It was our first time in Uma Uma
Wonderful to know that apparently Uma Uma is an international franchise from Fukuoka Japan.
Having fallen in love with Japan since our first trip about 4 years ago and succeeding trips thereafter, we can not wait to try the food here.
What does Uma Uma mean? Per their Marketing Lady Ms. Nikki, Uma Uma is a play on the word umami which means delicious
To celebrate Uma Uma's six and a half decades of making delicious UMAzing Ramen, they are introducing the Uma Uma Family Feast
UMA UMA FAMILY FEAST FOR 4 P1980
2 Ramen
Choose from among 8 kinds of ramen in the menu for your Family Feast . Last Sunday, we chose Uma Uma Ramen and Garlic Ramen.
I loved how springy and flavorful the Hakata Ramen noodles were which is what Uma Uma is famous for.
Hakata ramen originates form Hakata district of Fukuoka city in Kyushu. It has a rich, milky, pork-bone onkotsu broth and rather thin, non-curly, resilient noodles - Wikipedia
2 Mini Donburi
Both Pork chasiu and Karaage were delicious. Chasiu were tender and flavorful. Karaage had a crunchy exterior with tender chicken inside. A little caveat though you may not be able to help yourself and order extra rice.
1 one bite Gyoza
Gyoza although a bit on the oily side were nonetheless flavorful. I did not even feel the need to dip them in their usual sauce. Their size was expectedly smaller than what we are used to. But hey its a one-bite gyoza
1 Yakitori Plate
Omg all five sticks just whetted our appetite for more. Good thing the prices per stick are wallet friendly.
1 Dashi Maki Tamago
Do you like eggs? We do for as long as its the Japanese omelette version. I can eat them eggs even if they are cold.
4 green tea
It refreshes and almost acts as sorbet (if you will), cutting through the richness of the ramen and gyoza. You can have it served hot or cold
4 ice cream
I was only able to taste the matcha ice cream. But it was so good. Silky and creamy, it caressed my tongue so lovingly then imprinted its flavor distinctly.
Alas I was not able to try their black sesame seed variant. Judging from the clean plates though and the fact that no one thought to leave me even a teaspoonful, Id say the piggery loved it.
A la carte vs. Family Feast?
As was my custom, I listed all the items in Family Feast to compare with the prices in the menu to determine how much my savings would be if I just ordered A la Carte...
2 Ramen P390 x 2 P780
2 Mini Donburi P220 x 2 P440
1 Dashi Maki Tamago P190 P190
1 One Bite Gyoza P190 P190
1Yakitori Plate P220 P220
4 Iced tea P35 x 4 P140
4 Ice cream P90 x 4 P360
TOTAL P2320
What do you know? This budget-conscious mom is happy to note that I get a hefty savings of P340 with the Family Feast Meal. I can just add P50 and I get another bowl of Ramen or add P10 and get a whole bowl of Pork Chasiu.
Value for money ?
Most definitely yes ( see above). Moreover, the family gets to enjoy the original Hakata Ramen served with aromatic tonkotsu stock made according to an age-old secret family recipe which made Uma Uma famous in Fukuoka Japan. Truly enjoyed the noodles and the flavorful broth.
Delicious broth, fantastic noodles, friendly service, international franchise from Japan, good price points, What's not to love?
Uma Uma is located at the 5th floor The Podium Mall ADB Avenue Ortigas Mandaluyong City.
