Ichiran

Our original plan was to try out places in the fancy "Ramen Stadium" at the top of the mall. Along the way, we met an old Japanese guy who heard our Tagalog and who's been to the Philippines. "Do you like noodles? Go to Ichiran Ramen", he said. Since I have been preconditioned by Hollywood to treat old Japanese men as fonts of ancient wisdom, Ruby and I went to Ichiran. Man, that guy was really wise after all.
