Whenever there are long lines, my expectation
for great food gets higher and higher. And a handful of restaurants
disappointed me to the point of me sulking as I felt that I just wasted time
and energy to line up and endure a grumpy tummy. But there are also those worth-the-wait
restaurants (though of course, it would have been so much better if there’s no
line) like Ramen Nagi.
Hello, Ramen Nagi a.k.a.
popular-ramen-place-people-go-gaga-over!
We arrived a bit past 11:30 a.m. and the place
was already full of hungry people. We had our names listed but we had to wait
for an hour to get a table. No. We just cannot wait for an hour with really
grumpy tummies. (Plus it was really hot and uncomfortable that day.) What we
did though was go to the nearest restaurant, have a few bites and hurry our way
back to Ramen Nagi for lunch #2 (click here for lunch #1). Yes, that is the life.
We were number 5 from the list when we came back
and we had to wait for another 15 minutes to get a table. Luckily, we got one
inside the store and not along the hallway which was very narrow and crowded
with other people waiting for their tables.
T and I decided to share a bowl while M and A
had their solo share. T and I decided to go for the Black King (PHP410) while M
went for the Green King (PHP410) and A got the Ramen Nagi special, Truffle King
(PHP700).
For a full ramen house, service was very quick.
Our orders arrived in less than 10 minutes and I was still busy appreciating
the interiors then. (They have ramen bowls as wall accents!)
