Ikkoryu Fukuoka Ramen ~ Savvy about Nothing

Ahh, one of our old after-Yoga meals. Also part of the influx of authentic Ramen stores around the place, Ikkoryu Fukuoka Ramen is one of the newer, more popular ones. Located in my favourite 'hood, BGC, it was not long before we got to try this joint. Haven't gotten to try Ramen Nagi, though!

Black Garlic Tonkotsu, P380.00

Tonkotsu soup mixed with special roast garlic oil.
As I usually do, I went for the most unique thing on the menu, and black ramen fit the bill. It naturally did not have my favourite element of ramen, spiciness, but the strong garlic flavor and delicious broth still made this one a truly good meal. You are served some pickles and ground sesame on the side to add to taste. It didn't go too perfectly with my order, but I guess it's helpful in spicing up the more boring ramen types. Haha.

Ajitama Tonkotsu, P380.00

Topped with a special half-boiled egg that is fully marinated with a special blended soy sauce base.
A more normal ramen, save for the special egg that tastes so weird and so good. When we were served this, the egg was actually quite sour, and after asking the waitress, we found out it shouldn't have been. They were very nice about it and gave us a replacement for the egg. The non-sour version tasted even better. It was gooood. The rest of the ramen was quite flavorful for normal tonkotsu.

A pricy lunch, indeed, but sometimes, it's worth splurging on some soothing ramen to ease you in to the relaxed state of the weekend. :)

This was quite a while back, wasn't it? Haha.

Menu:
Ramen 1
Ramen 2

Verdict:
Black Garlic Tonkotsu: Good
Ajitama Tonkotsu: Good

Drop by and enjoy the ramen here at SM Aura if you haven't, then step outside and grab some lovely Pinkberry for dessert! They now have a branch in High Street, too.
