These are the buses that produces good food... Fugo Wagon and Hungry Rover Gastrobus.

Fugo Wagon

Hungry Rover Gastrobus

The theme of the place is "Tambayan" (place where you hangout - simple place, simple chairs and tables under a tent) where you eat your comfort-type, tambayan food like Pasta, Tapsilog, Burgers and Nachos. But the good thing about these awesome food trucks is that they offer you these kind of food with a twist! Something you'll not see here everyday in Dasmariñas City. 

Spaghetti Ala Marinara

Spaghetti Ala Marinara - It may look simple, but remember the saying "don't judge the book by it's cover"? This really is a one good tasting pasta! Kudos to Fugo Wagon. My heart sank when a strong wind blew this, spilling the remaining pasta on the floor. Anyways... next time I'll make sure to hold the plate while eating it LOL! =D

Eggplant Parmigiana

Eggplant Parmigiana - I love eggplant, and this ones awesome! It has cheese inside which made it even more better! I mean, I'm gonna order this again next time LOL!  But one thing though, the serving is a bit small. I was literally eating it slowly cause I don't wanna finish it right away cause it tastes really good! =)

Rover Burger

Rover Burger - The beef used in this burger is Angus Beef which really is tender and tasty. I really liked it! Serving is big too! The Nachos on the side is just so-so though... I wish they could have added like cheese on top or dip on the side. It's fun to eat Nachos with sauce right? =)

Wagyu Burger - Grilled, huge, tasty patty! So sorry... my phone's cam didn't give it justice, but we liked it! We just added ketchup, mayo and mustard, and voila! Like I ate a burger from a fancy restaurant LOL! =D I wish they can add more variety to this... Maybe veggies? Mushrooms with melted cheese? Bacon? Hehe! =)

I was planning to order another one, Angus Beef Tapsilog which I've never tried yet. Sadly though, Hungry Rover just arrived when we got there. There's no cooked rice yet, so we decided to skip it. But don't worry, I'll make sure to order it next time. =)

Overall... Food-truck theme is a great idea... it's unique. Food plating and presentation is not so good though. I mean, we get the idea that the theme is "tambayan", "backyard", "cowboy" type, but I wish they could have placed the food in a nicer plate, so that it won't be easily blown away by a strong wind since the place is in an open area. The Food is really good! It's not your typical kind of food here in Dasmariñas. So if you're looking for a comfort, but different kind of food... The Backyard Food Truck Community is the place to be! A must try! It will be a lot more fun if you bring your barkada! =)

Hokkaido Ramen Santouka

As promised... This is where we spent the 3rd day of our Wedding Anniversary. Sorry... It took me a while, a looooong while LOL! =D

Makati Branch

We've actually been to Hokkaido Ramen Santouka's 2 branches over these past few months, Makati and Mall of Asia branch. We got really hocked up with Ramen, and for us, this Ramen house offers one of the best deals not just because of the quality of their food, but also with their set menus.

For this blog post, I'm gonna show both pictures we took from Makati and Mall of Asia branch, so you guys can have a better idea of what Hokkaido Ramen Santouka offers. =)

Mall of Asia Branch

These are their best sellers... Ramen, of course! =D

Shio Ramen

Shio Ramen (Salt Flavor) has this light meaty with creamy, milky-like taste. It's tasty and my oh my... so good! The meat, soup and ramen... I mean... just wow! A must try! =D

Shoyu Ramen

Shoyu Ramen (Soy Sauce Flavor) has a stronger meaty taste compared to Shio, but not that salty type of "stronger". The flavor is just right, but you can really taste the meatiness. This one's a wow too... the meat is also tender, and the ramen is... wow! This is also a must try! =)

Hokkaido Ramen Santauka's Ramen comes in 3 different sizes:

Small - for the small appetite, feminine type of eaters.

Medium - for the regular type of eaters

Large - for the I'm-so-hungry-I-can-eat-everything, stomach-exploding type of eaters LOL! But hey! I'm serious! =D

You can check out the different kinds of Ramen they offer and their descriptions at this link:

Now, remember I mentioned earlier that they offer "Set Menus"? Oh yes, they do. For us, this makes them different and better compared to the other Ramen Houses out there, cause customers gets a chance to enjoy their other menus at a packaged price. It includes Komi-Tamago (Japanese soft boiled egg which I really like), Salad, Kimchi and Tea. Let's not forget that it comes with Unlimited Rice! =)

Tonkatsu Set, and Ebi Furai and Fried Salmon Set

Tonkatsu

Ebi Furai and Fried Salmon Set, Gyoza, Aburi Char Siu, Mango Shake and House Blend Ice Tea

On this one, we tried the Aburi Char Siu (the one on the grill that looks like a lamp LOL!) which for me, is just okay. It's good, but the quantity (it's thinly sliced) and price is something I won't really recommend. For us, it feels like it's overpriced. On the other hand, Gyoza is really good! Hope they can come up with a Ramen Set Menu with this one... They're partners right? =)

For our drinks, mine's Mango Shake and my hubby ordered the House Blend Iced Tea Shake, which taste like a regular iced tea... nothing special.

So for us, overall... We highly recommend you to visit Hokkaido Ramen Santouka! 

Awesome Ramen, great menu set, big servings at a good price! ;-)

The Before and After... Burp!
