Digging in at Ramen X Files
Saturday, October 06, 2012
A very late post on my first PG (Patay Gutom) adventure, after my surgery and therapy. Glad that I’m back to normal. Normal in the sense that I can again eat whatever I want. But this time, I have to be more careful because I’m still not cleared. Okay let’s go back to the topic.
As soon as I came back to work three weeks ago, our head nurse reminded me to complete my annual physical exam or else I’ll get a memo. So when Saturday came, shujin accompanied me to Healthway SM The Block to finish it. The physical exam was fast. I was just surprised on the dentist’s findings because I believe, I need to undergo a minor surgery (again?!) to remove an impacted tooth. But she only told me to have it restored (pasta) and do some cleaning. Anyway, we were so hungry after that and headed to Trinoma. Yeobo wanted to have another taste of Sbarro’s menu. However, I insisted to try out Ramen X. And I won ^_^
Ramen X is a newly opened ramen place in Trinoma which offers affordable Japanese menu. Prices for their noodles are just Php 99 to Php 129. Really inexpensive, ne?

The interior is quite big, comfortable and cozy. A great place for meet-ups and fan gatherings.

Since it’s our first time to eat here at Ramen X, we didn’t know that their serving is quite big. We’re starving that we ordered two separate rice bowls - Oyakudon for shujin and Katsudon for me (both priced at Php99)…

| … their best seller, Yoshi’s Ramen (soy based roast pork noodles with pork belly slices - Php159)… |
 |
| … and lastly two Japanese-style hotdogs, wafu dogs. |
The rice bowls are pretty fine. It’s just that their were too much onion rings on my katsudon. They are also serving unlimited rice but I believe a bowl is enough.
Its ramen on the contrary is really tasty. However, I can’t say that I can feel being in Japan eating their noodles. For me, nothing beats Shinjuku Ramen House in Makati for serving the best ramen. But I would still recommend Ramen X as an alternative though.
As for the wafu dogs, gomen because I wasn’t able to taste it as I was so full already. I just brought it home for my otouto. But I bet, with its look, it’s delicious as well ^_^.
All in all, I’m rating it as 4 out 5. Ramen X is located at 2F Trinoma Mall beside David’s Tea house.
