Short Restaurant Review: Ramen Nagi Manila (SM Mall Of Asia)




A non-leap year calendar has 365 days and what does it mean? Simply, we have ample time to enjoy life! We are free to make our day a remarkable story. We have a choice to always choose happiness and positivity. Thus, no matter what, let's keep smiling and laughing, okay? Hello, Super Folks! How's your lunch? Well, if you haven't eaten yet, let me warn you, this new blog post may trigger your hunger. Alright, are you ready?



Konnichiwa! Welcome to Japan! No, I'm just kidding. I mean, welcome to the pride of Japan, Ramen Nagi! Have you heard of this restaurant before? If your answer is no, that's totally fine because I'm here, SuperMarkyMacky, your thoughtful blogger and I'm so ready to share, short but tasty review about it. You're welcome!



I don't know how many times I've said it but what I'm sure is, like many of us, I still believe that the easiest way to experience a culture is through its food. One nice example is when we go to a supermarket, nowadays, we can simply find imported products from South Korea like kimchi and soju. Even from Indonesia, the instant mie goreng? Try it, that's what you call, comfort food. Oops! Let me not forget the popular Starbucks and McDonald's, most of us know that they are both originally from the US of A and to be honest, even though I'm only here in my country, the Philippines, their cheeseburger and frappuccino always make me imagine New York City, the cultural capital of the world. "So, this is America. Awesome! They also love fast food, meat and coffee."


Butao- 390 PHP(roughly 7.65 USD)

Thank God, we have Ramen Nagi in Manila, I can affordably picture cities in Japan like Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto. I mean, no airplane ride, just a taxi ride from our house to SM Mall of Asia. It was last year when I went there to meet my college blockmates slash lifetime friends. What happened was so casual, like a combination of mini reunion because we rarely see each other and simple dinner of people who were craving for authentic Japanese food. It was my first time to eat in that restaurant, on the other hand, it wasn't my first ramen experience. No doubt, in Metro Manila, it's not hard to be a ramen lover because aside from Korean restaurants, ramen houses are like everywhere, you can find them from cheapest to most expensive and from genuine to fusion. I can say, when it comes to food, Filipinos today are more open to try something new than before. Thanks to thousands of reviews and mouthwatering pictures on social media sites like Facebook and Instagram.


Pork Katsu Roll- 295 PHP(roughly 5.79 USD)

"A whole new world, a new fantastic point of view". If I only had the guts to sing that song from Aladdin out loud when we were there, I'd do it, maybe next time? The resto was jam-packed with hungry people, everyone was so excited to eat, it was like fiesta! Ramen Nagi is well-favored from outside to inside, you can't go wrong. It's truly a tiny piece of Japan and yes, you need to try it. Like me, there are two things that you will surely love when you eat there. First, those cute and cool Noren hanging over the dining tables. According to Wikipedia, they are traditional Japanese fabric dividers hung between rooms, on walls, in doorways, or in windows. They usually have one or more vertical slits cut from the bottom to nearly the top of the fabric, allowing for easier passage or viewing. Exterior noren are traditionally used by shops and restaurants as a means of protection from sun, wind, dust and for displaying a shop's name or logo. Names are often Japanese characters, especially Kanji. Second, the Omotenashi sheet! It's not an ordinary menu brochure but it's your power to customize your ramen bowl. You are what you eat! So, if you're a huge fan of garlic and chili, never ever forget to encircle extra heavy and 6-10 spicy. However, if you don't have a choice, just choose chef recommendation. Itadakimasu!


Green King- 410 PHP(roughly 8 USD)

Apart from those, indeed the ultimate winners for me were Butao, Green King and Pork Katsu Roll. They were all savory and reasonable. Tell you, one ramen bowl can be shared among 2-3 people. I really can't wait to go back in Ramen Nagi, we had a wonderful mini reunion there. Are you free this weekend? Perfect! It's cuddle weather, let's order Black King and Red King. Game? Well, if you're still unsure, that's okay though. See you on my next post. Super thanks for reading, Super Folks!

Museo San Agustin Intramuros: Tale Of The Oldest Stone Church In The Philippines

It's not fool to say that April month is on its way! Aren't you excited? One more week to go and we need to turn another calendar page. What are you looking forward to? Yey! The long wait is almost over and I can feel the summer here in the Philippines. Without a doubt, one of the things you have on your list this April is "grand vacation". For students, definitely a much longer hours of sleep since officially most are already on school break this time. For catholics, let's not forget that Holy Week falls on April this year. Are you ready for the Visita Iglesia(church visit)? Well, you're maybe still on the process of searching for your seven churches and if I'm correct you might wanna consider  San Agustin Church especially if your route is just within Manila City. Aside from Casa Manila, this is also a must-see place in the Walled City, Intramuros . It was last year when I visited this church for the holy week also and that was the only time I had...

New Bombay: Authentic Indian Cuisine

Hello world! How are we doing so far? Are you enjoying your coffee while reading this blog? I hope so. I don't know why I'm so tired today and I don't feel like doing anything, I just wanna lay in my bed. Yeah, blame Bruno Mars! Just kidding! Yeah, it is a lazy day today. Sadly, as much as I want to sleep, I still need to finish this new article. Perhaps brewed coffee is the best answer to boost my mood. Oh my! Believe it or not, a new month is approaching. Happy February in advance! Time flies, I feel like this year for me is about food adventures. It's just my prediction but you know it's really not a secret that Filipinos love to eat and try new things.

Bauan, Batangas: The Immaculately Beautiful Sunset In Sampaguita Beach (Certified Boracay Alternative)

Describe, Boracay ? Beautiful and oh my, very beautiful! That's all I can say. Have you been to that paradise, in the Philippines ? Have you heard the news? It's been almost five years since I first visited this popular holiday destination in my country, merely to relax and enjoy life with my friends. I can say, it's truly a memorable vacation because it was also my first plane ride. Brrr! I still remember how cold the aircraft cabin was. It was freezing cold. Just like you, I'm also missing this true heaven on earth. I'm missing its powdery white sand, barefoot walking, Puka Beach , perfect turquoise water, dramatic sunset, super fun nightlife, yummy seafood, island hopping and my favorite ATV(all-terrain vehicle) ride. Oh goodness! How soon can I experience these again? Perhaps, tomorrow? Sure! Sadly, we can neither go tomorrow nor next week. "Breaking News: Time to say goodbye, Boracay will be closed for 6 months" . I wish it's a fake news ...
