Hokkaido Ramen Santouka at Serin Tagaytay
We briefly revisited Ayala's al fresco Serin Mall in Tagaytay and discovered a Japanese ramen and tonkatsu restaurant. There are two counters (sister companies) that serve different kinds of Japanese food. During this visit, we were only able to sample a few dishes at the ramen counter known as Hokkaido Ramen Santouka.
It was our first time to find this ramen place but we were told that they already had a number of branches located in Glorietta 4, Mall of Asia, Greenhills Promenade, Trinoma Mall, Eastwood, and soon to open in Nuvali.
This is the Sake Ikura Gohan or Grilled Salmon and Roe rice bowl. The bowl is not meant as a lunch dish but more of a side dish because the serving is small.
The Shio (salt flavor) Ramen is a signature dish and the broth is quite tasty. The quality of ingredients used seemed very good. However, the single portion of this ramen is just enough for a snack or a light meal.
