When my mom is dining with us outside our home, seldom do we have the chance to convince her to a Japanese restaurant.  But since she has been interested in Ramen some few months ago, when I suggested for RAMEN SORA , the supposed "no" became a Yes! It is always true, that one should not judge a book by its cover.  The menu of RAMEN SORA was somewhat shabby, but when I opened the first few pages, I was astounded by the informative content.  The spread above discussed on "How to Enjoy a Ramen" and below was a vivid illustration of the parts/ingredients of a Ramen.  How cool and enlightening! And this is how our actual RAMEN appeared right before our eyes, see photo below.   MISO DELUXE SORA RAMEN was recommended by the wait staff to whom I inquired as to which was their bestseller ramen. It costs Php 435.00, it was good for sharing up to 3-4 persons.   Comment on Taste:  A bit salty than my level of salt tolerance ...

Ebi Tempura or Shrimp Tempura is another Japanese dish that I love, aside from salmon sashimi, salmon sushi, miso soup and gyoza.  And to a foodie, like me, it is but a great delight to have a restaurant in Cebu City Philippines that brags to be the best tempura in Manila (capital of the Philippines located outside Cebu).  This restaurant is worth visiting indeed. The name of the restaurant is nothing special as it simply is called TEMPURA.  But its being sounding so simpleton makes its appealing as it does not need further elaboration on what it offers.  The name TEMPURA is so straightforward that allows no room for questioning and imagination. Fast Fact:   Tempura    is a Japanese dish of  seafood  or  vegetables  that have been  battered  and  deep fried . - wikipedia The restaurant's complete name is TEMPURA JAPANESE GRILL and has several branches in Luzon and Visayas regions.  The restaura...
