Ichiraku Japanese Authentic Noodle Restaurant Silliman University Medical Center Branch — Restaurant in Dumaguete

Decent authentic Pork Tonkotsu Ramen in Dumaguete for those who crave it.

Lunchtime and Pork Tonkotsu at Ichiraku. Heard the quality of the ramen was one of the best in Dumaguete and so I had to try it.

P230 was good value. P20 extra if it was a take-out so decided to eat in.

Pork - tastes like chashu to me. Noodles - a bit soft and lacked chewiness. Egg - a little overcooked for me (see the dark ring around the yolk, and missing the soft centre - Filipinos prefer really hard-boiled eggs I guess). Soup - excellent authenticity. Portion size - light meal size finished quickly, but 2 portions is too much.

I would definitely return just for the soup alone, which is awesome. One can taste the effort of the long cook length of the pork bone to make the broth. The price is also nearly half that of Botejyu P455, although Botejyu has a slightly larger portion, the soup (tastes more like sopas) is nowhere near as good.

Service was quick, dining area had air-conditioning, no wifi for me to post my review. Meal was finished quickly though.

Wished there were more noodles, perhaps bring in my own to throw into the...
