- Food Travel Log
- Foreign Japanese food is filled with quirky charm. In Baguio’s Botanical Garden, I found a Japanese food stall with “Tonkatsu Ramen.” The tonkatsu was actually chashu, the noodles lacked firmness, and the soup was not bad but diverged from Japanese tonkotsu. This is foreign ramen! Thanks for the memory!

- Tonkatsu Ramen is a creative dish that boldly fuses Japan's tonkatsu and ramen. Due to its uniqueness, it is embraced as a fun dish in some Asian regions. In particular, Baguio City in the Philippines, where Japanese cultural influences are strong, features its own unique Japanese cuisine in places like the Botanical Garden. Traditionally, tonkatsu involves deep-frying pork loin, but in this dish, it's adapted by using thin slices of chashu in the ramen. The texture of the noodles may vary due to local humidity and temperature, possibly requiring some trial and error. While appreciating this foreign twist, one might also find themselves longing for the authentic taste. Even if the noodles lack firmness, the way the blog post is written with decisive style shows a professional touch!
