Ukkokei Ramen Ron = Ramen Heaven


I had been craving for noodles (Ramen/Udon, etc...) this past few days so decided to go back to Ramen Ron. I've eaten there a couple of times, upon Keiichi's recommendation (he is Japanese and swears by this place).

I ordered the a plate of Gyoza (nothing really great but it's something to have while you are waiting for the ramen) and a Bowl of Basic Shio Ramen (with Pork)...can't really remember the name but this was as the girl told me, one of the best sellers.


All I can say was...that I was in Ramen Heaven! Delicious, tasty, hearty broth, slices of pork, lots of noodles. I am normally not a soup person, but this time, I practically finished all the broth I had this with some Chili power and Chili Oil, to give it a good kick. This is really comfort food, something that I could easily have once a week...

Next on my list is to try their special, off the menu: Tantammen. Its a spicy Miso Ramen with Ground Pork (if I'm not mistaken). They only make 10 orders a day and only served after 6 PM...and don't ask me why....but if you want to try it, you will have to be there by 6 PM....

Jojo showed me this place. I think he likes miso ramen. I like shio (salt) ramen with extra pork belly topping.
See you soon, Mig.

I just had the tan tan men. It's absolutely fabulous. Its Miso and sesame seed based. I assume sesame seeds were ground ala tahini. The seeds give the soup a tinge of sweetness. The shio, shoyu are both great but the tan tan men is the champion, very savory and the noodles are always cooked perfectly al dente. Ukkokei is hands down the best ramen house in Manila (and i've tried almost all).
