Hokkaido Ramen Santouka

For a friend's birthday dinner, we chose to dine at Santouka. Somebody's craving ramen..again XD We tried the Trinoma branch which is located at Trinoma Gardens outside the Cinemas.

 The place was spacious and they have a long table which could easily fit 15 adults which we reserved.

MENU (quite a lot of pages)

 Here we have the usual ramen with Shio and Kara Miso as their best sellers.

 Ramen Bowls (Specialty | Regular | Large)

The Verdict? Let me start by saying I like the place. It's spacious and they also have like a private room. For the ramen I usually order Shoyu (Soy Based) which I didn't regret one bit. The Shio was too plain for me and the Miso is also good but well I like Shoyu better. You can just add spices if you like. 

I also like the fact that they have set meals. Not that a bowl of ramen won't get you full but for those with big appetite the set meals' a winner.

The price was very affordable too. One bowl of ramen at other ramen places is just equivalent to their set meal (price based). Two thumbs up for Santouka. 

So yup we all enjoyed our ramen here at Santouka.

Santouka Ramen Branches

Buffet 101 : Eastwood

The first time I tried Buffet 101 was at SM Mall of Asia for our team lunch out. Now they already have a branch in Eastwood, Libis just behind Eastwood Mall.

The ambiance is just the same for both branches though I think the one in MOA is bigger.

I don't know why, but I think the food choices are quite limited? And most of them are already finished off.

My favorite section: Japanese

I think this is the only section I really paid attention to other than desserts XD
