Tokyo Tokyo launches the Ramen Bar

Amid the rainy reason, what better way to keep your tummy warm than to indulge in a steaming hot bowl of ramen?

Local fast food chain “Tokyo Tokyo” brings to the table a new addition to its menu that will satisfy your appetite for authentic Japanese flavours --- this time a “bowlful” of top-quality ramen.

Last August 8, Tokyo Tokyo formally launched the Ramen Bar in Trinoma which is attended by the media (including my team), press and local bloggers.

Tokyo Tokyo’s Research and Development Team have worked closely with a ramen master, discovering ways to deliver another delightful Japanese dish to customers. The end result was three exciting ramen variants: Braised Pork, Tempura Miso, and Spicy Chicken.

Food Tasting. Yes, we were offered a snack-sized bowl  of each variant! *burps*

The secret to these savory ramen bowls lie in the quality of its component. The tonkotsu broth is slow-cooked for at least 24 hours, extracting every single drop of flavour from the base ingredients. Ramen noodles are freshly-made, giving each mouthful just a right amount of bite. And premium-quality toppings, such as tender pork cutlets, succulent chicken cuts, and crispy prawn tempura, serve as a focal point for other traditional flavours.

The ramen variants are also best paired with gyoza, a Japanese-style dumpling of juicy pork and vegetable filling in a thin and slight crispy wrapping.

Customers can enjoy a ramen of their choice for PhP 99.00 (snack-size) and PhP 150 for a full serving.

To date, 20 Ramen Bars have opened since October 2012 (Trinoma branch being the first), with 30 more launching in the second half of 2013.

          

Tokyo Tokyo Ramen Bar is located at Trinoma; SM Southmall; Net Lima, The Fort; SM Megamall; People Support Ayala; Greenbelt; Market Market; SM Baguio; SM Fairview; SM North EDSA Annex; and opening soon in July 2013 at SM North EDSA Main, SM San Lazaro, SM Manila, Greenhills, Harbor Point Subic, Robinsons Pioneer, Ali Mall, Festival Mall, SM Dasmarinas, and SM Bicutan.

I was only able to taste the braised pork ramen because the snack-size bowl is already enough to fill my stomach (haha). Just imagine, we were offered to eat the three ramen variants!!! But the gyoza makes a great choice for side dish. :)

Have you tried the Tokyo Tokyo ramen bowls? Which variant you like most? Feel free to share your thoughts!
