I ❤️ Ramen Hidamari - Tokyo 2023 - 10-21-2023

Restaurant Review: A Ramen Revelation at Ramen Hidamari

During our stay in a nearby hotel, my friends and I decided to explore the charming neighborhood of Yanaka. Amidst our exploration, a craving for ramen led us off the beaten path and straight to the doors of Ramen Hidamari. This serendipitous discovery turned out to be a culinary delight that exceeded our expectations.

 

Ramen Hidamari is a cozy, intimate restaurant that can accommodate around 15-20 diners. The simplicity of the ordering process, facilitated by a vending machine, adds a unique touch to the dining experience. The availability of an English menu was a welcome convenience for us as international visitors.



We ordered ramen and gyoza, and were immediately impressed by the excellent flavors and quality. Unlike many ramen places that serve overly strong, salty soup, Ramen Hidamari's broth was perfectly balanced. The soup was topped with red strands, which we suspected to be saffron, adding a touch of luxury to our humble bowl of ramen.

 

The ramen was served with a side dish of pepper, allowing us to adjust the spice level to our liking. The bowl also contained bits of charsiu, which were mouth-wateringly delicious. The charsiu, grilled over charcoal, was perfectly fragrant and well-marinated. We highly recommend ordering additional charsiu to fully savor this delightful treat.

 

Ramen Hidamari is more than just a ramen shop; it's a culinary gem tucked away in the streets of Yanaka. The restaurant offers a unique dining experience, excellent food, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Whether you're a ramen enthusiast or a foodie looking for a memorable meal, Ramen Hidamari is a must-visit. We left the restaurant with satisfied bellies and a newfound favorite ramen spot in Tokyo.

I ♥ Puting Buhangin Pagbilao - Quezon (2012) - 09/29/2012

Image
I always pray for good weather when planning an out-of-town trip, as a typhoon can easily disrupt carefully planned travels. Fortunately, when we visited Puting Buhangin in Pagbilao, Quezon, the weather remained clear. I had been longing to visit this place since last year, but unforeseen circumstances always led to cancellations. Growing up in Quezon province, I felt a deep connection to this destination and wanted to appreciate the beauty of my hometown.   Initially, I had planned a solo backpacking trip and shared my travel plans online out of excitement. That's when I received a message from Mac, who expressed curiosity about my travels. I proposed the idea of going together to Puting Buhangin to cut down on expenses. Without hesitation, Mac agreed to join me on this adventure.   On the day of the tour, heavy rain poured down, making me fear that the trip would once again be cancelled. I reached out to Mac via SMS to confirm if he still wanted to go. If he had changed his mind

I ♥ PMA BAguio City 12/12/2010

Philippine Military Academy (PMA) Baguio Philippine Military Academy (PMA) Baguio was the first tourist spot I visited in this humble city. I went there last 2008 with my college friends and I really enjoyed our short stay there. There is no restriction in visiting the area. However, due to its gaining popularity they implemented policies that may annoy some first time travelers.  All visitors entering PMA must have individual valid IDs. A person without a valid ID can't enter PMA. If you're in a group and you don't have ID, you will be instructed to get off the jeepney at the gate and wait for your companions with IDs while they're enjoying the tour. Also, wearing slippers is a big no-no when you wanted to enter its premises. Even though you are wearing your expensive flip-flops the security personnel won't show any mercy and you may be force to await your companion at the gate. They promote wearing shoes because people who wanted to visit the area shou

I ♥ Batis Aramin Lucban Quezon 03/13/2011

  Batis Aramin Lucban Quezon Batis Aramin Resort, Hotel and Adventure Camp is just one of the few resorts near my hometown Tayabas, Quezon. We went there when we visited the well-known Catholic Pilgrimage site called “Kamay ni Hesus” which lies on the foot of Mt. Banahaw last 2011. You won't be lost to find the place because it is just on the other side of the popular retreat camp Kamay ni Hesus which is located in Malupak, Lucban Quezon. We don't have enough money to pay the 100 pesos entrance fee but because we wanted to explore the place we just made an alibi to the security personnel that we just wanted to do an ocular visit and see if we wanted to stay. The security personnel was very kind and he let the 5 of us enter the vicinity we just left our ID's for record updating.  There were a lot of guess that time. I saw a lot of private cars with LaSalle University stickers probably they rented the place for retreat. I never expected the resort to be so beautif
