Ramen Yushoken

It’s not every day that I drive to Alabang – okay, it’s probably not even every year, but since I wanted to support my friend Isis in her first bazaar at Cuenca for Soleful Manila (SoLa) shoes, Marco and I decided to head down south and show our love.

Priorities, priorities… love for food comes first.  Since Ramen Yushoken has been on my hit list for a long time, we stopped there first for our late lunch.  A waiting line didn’t discourage me and thankfully, less than ten minutes and we got seats at the bar.

The usual suspects of shio, shoyu, miso and tantanmen are part of the menu but I wanted a dish that’s not in black and white… one that I ordered under my breath.

Brotzeit Opens in Manila

 

“Prost!”  Throughout dinner, I keep hearing and exclaiming, “Prost!” toasting to the delicious Bavarian dishes in front of us and imported quality bottles of beer clinking.  Brotzeit, a German Bier Bar and Restaurant, opens at the street level of Shangri-la Plaza Mall, aiming to bring the widest selection of German Beers in Manila.

Brotzeit literally translates to bread (brot) and time (zeit), referring to a traditional Bavarian expression for small meals or snacks that is usually accompanied with fresh, pure beer.  As it is in the 11 branches in 7 different markets, all beers served at Brotzeit are brewed according to the German Purity Law of 1516, 100% natural, made with pure spring water and imported from Germany.

The casual dining atmosphere is accentuated with German-inspired wooden benches and a long wooden bar counter, which makes Brotzeit an ideal restaurant for families or groups of friends.

Not being a big beer drinker, although I love its malty scent, I focus heavily on the authentic Bavarian cuisines served by Brotzeit.  These dishes are perfect to be accompanied by the world famous German beers.

Gerry, or GSM as the group fondly calls him, my favorite foodie seatmate as of late, seems to thoroughly enjoy his meals with his beer. I take a more conservative route and ordered the Sanpellegrino Limonata.
