I have never been a
fan of UAAP. I never watched a single game nor had the interest to know the
players. (The only one I know is Chris Tiu—because he is one of the owners of
Happy Lemon and an endorser of Milo.) So I had low expectations when I watched
it for the first time, LIVE. To my surprise, I enjoyed it. It was fun to watch
a game surrounded by game enthusiasts. They cheer and utter “awww” in unison.
It was a very interesting experience. But the trip back home was pretty
horrific. It was traffic! And my generous sponsor, W was starting to get
hungry. And he turns into a grumpy rabbit when deprived of his carrot.
We decided to make a quick stop in Makati so that we get to
have dinner and W suggested Ukokkei Ramen Ron. I have never been there so I was
game.
When we arrived, only a few diners were there so service was
pretty quick. W and W2 knew what to order and went with the Ukokkei Miso Chasu
(PHP380 for regular and PHP560 for big serving). I ordered the Ukokkei Shoyu
Chasu (PHP380) and Gyoza (PHP120).
Our ramen were served in less than 15 minutes.
My ramen was slightly oily and a bit weak on the taste. I
guess I got used to the strong flavors of Ramen Nagi and Kichitora. It was
refreshing though to have ramen again with a lighter taste. The noodles were
not as firm as I wanted it to be but it was pretty good. The chasu was soft and
slightly sweet (which I love!).
