For the longest time, my
friends/former classmates wanted to meet up and eat out and it finally took place in Ippudo Ramen in 3F Mega Fashion Hall, SM Megamall.
Some picture-taking for profile pictures :) The place has a nice Japanese feel to it, the lighting and the furniture is designed really well.
Actually, the nice lighting and the noodle bowls as background makes our group pictures look nice.
The details...
Plastic chopsticks |
Condiments |
Bowls as display |
Free Hot Barley Tea |
I always ask for free hot tea in Asian restaurants if it is available. I like drinking hot tea before and after eating (not while eating).
We ordered 2 ramen noodles. One bowl was shared by two persons because
we were full because we ate before we met and it was actually late at
that time but I think in Japan, Ramen is never shared so anyway.
Our food
Karasu Chamen (460.00 pesos) |
Shiromaru Tamago 405.00 php |
Ippudo Chicken Bun 100.00 php |

There are still people lining up after we left |
Ippudo was first started in Fukuoka, Fukuoka by Shigemi Kawahara, the CEO of Chikaranomoto Company. "Ippudo" in direct translation means "one wind hall", and this is named
because at the time, there were dark clouds over the Kyushu ramen industry, and the founder CEO Kawahara intended to "blow wind and revolutionise the era". The first restaurant opened in 1985, in the Daimyo District of Chuo Ward, in Fukuoka City. Gradually the number of restaurants expanded from regional areas to the whole of Japan, mainly in the Kanto and Kansai regions.
After writing this post, I just found out that Ippudo just opened last September here and is a very famous ramen house. No wonder people are waiting in line for Ippudo.
