Kenji Tei Ramen House

Despite having limited time, I was still able to set some food trips while I was in Manila. I was craving for Japanese and so my Aunt suggested this new "authentic" Japanese place at Greenbelt. 

"Authentic" - During our entire dinner, we were the only Filipinos dining there. Most of the other customers were Japanese nationals. 


Salmon sashimi
Cheese gyoza - Fried gyoza with a cream cheese center and cream cheese dip. It's a good alternative to the usual gyoza if you want something different.

Crispy chicken teriyaki - Grilled crispy chicken teriyaki glazed in teriyaki sauce. I liked this. It's not as sweet as it looks. It had just the right amount of flavor and the chicken was tender.

Chashu Miso Ramen - Miso based ramen served with an array of toppings. We asked the waiter to separate the leeks on the side as I don't eat onions.
We were supposed to get the Negi Itame Ramen but I learned that "negi" - translates to onion leeks so we stayed away from that.

Beef curry rice - Home-made curry topped on rice. I didn't like this much. Never imagined a Japanese curry food. But my Aunt liked it. The sauce was rich and the beef was tender.
Iced Tea

HAPPY EATS! =D
One of the things that made me sad is that their table napkin didn't have the resto's logo. =(
Oh and their dessert selection ain't that great either. I was hoping for a wasabi ice cream but they didn't have that. Fail.








Ukokkei Ramen Ron

I've been meaning to use the Spot.ph Top Ten book that my Aunt gave me and here is where it led us...


Best ramen house in the city. (Accdg to spot.ph)

We ordered the "best" ramen.
Tan tan men  - They only make 10 bowls of this a day. We were lucky we arrived  early (5:45pm) else, we wouldn't have tasted this exquisite find. =)
My Aunt and I shared one order so we could taste other ramens as well. Notice the green onions on the side? That's my making. =P I asked them to separate the onions so I could eat with gusto. 
According to the guide book, Tan tan men is to be eaten paired with the Japanese egg below. 
And I must say, Tan tan men + Japanese egg = Ramen Heaven =))
Prawn salad - I also loved this! 

I forgot the name of this ramen... Yes, it was forgettable. I suggest you stick with the Tan tan men. =P






KAYA Korean Restaurant









DAK BULGOGI -This tasted like your normal chicken tocino

ugh. I don't eat garlic rice. This belongs to my friend and I had to place it a few dishes away from me.

Green mango shake <3

DOLSOT BIBIMBAP - Before mixing

After mixing -- So this is how to eat it. We SHOULD mix it like fried rice. =P

KALBI GUI - I loved this! 

We asked the waiter to cut it into strips for easier devouring.






RAMYUN - Spicy ramen for contrast. I like spicy soup when I eat fatty foods. =P
