Ukokkei Ramen

When I had dinner and drinks with Marty, he mentioned a few places that eats in. At the top of his ramen list is this place on Pasay Road called Ukokkei Ramen. The place has a ganko chef who closes the restaurant as soon as the soup runs out. Anyway we ended up eating dinner there with Marty, Dino and Jenny. The next week, we decided to bring Lola there.

lunch set

I had this lunch set: miso ramen, salad, niku jaga (?), mabo nasu/tofu don. Pretty tasty but the soup was on the oily side. The noodles here are exceptionally better than every other place in Manila, and better than many in Japan. Too bad they are stretched by the time you are 2/3 of the way through (this is because the soup is nuclear hot). The mabo was very tasty and definitely worth eating again (although it is not sold a la carte). Not sure exactly why they served the niku jaga but I liked the chew of the potato. The salad was boring.
