Oh, shit! At last, they are serving Miso and Tonkotsu Ramen Bowls at our local 7-11 Stores and they even added that this ramen is best paired with a seasoned boiled egg. Ramen bowls are offered at P99.00 each and per egg is at P35 each.
Once we finally got the chance to get one (definitely made sure it will rain! because ramen are best enjoyed during cold weather), I had prepared my kimono and head to 7-11 to pick up the bowls.
We went after lunchtime and in an instant, we knew what was selling like hotcakes - there was only one Tonkotsu Ramen left on the shelf!
oooh, Okay. I see what's going here. There were so many stacks of Miso Ramen left, but we came there to try them both so we picked them up together with the hard-boiled egg.
The packaging:
Since we were picking up other groceries after this, we left these bowls to be picked up at a later time. Some of the broth spilled while we walked home. At home when we were opening it up, I had my partner open it for me, why? The lids seemed too soft to lift up, like the whole bowl will spill!
My partner wished that the bottom bowl would be a bit sturdier so that when you open the lid, the bottom won't come with it.
The moment we opened it, the Aroma of both Ramen seeped into my nostrils and I had mixed reactions. The miso one definitely had that aroma of "preserved", much like the strong aroma from Korean soybean paste, I'm sorry but it was a downer for me. But what caught my attention was the creamy colored bowl with a garlic-aroma and I can really discern the pork broth from it, it was so attractive to me that I can't help but pick it up.
I've taken one, two, and continuous sip to the bowl and I could not stop, like when Soma does this to his clients, gladly it didn't tear off my Kimono because I wasn't wearing anything underneath, haha.
The pork was so soft, I didn't need to bite into it, and the rich creamy taste makes it so addicting that I feel really hungry after I finished the bowl. I did not even notice, maybe due to my hunger, I finished the whole bowl.
Noodles are springy and slim, the servings seemed fair to me. It had a Naruto and seaweed side dish which are both soft and gives a touch of Asian and truly fun addition to the meal.
I had the seasoned boiled egg on the sides and I think it tastes fine. It was cold since it wasn't reheated, but it was cooked just right, the color is and texture are both agreeable.
My partner mentioned that Miso Ramen Bowl did taste like "Miso" for him, I did have a taste too but it really wasn't to my liking.
After this meal, we had other noodles because we were still hungry and felt the servings were not enough.
Overall, the shelves already demonstrated which one holds the strongest contender and I think I couldn't agree more that when I see another one of that bowl of Ramen, I will, for sure, pick it up in an instant before it runs out.
Which one of them was your winner, guys?
