We tried out a new Ramen place in the South, Butamaru
So happy to meet Jerome Lim who is part owner of Butamaru and Chef. He worked in the Peninsula hotel and worked as commi chef for a few months then worked with the Cua family for 6 years. He is the cousin of Eric Cua of the Pho group of restaurants. He went to Japan to learn how to make Ramen and now opened Butamaru with 10 other partners including my cousin, Paolo Tantoco
Shio ramen at Butamaru @butamaruph Buta means pork. Maru means circle or round. This is the inspiration for Butamaru – Chasu in round, melt in your mouth slices
Cheese Hane (wings) Gyoza at Butamaru. They have 2 kinds on the menu – regular and curry. The Parmesan crusted Cheese gyoza is off the menu Super Yum! make sure to order it if you like cheese like me
Takana Chahan ( Japanese Style Fried Rice) at Butamaru. Chef Jerome suggests you eat it with the leftover Shio broth from your ramen
Dragon dance for good luck! Yay! It was Chinese New Year
Super yum Green tea gelato at Butamaru – the one and only dessert but a must I don’t really eat ramen but the others said it was good. James likes Tsukomen so since they don’t have it, he has no comparison. Happy to meet up in the south to try the eating places in the area
