Ichiba
Japanese Market restaurant in Resorts World Manila can teleport you in a Japan
setting and it can give you a different experience in eating your Japanese food.
Inside the restaurant is all wooden table and bench similar to some ramen houses
in Japan and it gives a kawaii kind of vibe and I can’t help to say
“itadakimasu!”
I’ve heard of this restaurant months before on Facebook
and also on some blogs. So when I got a chance to be in Resorts World Manila, I
really went here to try and taste the food they offer.
Ichiba
is located at the 2nd floor of Newport Mall in Resorts World Manila. You can
notice this restaurant right away because its different and eye flashy among
other restaurants at the 2nd level. Also you’ll see that cute inflatable octopus
guarding the gates of the restaurant.
When I was in RWM last month, I
went here to check their menu, and then I learned that the pricing of their food
is very affordable and much lower than the food pricing of a Japanese
restaurant.
So my plan was..ok, on my next visit in RWM, I will drop by
here and try their ramen.
I invited my wife to dine with me, but she’s lazy
to travel, so when I got a booking to cover an event in Remington Hotel, I went
here right away as soon as the event finishes.

She planned to stay in café just to blog but I told her she can accompany me
to try and taste the food here in Ichiba. But her plan was ruined, because we
just chat and watch me eat my ramen haha.

a takoyaki store inside, where you can order for your table or just go straight
to this store and take home the takoyaki

PHP 100+

One
of the charm of this restaurant is that they have a display of live fish and
lobsters.
People can buy them on the spot and cook it while its fresh depends
on what recipe you want.

I just want the ramen and with no other
combo, because Im on diet and I don’t want to fill my tummy with lots of
gyoza.
I was looking for a pork based soup for my ramen, but they only
have this miso soup base.
For
me, it’s the best ramen!

I love the taste and the aroma of
their ramen.
The pork tonkotsu meat is soft and tasty.
I didn’t
ordered any soft drinks or tea to partner with my ramen, I just have water,
because I don’t want to contaminate my taste buds.
Their ramen is
delicious, and Im going back if ever Im at RWM again.
Im
satisfied and I found another restaurant that serves the best
ramen.
After
my ramen tripping, I went around Ichiba and see what else I can do.
I took a
selfie with this giant spider crab statue
At
the mini store inside Ichiba, you can dress up yourself as a fish or a
squid
This is for your photo op and Instragramish activities
Here’s
myself wearing a squid head gear..
I posted this on Facebook and told
everyone that I am now a KAIJU hahaha
I
found some Takoyaki condiments sold inside their store
I took a pic of it so
that my wife knows where to buy some.
I
don’t know what’s inside. But it looks like a cracker with crab flavor
Ichiba

They look like a toy but its
real food for the kids
