Wrong Ramen: The Right Kind of Wrong

Wrong Ramen had it coming when they decided to name their resto "Wrong" Ramen for all the right reasons. They created buzz among foodies, ramen lovers, and for those who appreciate things out of the ordinary. They have "BAD RAMEN" written  in different contexts; in "pure pork fat broths" and "amateur chefs".  But the bottomline of it all, try it to believe it. 

This puts Wrong Ramen in a win-win situation. I bet they have two answers prepared to every review they'd get: a "we told you so" and a "thank you for proving us wrong" answer. 

I'd like to prove Wrong Ramen wrong today. 

45 minutes, and there's still a long queue outside the resto

After the busy lunch crowd, they close at 2:00pm and resume operations at 6:00pm. We arrived around 7:30pm and were wait-listed at #17. We got in almost half past 8 only to find out that two of the dishes we'd love to try out were not available that day, the Wrong Ramen Tantanmen and the Poop of the gods.

Surprisingly, this bad news did not disappoint us at all, probably because the resto will constantly remind you that they're bad (see photo below), so you'd expect less.

The place is really small, which explains the crazy line of hungry people waiting outside. Unlike J Co Donuts' mysterious long queue.

Here's the verdict:

Just like most of the bloggers who blogged about Wrong Ramen, I took time to take a photo of their cute salt and pepper shakers. 

The Bacon Katsu was perfectly fried, and the sweet wasabi drizzle complemented the katsu well. Three stars because I think it's too expensive for the serving. 

Their sesame seed mill goes really well with their ramens, ALL OF IT!

This is the second floor, could probably fit 20 hungry people or 15 normal ones.

Same goes for the first floor, this is their small dining area. The place is surprisingly cozy. <3

And now let's meet the ramens!

The Communist is made with 7 asian spices infused in a spicy pork broth. It's spicy alright, and the sliced chashu are cooked just right. The pork broth is drizzled with burnt garlic oil which was consistent, very consistent. 

They weren't joking when they said that this soup is rich. It has that milky goodness blending well with the pork bone and chicken broth. The owner calls this "liquid lechon".  

Of the three, the Sea Men Ramen is the most flavorful. The generous serving of seafood inside this bowl explains why the broth is good. When the Japanese invented the word "Umami", they probably had this ramen in mind. 

And what is a good ramen without runny eggs? But P55 I think is too much.

For such a limited menu, they could have at least made everything on it available. If this is their way of making me want to come back to try out the poop of the gods and the WR Tantanmen, it's working. But I have other reasons to come back of course- good food, good ramen.
