Vicky first took me to the Shinjuku Ramen House along Makati Avenue in the late nineties. I remember the menu tags were in hiragana, and that we chose to have a bowl each of delicious ramen, accompanied by the best-tasting rebanira that I had tried. It was so good that we subsequently brought Lola Dee to the place. The management also opened a branch along Pasong Tamo, and just last week, we learned from Anita that another branch had opened along Katipunan Avenue, near the corner of Santolan Avenue.
Anita and Korina decided to have a joint birthday celebration at the newly-opened branch, and we had lots of salmon and tuna sashimi for starters. The main attraction, ramen, came in all sorts of combinations (e.g. seafood, pork, fish, beef, with miso, in clear soup), and after a while I got dizzy going about trying get a taste of all the flavors.
We also had additional orders of tempura and gyoza to share. The kids just love Japanese food and it seems that the dishes were empty in just under 20 minutes--can you imagine the pandemonium? In order to have a good variety, be prepared with a budget of around P600 per head. Since the restaurant gets full quite easily, try to come in early before the usual meal time rush.
