(Robinson Place Manila, Pedro Gil St. Cor. Adriatico St Ermita9 I must confess the photo could have been better. The reason its a trainwreck is because Ramen Nagi is one of the best Ramens on earth, and after a month in the Philippines eating disgusting under-seasoned, over-cooked, fatty, depressing crap I literally dug in before taking out my iPhone. Classic mistake.
Needless to say, Nagi do it right. I have eaten Ramen Nagi in Manila and Taipei and both were on point. Rich, well balanced Tonkotsu Broth, a delicious egg (which was on a side plate) and melt-in-your-mouth Chashu pork. Their spicy broth is actually hot too which adds a different dimension to an already fabulous meal. 9/10

(Level 3, Century City Mall,, Makati) As I was waiting for my Macbook to get fixed I ended up staying in Makati a lot longer than I hoped to. The only positive was that I managed to find an exceptional Indian restaurant, a very decent burger and a competitor to Ramen Nagi as the Philippines best Ramen.
This is most definitely not the faint hearted. Its Fukuoka style. Heavy, Christmas-dinner rich, broth. fatty pork and a delicious egg rounded off a superb bowl of noodles. The place was quite hip looking, up on the 3rd floor of the mall and there were a lot of Japanese people groaning and grunting as they tackled the hot beast. Most definitely worth a detour if you are craving a bowl of godliness in a country of utterly sub-par food. 8/10 |
