Bari-Uma Ramen (Serendra BGC): Hiroshima Japan's Strongest Tonkotsu-Shoyu Ramen
Serendra, Serendra 2 Loading Bay, McKinley Pkwy, Taguig, 1634 Metro Manila, Philippines
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.

Wolfgang's Steakhouse by Wolfgang Zwiener: New York Steahouse Experience in Manila (One Bonifacio High Street BGC)
Wolfgang's Steakhouse is one of the top 10 steakhouse in New York. So, we're quite fortunate that out of its international locations, five are actually in the Philippines.
The family opted to have our C at its Bonifacio Global City branch because its nearer to us.
As shown at its website, all branches carries the classic New York-style steakhouse charm with a grandiose wine cellar.
Soups & Salads
The famous signature French Onion Soup made from rich beef broth filled with caramelised onions and crowned with stretchy Gruyère cheese is a must order too!
The Caesar Salad with Sizzling Canadian Bacon as add-on is our kind of salad! As you can see, there is an equal portion of greens and meat. The Canadian Bacon is tender, smoky, sweet and savory.
Prime Steak & Chops
♥ Porter House for Four 2KG (4,488/500 Grams) |
Of course, our main reason for dining at Wolfgang's is to devour its legendary prime dry-aged Porter House.
The Porter House is served in the "Peter Luger style." It is cooked in high heat to create a crisp crust that locks in the savory flavor of the meat.
Wolfgang's Steakhouse only serves USDA Prime rating steaks regardless of the cut. It is said that only 2% of the beef in the US market attain a USDA Prime rating so you can't go wrong whichever cut you choose. But, for some reason, we prefer the leaner porter house.
For a wholesome steak experience, we also ordered a bottle of Chateau Lamartine.
Tsinoy Foodies Verdict
When it comes to a New York Steakhouse experience in the Philippines, Wolfgang's Steakhouse is your only choice so there's no doubt that steak lovers will definitely keep coming back for it.

Potatoes are my all-time favorite vegetable because of its versatility. So I especially cleared up my schedule just to make sure I could attend the media event hosted by Potatoes USA, the national marketing organization for US potatoes, at Chef’s Table and Kitchen in Brittany Hotel, BGC last Thursday.
Chef Kalel Chan gave us a live cooking demonstration featuring two creative Potatoes USA dishes: US Potato Ramen and Mapo Tofu Potato Cheese Fries.
Of course, both of Chef Kalel's dishes were top-notch and delicious as expected from the corporate chef of the Raintree Restaurant Group who handles Chotto Matte, Saboten, Jones All Day, Friends & Family, Cha Cha's Boracay, Farmer's Table, and Izakaya Sensu. Who would have thought that you can make ramen noodles out of dehydrated US potatoes?
Following his lead, influencers did their (I only ate haha!) best to cook their own Potatoes USA dishes using dehydrated US potatoes and frozen US potatoes of various forms! As you can see there's straight-cut fries, wedges, hash brown, curly fries, etc. Another format is the fresh stock US potatoes which is available from November to March in select stores in Metro Manila and Cebu.
All forms are the same in terms of nutrients. The US frozen potatoes were quick-frozen to seal in its natural flavor and nutrients.
Moreover, every US potato processor has to undergo stringent USDA and US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) inspection and requirements.
Richie of Pickiest Eater and Reese of The Foodie Station |
There are various ways of cooking US frozen potatoes. The winning dish was cooked using this Salamander Oven.
Overall, we all had a lot of fun exploring the possibilities of US potatoes as a time-saving yet nutrient-packed ingredient.
