Oh-Toro Ramen @ Costa del Este, Panama

Unlike the previous business trips, I did not get to stay in the hotel during this month-long trip and I have to take care of my own meal, which is a good opportunity for me to explore๐Ÿ˜
On one Friday, I went to try out the nearby Japanese restaurant which specialises in ramen and sushi.
It also serves various Japanese beers and sake.
The interior - a printed picture of Mount Fuji. Nice!
There is also Kikkoman soy sauce on every table. But it is imported from the US.
I had a miso ramen (USD13).
Tastewise not bad, very much like ramen served in ramen chains in Malaysia, except that the pork charsiu was abit tough. Other than that, all other ingredients were complete. I'm so contented with this meal.
I did not order any drinks, but they served me a glass of warm water FOC. Thumbs up for the service. I made a note to come back again to try out other items in the menu.

I could almost taste the delicious miso ramen you had there. Even though the pork charsiu was a bit tough, it seems like everything else was spot on! And getting a glass of warm water for free is definitely a thumbs up for their service. ๐Ÿ™Œ

The interior of the restaurant with a printed picture of Mount Fuji sounds really cool, and having Kikkoman soy sauce on every table adds an authentic touch to the dining experience. It’s interesting to know that it’s imported from the US!

Ah, their bus in your photo has a front that looks like a lorry.

I was thinking of ramen a few days ago and was contemplating going for it but request no noodles. But I was afraid that would be too weird. Maybe one day I will freak them out. LOL!
