Ramen Diaries: Kenji Tei Greenbelt 5

My uncle has a theory about BF Paranaque being the launchpad of established dining places in Manila. And I can't agree more.The legendary Conti's started here. Kenji Tei started as a small ramen house that rocked the ramen revolution.
 
They now have a place at Greenbelt 5 that has really nice interiors. The menu has other entrees aside from ramen. 

Appetizers:
Cheese Gyoza  (house specialty)
Imagine deep fried gyoza with cheese and cheese inside? Instead of shoyu you dip it in mayo with hot sauce. This one's really good, the gyoza skin is a bit thick though and best enjoyed hot.


Miso Butter Corn Php 258
We were a bit overwhelmed by the butter in the ramen.
There's just something about this dish that is quite off.



Gomoku Shio. This one is simple, memorable and good piping hot.
The egg is quite off, making it look like mami. Php 268


Here's their menu
