Monique and I had a late lunch treat courtesy of the Callar family in a ramen shop in the South Triangle district near ABS-CBN. You can zip by Kasuga Ramen House without even noticing it, so you have to drive slowly along Sgt. Esguerra St. if you are not familiar with the area. Parking is also limited, and while there are parking spaces in front and at the side of the shop, the staff told us that on some nights, you have to be prepared to look for on-street parking some distance away. It was close to 2pm, and we were lucky to park right in front of the shop. We had the place all to ourselves on a Saturday afternoon.
They have a wide variety of soups--clear or thick; plain, with miso or with soy; in beef, pork and seafood broth; with thick or thin noodles. The flavor of the broth is pretty amazing--flavorful, not too salty, and the soups arrive at your table piping hot. Portion size is reasonable.
The gyoza isn't bad at all, properly stuffed without going overboard. To have a full tummy, be prepared to spend something like P300 per head. They have smaller (and cheaper) merienda bowls, if you are not that hungry. At the time we visited the place, we had just come from a long fitting session with Angela's seamstress, and most of us had each a big bowl of ramen.
