I have been planning to visit Ippudo since it opened but the line was so
discouraging. I could never wait for over an hour just for a bowl of ramen
while my tummy’s staging World War 3. I figured that in a month or two, the
line wouldn’t be as crazy. WRONG. But last Friday, which happens to be a pay
day Friday the 13th, there was no line at all. (Okay, it was 4 p.m.
then.)
Finally!!! Hello, Ippudo!
First thing I noticed was the bar
table perfect for solo diners. I think I just found my new favorite hangout
place.
I was famished when we got there as I
haven’t had lunch yet. So I decided to go for Shiromaru Motoaji Special (PHP480), Ippudo Pork Bun (PHP100), Ippudo
Chicken Bun (PHP100) and Ippudo
Hakata-Style Gyoza
(PHP195).
First served was the gyoza.
It was served hot and it was juicy
with a slight crunch on the fried parts. Yummy though it was more expensive
compared to the gyoza
of other ramen shops.
