I’m not really sure
what made ramen so popular lately but I’m sensing that this is one trend that
is just getting started. With ramen places popping out left and right, despite
the prolonged summer heat, people can’t help but crave for a bowl or two of this
Japanese dish.
I’m back Ikkoryu Fukuoka Ramen! This time, I went with N’s
family and cute little (and hyper) B was with us.
The wait was crazy this time. We were number 13 on the
waitlist. So V, B and I went down to check out Maple if the waitlist is shorter
but *tada* we were number 9. The East Wing sure is packed on weekends so better
call to reserve; to avoid the long wait.
After an hour, we finally secured a table at Ikkoryu
Fukuoka. Soon, we were all busy reading the menu. B ordered the Black Garlic
Tonkotsu I tried before. V and I tried the same ramen, Ajitama Tonkotsu (PHP380). This time, I asked for hard noodles as I
just hate overly soggy ones. *excited*
Service was quick given the full house. I guess the servers
were now used to it given it was like that ever since it opened. (Ramen
madness!)
Now for my Ajitama Tonkotsu with hard noodles…
For one, the noodles were not as hard as I wanted it to be.
I wanted it extra chewy but it wasn’t there. Almost but missed it.
The flavor though was great. It was savory. There was a good
balance between it being salty and sweet. The chasu was thinly sliced but every
bite was heavenly sweet (just right). The soft half boiled egg was delightful
as well as it was slightly gooey which reminded me of sunny side up eggs.
Yummy!
I definitely have to try their dessert next time. Soon.
Ikkoryu Fukuoda Ramen
is located at the 5th floor, East Wing, Shangri-La Plaza Mall,
Mandaluyong City.
I have been to Ikkoryu Fukuoka Ramen, at the 5Flr. East Wing, Shangri-la, ramen is good, but the service is so BAD. :-( hopefully they get to read this and improve.
