@@5AMRamen I'm planning to travel to Japan next year. I'm super excited to do a Ramen tour! Edit: I'll have to add the Philippines to my travel destination as well after this video haha. Thanks so much for your videos!
I’m pleasantly surprised, i never knew you were half Filipino. Always enjoyed your YT and IG content. You are a big help in getting us educated with ramen, salamat!☺️
Frank, so glad you are back , I have been wondering when you would post another epic Ramen episode. Itadakimasu 🙏 . My favorite would be the Shio Paitan . The simplest form is best for me.
Frank!!! Wonderful seeing you back after what seems like forever!! The ramen looked pretty spectacular and I’m thinking I could go for the tantanmen bowl. I enjoy a kick that makes you pay attention lol. You’re looking well and I’m looking forward to more ramen adventures 😊🇨🇦
Thanks for waiting! It indeed had been forever... That tantanmen was special...busier than the other 2 but perhaps even more fun and tasty. Plan to have the videos going out more regularly again!
The creamy chicken broth is an interesting and original concept - for me at least. I'd love to try all the versions one day. Especially the tantan men. *This new format of the video worked really well, too.
@@5AMRamen I reckon that in Japan the mentality is "don't bother other people (filming, for example)" in the ramen shops, but I particularly enjoyed the fact that we could see your reactions while eating! 😆 Thank you! If you happen to find some chicken-centered ramen in Japan, let us know, please!
Frank, it was really interesting to see the paitan paired with chicken-centric "oyakomen" bowls. The tantanmen looked the most "different" and hence the most appealing to me. How much was each bowl? I've finally gotten my food coop to stock fresh ramen noodles from Sun Noodle and they have selling out fast with every order (so gratifying to be vindicated 🙂) Stay healthy, Frank, because we need a sleuth like you on the ground to bring us Ramen News!
Thanks for watching! The ramen at Marudori are about 430 to 490 Philippine Pesos (about 8 USD). The tantanmen was awesome. So nice you have Sun Noodles bringing the noodles there! It's nice to see Sun Noodles expanding too. Will be more ramen sleuthing videos to come! Finally can put up more videos.
💎✨👌 Looky you... branching out... expanding your horizons. That group is legendary bring 100% Authencity on the Ramen👑they make and serve in the Philippines!✨👍
Stewed tomatoes are definitely an underutilized ingredient for certain bowls. I don't know if you ever went to Matador's second shop when they were a miso shop, but they used stewed tomatoes which added a nice acidic break from the thicker rich soup. I hope they bring it back.
Which one of 3 ramen are you eyeing most?
I’ve tried their shio paitan twice already. I might go with the shoyu paitan next time.
Shio Paitan 😋
Love them all
@@anichristian7697 😋🙏
Shio Paitan. Other 2 look and sound excellent, too. Good to have you back.
Frank is back!
Yes indeed!
FRANK! we miss your ramen reviews, and your wonderful descriptions of the quality of each meal. Hope you and yours are doing well.
Right back at you! Hope everyone on your side is doing well. Thanks for waiting for so long!
Finally. Frank is back. We missed your very informative and entertaining videos
Thanks for for what was a long wait!
I'm glad we finally get a new longer form video!
Thanks for waiting for so long!

I am so happy to see you back. I would love to try the second bowl, that one looked interesting.
The chicken toppings were divine in that one. The mayu (garlic oil) took it to the next level too!
Long time no see.....so great to see your reviews again. Aloha
Aloha, and thanks for watching and waiting so long!

Likewise, salamat for following from before! All the best from Tokyo 🇵🇭
it is indeed good. that bowl really ignited my craving for paitan everywhere. The chicken slices really shine.
Glad you feel the same way and it's great that they're responsible for what's become huge cravings for Paitan!
Haven’t been in the Philippines in four years and I’m glad to see the ramen scene growing!! Cheers
It's grown a lot! I'm sure you'll feel the same when you're back.
I was just there! I'll have to catch these on the way back.
Please do, worth swinging by. Enjoy your time in the PH!
@@5AMRamen Made it back, took some friends. Wore some Bibs. No one was disappointed.

Thanks for waiting! More videos to come again...finally. That shio paitan was extraordinary - good call. Simple is best.
@@5AMRamen 👍👍😂😂yes, more videos coming
Wow ! This is so different
Chicken usage to the max!
Finally you're posting video again dude
I know...thanks a bunch for waiting!
@@5AMRamen man I was like, where's this dude going? My weekly Ramen video gone dayum 😂😂😂 I'm glad you're coming back and healthy man
All three look excellent, and have me craving ramen👍😊
As always, thanks for watching!
Finally a new ramen video!
Yes, FINALLY. Thanks for waiting!

Welcome back Frank.
Thanks! Thanks for waiting so long!
They all looked good, but I gotta go Round 3 this time. So much delicious Filipino food and ramen! It's gonna be a lot of walking...👍
Round 3 was a banger! Fully utilizing that delicious soup alongside some welcome heat and acidity. Yes, plenty of walking after that session 😅
The creamy chicken broth is an interesting and original concept - for me at least. I'd love to try all the versions one day. Especially the tantan men.

Happy you like the new format! I think it's slicker. Those chicken -centered ramen are waiting for you if you make to it to Manila 🐔

Having ramen tomorrow for our wedding anniversary. When we picked our wedding date, we were having ramen too hehe
Nicely done 😊 Happy Anniversary to you both!!
Oh man, that tomato chicken tantanmen looks amazing!
Soooo good

Yes, they are! So happy to see them grow and bring Japan to the PH in a big way.
I'm ready with my instant ramen 🍜
Nice! Makes it more immersive 😊
finally man lol lets goo

For sure! I have been to Matadors second shop - they unfortunately closed it down BUT reopened and are serving different ramen there.
If you're ever in Dublin Ireland try the Ramen Bar..some of the best ramen I've ever had.
Nice! Thanks - don't know when I'll again be in Ireland but have bookmarked it.
So you have eaten at every ramen place in Japan now?! Not surprised
Haha, I still have a ways to go...it's like looking up at Everest..
@@5AMRamen I know you can do it.
New sub from TabiEats and Amanda and Felix foodie ohanas !
Welcome aboard!!
it's my dream to eat the spiciest ramen in the world along side you
Haha, we'll have a gallon of milk on standby.
Green Curry tantanmen for the win
Great descriptions !
The green tantanmen was awesome!
I hope you try kinshaite ramen in tsubame niigata
Will add it to the list!
@@5AMRamen and also kakiya ramen in nagaoka niigata its near nagaoka dome
You should try lomi, mami and miki the best filipino ramen 😅
Have and love it 😅
WHAT YOU"RE SOMEWHAT PINOY????
Unfortunately, these are not authentic Japanese flavored ramen you will find in Japan. These are ramen flavored for the Filipino taste
