Hokkaido Ramen Santouka

Last year my dad had informed me he will be getting married in Tacloban the place his wife grew up in the Philippines . My dad said he would like all of his family members to attend since they couldn't go to the one in the United States. Carmina booked her flight during Philippine Airlines ’ year-end sale at the start of 2026. I told my dad about my travel plans for a short trip from Friday, April 17 to Sunday, April 19. My cousins also asked for my flight details so they could book the same flight. My dad said he will book my room for me sharing with two family members at Summit Hotel in Tacloban . Sending me the confirmation booking information for my reference. As the months went by, before I knew it, the big day had finally arrived—a rare event that doesn’t happen too often. Everything had been carefully planned by my dad and his wife, Tita Cielo. When we arrived, the check-in time was 2 PM, but there was a mix-up with the rooms.

Hokkaido Ramen Santouka

Today, we had no school due to the taal volcano as we are walking around U.P. Town Center you will notice lots of people are wearing mask to prevent inhaling the air.

The weather is drizzling and I am wearing a rain coat to prevent getting sick while other people are passing by me with no jacket.

My eye’s we’re everywhere when I saw so many places to eat and couldn’t decide where to eat. My stomach was already growling and I needed to think fast to build back my strength.

I came across and found something I decided to eat at that I have never tried before I figure this is my chance to write it up and put it in my blog.

This restaurant reminded me when I had traveled in Japan in my previous years.

Hokkaido Ramen Santouka is not just a ramen restaurant they have different type of Japanese to choose from and I was able to check it out for myself. My tummy has a happy camper.

For my appetizers I was able to try my favorite Kurobuta Gyoza with black pork dumpling for PHP 230.00 ($4.60)

I had also ordered Salmon Aburi with Unagi Sushi (Unagi, Salmon abun and Teriyaki sauce) for the price of PHP 310.00 ($6.20)

The popular dish chicken katsu with sake chanan (grilled salmon fried rice)

This rice doesn't taste like salmon more like crab, but the rice is still yummy.

This is a popular ramen they say is a signature flavor best seller Shio Ramen made with pork. There are two sizes for the bowl for regular PHP 385.00 ($7.70) and Large PHP 445.00 ($8.90). Honestly my family said, the large can fill up your stomach and won't be able to finish it all up. He wishes he just ordered a regular.
