The Tatler Dining Guide Philippines
Ippudo
WHY GO
Entering any of this international chain’s branches around the metro gives a unanimous feel: that of comfort and warmth through steaming bowls of Japan’s famous soul food, ramen.
TATLER TIPS
• Ippudo has put its heart and soul into perfecting each bowl by using top quality ingredients. This clearly manifests in its menu, of which the Akamaru Special stands out. Bathed in Ippudo’s original tonkotsu broth enhanced with a special miso paste and fragrant garlic oil, the thin, hard noodles and sinful pork belly slices all blend in perfect harmony.
• The torched salmon roll combined with mentaiko mayo fish roe is so delicious that you will end up wanting to order a second serving.
• Bring home a trio of the world-famous, melt-in-your-mouth pork buns.
