Shinjuku & Hana




11 Sept

Shinjuku Ramen House
&
Hana located inside Little Tokyo
along Chino Roces st. (formerly Pasong Tamo) in Makati


Shinjuku is well-known for their authentic tasting ramen and most especially their gyoza


Inside the restaurant


Spicy Tuna Maki


Chicken Teppanyaki


Gekikara Ramen (Regular bowl) Spicy!

Gyoza (8pcs)

Ebi Tempura (6 pcs)


Hana in Little Tokyo


Outside


Cooking takoyaki


At last, 6 pcs of Takoyaki (P100)

I must say that this is the best tasting takoyaki in Manila, somewhat close to Gindaco's. The difference is that they scrimped on putting various ingredients such as the octopus bits, red ginger, and katsuobushi flakes. It was quite dry and it didn't taste fresh as i expected, even though they cooked it upon order.


Gindaco's Takoyaki Boat with Egg Salad (SG$8)

Hana is the only Japanese restaurant in Little Tokyo which offers cook-as-you-order takoyaki balls, almost close to Gindaco's. Price is pegged at 100Php for 6 medium sized balls.

Chicken Charlie




right after exams with car, nats & jess :D

Hailed as the "Bonchon Chicken Shop" in Manila. Wings & Drumsticks!



Menu


Chicken Charlie Rice bowl= perfect lunch for 59Php


Chicken Wings and Drumsticks. in Soy garlic and sweet chili (those with tooth picks are the chili ones)

It is cooked upon order, so you get the freshest and juiciest tasting piece of chicken ever. The method of frying the chicken pieces were beyond the usual. I think they fry the pieces twice, then lathered it with their signature sauce of soy garlic and sweet chili.



It was great since it was not ordinary, it was different from the other shops that sell chicken wings. the skin was crunchy and crispy in a different way. You don't even need sauce to accompany your wings.


Chicken Charlie façade

Overall the chicken experience was delightful since it was beyond the ordinary chicken wing shop in the metro.

pardon the photos, all were taken using my phone's built-in camera :(
