Tsukemen - Robinsons Magnolia — Restaurant in Quezon City

This is one place that I don't really get the hype. Went here multiple times and tried the Gyokai Tsukemen, Tantanmen, and the Creamiest Tonkotsu Ramen.

The Creamiest Tonkatsu Ramen would be the best out of the choices. It's broth is really creamy, but the toppings seem to be limited only to a piece of Chashu, Menma, and a boiled egg. There was no vegetables on my side when I ordered it before.I don't know if it's was because the broth was blocking everything else, but the taste seemed monotonous all through out because of that. It's a good flavor nonetheless.

2nd best choice would be the Gyokai Tsukemen. It had the things that were lacking in the Creamiest Tonkotsu - variety in texture. At least this one had the seaweed and vegetables on the side. This one felt the most complete to be honest. But despite the broth being very concentrated, the concentration was still lacking for me. The sesame oil at their counter helped with the flavor though.

Going to the Tantanmen. It had the right amount of spice, but my order was just limited to ground pork at the center. There was no bokchoy like the traditional ones, 榨菜/za cai (preserved mustard), or anything else that would add texture to the dish. Again, it felt monotonous like the Tonkotsu broth but with spice in its flavor..

There are many more stalls at public eatery that deserves more attention than this, but this place might be overhyped. I may need to try the Rockwell branch next time...

This gem of a ramen stall is located at Robinson’s Magnolia’s Public Eatery. I ordered their Gyoza (which was forgettable) and their Spicy Gyokai Tsukemen (which was unforgettable).

The thick, wavy noodles was spectacular. It’s chewy and perfect for dipping. The sauce is masterful too with plenty of bonito flavor. I think this is the best tsukemen in town!

Come here hungry and order kaedama (extra noodles) then when you’re through ask for hot water, pour it in the thick sauce and slurp. Sort of...

Located at the Public Eatery. The Tonkotsu Ramen has 3 levels of intensity for the broth. Chose the basic Rich option. The milky white broth has a good umami with subtle pork taste to it. Thin straight noodles are easy to slurp. Firmness of noodles is around regular or futsu. Good portioning for a meal. Price points is average but other levels of richness in the broth will push it on the high side. Soft boiled egg...
