Amen to Miso-Ten's Ramen!


YA-MI!:

I am not so adventurous when it comes to food.  I somehow go for safe dishes because my day will be ruined if the food I ate didn't satisfy me!  Hehe.  But while I'm "segurista" when it comes to food, I sometimes try new dishes and  I just know when I spotted a good one.  Before, I'm not into ramen but when my friends started to bring me to ramen houses, I became an instant convert!  :)  The problem though is that most ramen houses are those somehow hidden from the main roads and malls.  If there's one in the mainstream, the dish will definitely cost much higher than the usual.


But a new place solved that dilemma!  I recently discovered Miso-Ten!  It's right inside the mall (Robinson's Place in Ermita), it's priced right and the much desired RAMEN is there!  :)

 TADI ALERT:

In a conference of digital experts I attended, we talked about the emergence of people taking photos of the food they cook, buy and eat.  And we somehow realized that this is predominantly an Asian thing!  We call it foodporn, foodgasm, instafood and many other things but the bottom line is, it's our love for food and food pic!

And now, for food pornographers out there like me, this is our chance to get something out of the hobby!
