Mactan has had a Rai-Rai Ken for the longest time, but they close after 2pm only to open at 5pm and they don't have proper airconditioning. At least not the few times we were there. So it was nice to see Gaisano Grand Mall open with a Rairai Ken branch. And we just had to try it out.
Bummer. Their airconditioning was not working too when we got there. They said that they relied on the mall's airconditioning which conked out the day before. And they had no fans. But that didn't stop us from ordering their Ramen. My absolute fave. Rairai Ken, I think, has the best ramen in Cebu, barring those expensive authentic Japanese places where you're forced to take off your shoes and squat like an Indian to eat.
This ramen is far from Japengo's version, which tastes like overcooked instant noodles. Dining at Rairai Ken is always a pleasure and for somebody who has a picky eater as a wife Japanese food is a rare treat.
This tofu soup came in free with the wife's order. We forgot to take pictures of what she had out of sheer heat and hunger. But she said it was good as well.
Rairai Ken is quite pricey, where a good meal for two people could easily run up P500 to around P700, but it's worth it. In fact, it was so good that the wife was terribly inspired that upon arriving home, she worked on origami geishas
and raped the kokeshi dolls.
Just kidding.
Rairai Ken had cool lanterns and great interiors too.
Now if they could only work on their airconditioning!
