A Rainy-Day Pick-Me-Up 😋 Ramen and Okonomiyaki

Hello, Foodies! ✨🍜

Rainy and cold… not the best time to go out, but I had to. 😤 I headed to the mall to do some stuff, but as always, I ran out of fuel (or just an excuse to eat, haha 😆) So I looked for a Japanese restaurant.

I really miss Japan, specifically their food! Ahhh~ I remember slurping that good ramen.

Not too far from where I was standing, I saw Dohtonbori Okonomiyaki. I kept passing this restaurant but never tried it.

I guess it was time to find out. 😁

I was greeted by the staff and was seated right away. Not a lot of people since it was a weekday. I was handed the menu and was asked if I was comfortable with where I was seated. That was thoughtful of them, hehe. 😀

I scanned right away to the ramen menu. I wanted a warm and easy soup for the weather. 🌧

I scanned right away to the ramen menu. I wanted a warm and easy soup for the weather. Just wanted a warm to the soul goodness. 😋 But then I wanted to try their Okonomiyaki since it is in the restaurant itself. Hmm, I guess this is the restaurant’s best dish. So why not order it, right? 😌

I was sipping on my iced tea bit by bit while waiting for the food. I should have ordered something hot, haha.😆 It was cold, and the ACs in the Philippines are blasting like crazy. (WHHYY!?!)

But then I was happy that there were not a lot of people. I feel more relaxed while scrolling on my phone.

The star of the day arrived happy noises 🙌 ✨ The first slurp was the best thing that happened that day.

As if I were taken to the clouds of heaven. It was like a relief after much walking. I should have added a boiled egg.

The noodles were springy in a bowl of rich broth. Each warm bite had a nice depth of flavors, and yeah, the meat was tender. ✨🍜

I did not expect the okonomiyaki to be huge for one person.😯 Beautiful presentation. 🙌 No wonder it took 20 minutes waiting, but it was worth it. 😌

Thick and savory- that's how I like my okonomiyaki. 😉 The cabbage was still crunchy for extra texture. I added some spice and soy sauce.

_{Why was I using two chopsticks? 😆}

Alternatively, I take a bit from the okonomiyaki and a big slurp from the ramen. For a total bill under $20, it was a great meal. 🍜😃
