I have observed that most people let life's routine consume most of their time and energy. Yet, there are others, like my family, who seem to have an endless flow of energy and enthusiasm towards food discoveries and making more out of life. While I belong to the former, I occasionally allow myself to be dragged along for family bonding's sake. This time, we drove all the way to the south just to have some ramen at Sigekiya.It is located at the
Commercial Center. I haven't revisited that place for six years so I was surprised that it was totally different from what I remembered. It had a couple of stores and restaurants but not much people.
Seems Sigekiya has managed to have a continuous influx of people though.
I've read from blogs that
Sigekiya originated from
Yokohoma Japan and was established in 2010. I wonder why they don't state such in its signage though.
It's actually that fact that made us excited us to try it. According to their menu, they offer their distinct shoyu broth and grilled chashu. It also offered spiciness level for its ramen andtsukemen. Our server said that they were serious that level is 1 to 100.
Food
Side Dish![gyoza]( "gyoza") |
| Gyoza 5 pcs. (130 php) |
Gyoza is a must-order for the family. Having tried so many
gyoza versions, I could say that I rarely encounter a disappointing gyoza when it is served by an authentic Japanese franchise. This circumstance is no different.

| Chicken Karaage (180 php) |
Just like the
gyoza, we always order the
chicken karaage. This is the first time we've encountered the
Chicken Karaage served in chicken strip portions. We loved the idea cause smaller size means more crunchiness!
![okomiyaki]( "okomiyaki") |
| Okonomiyaki (150 php) |
We ordered the
Okonomiyaki because of the unique presentation as shown in their menu. Sadly, we still prefer the texture of the
okonomiyakicooked
teppanyaki-style on top of a stainless steel flat grill.
Tsukemen![tsukemen curry]( "tsukemen curry") |
| Tsukemen with Japanese Curry Regular (370 php) |
The
Tsukemen with Japanese Curry Regular is a good option to try. I had this at level 3 and each slurp was a comforting experience for me. I liked this better than other tsukemens I've tried yet.
Ramen![sigekiya ramen]( "sigekiya ramen") |
| ♥ Sigekiya Ramen Regular (360 php) |
We were impressed with their
Sigekiya Ramen. It's different from most ramens here. The consistency is thicker and richer. You could say the same for the flavor.

| ♥ Sigekiya Ramen Regular (360 php) |
It comes with a lot of toppings so expect it be a fulfilling bowl.
![miso ramen]( "miso ramen") |
| Miso Ramen Regular (360 php) |
The
Miso Ramen didn't stand out as something worth remembering. On the bright side, it still comes with their delicious chashu!
![jelly ace]( "jelly ace") |
| Complimentary Frozen Jellies |
Their Complimentary Frozen Jellies was unexpected yet well-appreciated! I liked the idea of freezing the jelly so I adopted it even at home. =)
Tsinoy Foodies VerdictI'm so glad I get to try
Sigekiya. Even with our 4-hour travel, I felt it was worth the try. (Well, maybe because I wasn't the one driving! =)
