What is Ramen?
Ramen (ラーメン rāmen?,
IPA: [ɽaːmeɴ])
is a Japanese noodle dish. It consists of Chinese-style wheat noodles served in a meat- or (occasionally) fish-based broth, often flavored with soy sauce
or miso,
and uses toppings
such as sliced pork
(チャーシュー chāshū?),
dried seaweed
(海苔 nori?),
kamaboko,
green onions,
and occasionally corn.
Almost every locality in Japan has its own variation of ramen, from the tonkotsu
(pork bone broth) ramen of Kyushu to the miso ramen of Hokkaido.
What is Bar?
1. A long rod or rigid piece of wood,
metal, or similar material, typically used as an obstruction, fastening, or
weapon.
2. A unit of pressure equivalent to a hundred
thousand newtons per square meter or approximately one atmosphere.

So
many ramen places popping up in the metro, you just can't figure where to go
right? But of course, we take note of where to find worthy and great
tasting authentic Ramen places without leaving a big dent on your wallet, and
Ramen Bar is definitely on that list
A
ramen place here, a ramen place there, wow they're like mushrooms all over and
more are opening as days go by, but we at The Food Alphabet loves Ramen Bar,
not just because it serves up real good ramen, but it's also a nice place to unwind
with friends and family.
Ramen bar also has delightful
appetizer treats that is unique to them other than serving the usual Gyoza,
they do add a little twist in what we are usually are familiar with and here
are some of their creations.
Cheese
Gyoza (P180), Cheese infused pork gyoza fried to
a crisp, not your ordinary pan fried gyoza, but these are crisp and good, talk
about the melted cheese and also try their Chicken Karaage (P155), where
you dip in a salt-pepper grind mix, just like the ones you have when eating
pigeons at Chinese restaurants.
Spicy
Kakuni Buns (P220)
It delights me to say that even though Ramen Bar
is purely born here in the Philippines, it does not lose out to Japanese-based
ramen places that opened in the metro. Their noodles are so firm and
tasty to the bite, every strand seems to pack with flavor and you'd know it was
made with love for ramen.
