ULOG #36: Food Blog: Ramen and Cake
Rain is here to stay. Again. Hooray to all pluviophiles but nay to all heliophiles. We do have sunshine very now and then but 90% is gloomy skies and rain. Taking our chances, we went out and took a walk in the city. There is a new ramen place that I wanted to try. It turns out "walk" is more on riding the jeepney because it is the wisest thing to do.
All photos were taken using Asus Zenfone.
In one of the malls here in the city, they decided to set up this Ferris wheel. This is on top on one of the hills in the city which is a good location for it. If you don't own a drone, then this is going to be the bird's eye view of the city for you. You will also be able to see the mountain ranges surrounding the city. I have no idea when will this be finished but I am curious and looking forward to ride this to give you another vantage point of the city. Aside from this, there are also other rides available.
This is part of the mall's Sky Ranch project. This is a very controversial mall because of the trees they cut in the land where it stands now. With this project, they are being careful by constructing additional structures not cutting down trees as much as possible and working around them instead, which they should have done with the mall.
This will bring in more visitors and probably would decide to reside here as what others have been doing. The cool temperature of the mountains appeals to those who have had enough of the heat in the lowlands. If nature is not enough, then this amusement park would be another reason to visit the city.
Ramen Nagi
This is the new ramen place that I wanted to try. New to me but this was here since last year. It is only now that I got the chance to try it. For someone who was so used to eating Korean ramyun, this was a new experience.
The staff were courteous and attentive. There seats are like tiny stools with a slab of backrest but what is interesting is a basket under it so you can place your belongings. A secure and practical way. After you are seated, you will be given the menu and a sheet where you are to choose from the list what kind of ramen do you want, the consistency of the soup, the firmness of the noodles, what would you like to be in your ramen (garlic, green onions, cabbage), etc.
I ordered the Green King which is pictured above. It has cheese and pesto in it. My friend ordered Butao which is a classic ramen.
There is also a level of spiciness to choose from. It is advisable that for first timers choose level 1. Level 10 is the highest. I opted for 3. I was supposed to choose 5. Good thing I did not. Level 3 is just the right amount of spiciness I wanted. At first, you cannot taste that spiciness right away but it gradually kicks in as you keep eating.
There are condiments available on every table which includes pepper, chili powder, sesame seed, sprouted beans, etc. I love the taste of sesame seeds to I put enough in there to give my ramen that nutty taste.
Aside from the ramens, we also ordered chicken karaage. The chicken was marinated in ginger and then fried. There is fresh cabbage on the side and a mayo dip.
I haven't tasted authentic Japanese ramen and this is the closest thing to it. I would not say it is my fave and it is not something I would be looking forward to either. Let's just say it's not something I would cross off my list because there are still other food that I haven't tried.
La Parilla's Blumspie
Since we cannot have a walk anywhere else because of the rain. My friend and I decided to eat dessert. We have been eating at La Parilla but I haven't tried their Blumspie yet. Aside from the good tasting food, what I like about this place is the location, the ambiance and the accommodating service.
Blumspie is a mocha ice cream with a chocolate flavored crust. I like how rich the mocha taste is and the sweetness is just right. The smoothness and its creaminess delight the palate. I could eat this all day lol! It's a perfect way to end a day.

It's been a rainy summer for me too... but I guess rain is better than drought.
Extremes have devastating consequences. It seems the rain is making its round everywhere.
Yes... I guess too much rain can be bad too

This comment was made from https://ulogs.org
Eto nga yun haha! Oo nga e. Buti na lang talaga di level 5. Baka give up ako nun haha!
Sobrang anghang na yun baka d na ako makauwi pag 5.. pero ok cya.. authentic!!! May kamahalan lng pero ok na din big serving !!
Makakauwi ka pa rin pero iiyak ka muna at magkakasipon sa sobrang anghang haha!
Ag surrender nak..nxt time .. isama ko si @fherdz!! Makaya na data..
Haha! Go! Pang level 10 ba, sir @fherdz? :D
haanen tatan nakapsot nakon nga mangan hehehe.
Ah hehe.
Never in my life have I seen those dishes, but they look so delicious :D
I hope you could try :) It's good especially the chili and spiciness if you are into such kind of taste :)
I don’t like chili... but it sounds delicious!!
Now that you mentioned it, you are free to opt not to put chili for their ramen :)
Naku mayat ti maturog sir nalamiis hehehe
Hehe! Wen garud, sir. Mayat pay agkape :D
wen ah data ti haan nga mapukaw hehehe
Damn!!! IF I only was not lazy on reading the menu I should have ordered the Green King instead of the Butao. Cheese on a Ramen maybe is a must have for me. Maybe I'll try the Black King next after Ill try the Green King.
That I did not know but the cheese does make the ramen taste good. I guess I made the right choice for a first timer :D I will probably try Red King next time :D
You're right, a dessert in its proper sweetness makes it charmingly appetizing, I craved.

I can't finish a cake now if it is too sweet. Unlike before that I really don't mind. I guess taste and preference change as we age lol!
I love ramen!!! Do they have any vegan options?
Spiciness 1 - 10 seems like a huge range. I would have no idea which one I would go for but I know for sure that my husband would go straight for 10. He loves spicy food. He would be chewing on a chili like it would be a snack :)
I'm looking forward to the pictures from the Ferris wheel :)
Unfortunately, they don't. Our first choice was to actually go for a Pho but that shop was closed that time. There they serve lots of vegan choices. I'm not sure about the noodles they use though. I think either made of egg or rice.
Level 10 sounds too much lol! I would like to see him try :D
I will definitely share some the moment the Ferris wheel operates :D
That's a pity. I love Pho too! 😊
Now I've just asked him and he would go for 8. He said he had Madame Jeanette in the past and would never go for it again 😂
Maybe I can go for 8 as well but it would take a lot of coaxing haha! I am not sure if we have Madame Jeanette here. That's really high on the Scoville scale.

I can only tell you that he was very young and very stupid :D But at least he learned from that.
At home they usually eat very spicy food. His mom is a great cook but man, I'm sweating when I eat whatever she cooks. And then his dad would complain that it's not spicy at all and his mom would say that she didn't make it spicy especially for me :D and my mouth is burning :D
Do you eat so spicy in Philippines too?
It is the same thing here. We don't prepare spicy dishes a lot but we like to put/eat bird's eye chili in our food. This is a variant of chili that grows anywhere here in our country. Most of us in the family likes chili but my mom does not like it :)
ang sarap tingnan... nanosebleed ako ng konti sa heliophiles at pluviophiles

Haha! Bigla ko lang naisip. Naalala ko kasi name ni @czera aka pluviophile :D
Ehehe. Ako talaga ang naalala?
Not a fan of spicy food pero mukang masarap yan ah. Pwedeng pang challenge yung level 10. Hmmm... @leeart
