There's a distinct comfort from savoring a piping hot and flavorful ramen on a drizzly day. Fortunately, Bari-Uma Serendra Bonifacio Global City branch had available seats to grant us such comfort.
Bari Uma is a ramen brand that was established in Hiroshima, Japan in 2003. It now has several shops outside Japan (Australia, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore and Scotland) and has even been earned a top 25 food exellence award in Singapore .
Food
Japanese Pan-Fried Dumpling
While waiting for our ramen orders, we enjoyed this Gyoza. As you can see the they use delicately thin dumpling wrappers to make it so crispy. Yet, it is still effective in locking in the juicy meat.
Deep Fried Chicken
♥ Karaage (360 php/8 pcs) |
We also ordered the Karaage which is also a must try! The skin is very crunchy, the meat is so tender and juicy. It is evenly marinated with garlic, shoyu, vinegar and black pepper.
Ramen
♥ Ajitama-Uma (380 php) |
The Ajitama-Uma is labelled as the signature dish. Based on observation from the picture on the menu, the difference between the Bariuma and this is that this has flavored egg in addition to the pork-flavored shoyu soup and thick-cut chashu and flavored egg.
It goes well with the strongest tonkotsu-shoyu ramen broth made from high-quality soy sauce and pure umami extract - said to be made from simmering pork and chicken bones 8 hours and other ingredients such as chicken feet, vegetables and more.
If you like it garlicky, you can try the Ninniku-Uma. They also use
carefully select garlic.
There's also the Shoyu-Uma for those who prefer to have a stronger shoyu flavor.
Tsinoy Foodies Verdict
Go for Bari-Uma Ramen for high-quality authentic Hiroshima-style tonkotsu-shoyu ramen. The price-point is also unbelievably affordable for the generous portion and food quality.
