomi. Situated in the busy place of Ortigas Center, many people, Japanese or locals aren't fazed to face the heavy bouts of traffic just to have a taste of good old and authentic Japanese food.

Their menu is filled with photos to help the diners visually, and thanks to their drool worthy menu, you will definitely know that WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get), no less and maybe more!
