Ukokkei Ramen Ron

Ukokkei has done for Ramen what Yabu has done for tonkatsu (or katsu). I've never been a fan of either one but these two restos have made me rethink my outlook on life.

Yaki Gyoza Ukkokei
Yaki Gyoza - P120

They are perfectly pan-fried; slightly crunchy on the inside, soft on the inside. They complement the ramen well.

Japanese eggs Ukokkei

Creamy inside! But doesn't offer anything new to the table.

Ukokkei Miso Chasu Ramen
Ukokkei Miso Chasu - P380 

This is our second time to dine in Ukokkei Ramen Ron and I regret ordering the Shoyu ramen last time.  

Actually, there are 3 types of ramen to choose from: Shoyu (soy sauce-based), Shio (salt-based) and Miso (Miso soup-based). I believe Miso is the most flavorful among the three although some people think it's too oily for their taste. And to that I say, to each his own!

Ukokkei Miso Butter Corn Ramen
 Ukokkei Miso Butter Corn - P360

I really should try something else the next time I eat here. The pork, the corn, the butter, the miso... they just go so well together it's difficult not to order it again and again.

Best time to come here is during lunch time. The lunch sets are super sulit because they are inclusive of ramen and gyoza (for the same price of an a la carte ramen) :D However, we have yet to try the much-hyped Tan Tan Men. Legend says that only 10 bowls are served everyday, starting at 6PM.

We didn't have any bad encounters with the Ramen Nazi that everyone's been complaining about. We just came there and ate our ramen in peace (and delight).
