If there is one good thing about being stuck at home during the pandemic, it is that one doesn’t really need to mind the weather. In our pre-pandemic time, people’s everyday battle includes the stressful commute, the rush of the city, and during monsoon shifts, they also brave the rain while going out and about.
We are not saying that living in isolation during a pandemic is the best thing we never knew we needed. Of course, getting the Philippines COVID-free is still on top of our prayers. But, with the importance of finding little joy every day, it is nice to experience the rainy weather in the comfort of our home. And what better way to elevate the cozy experience than to have delicious meals to keep us warm.

Craving for something Japanese, then Tokyo Tokyo’s Cheesy Beef Ramen (P210) is the one to order.

What you should try as well are its other ramen variants to satisfy your cravings, from Seafood, Chicken Teriyaki to Spicy Chicken for those who like it with a kick.
