Hakata Ikkousha: Ramen Professional

Specializes in Hakata ramen 



Rich and Thick Soup 

The soup base is stock made from boiling pork bones for 24 hours to extract the rich collagen. This boiling method results in a thick soup that has no fat as seen when it is left to cool down for a long period of time. The ramen soup is also distinguishable by the small bubbles that float on top. This is the identifying mark of this area's ramen.



The smell is the one that triggers the appetite from afar. In Japan, these ramen houses do boil the soup for a long while and the very smell of the soup will attract the customers to come in.


Light and Delicious Noodles

The noodles are also distinguishable. These are thinner than most Japanese noodles. At this Japanese restaurant, there is a choice for the softness to hardness range of the noodles - depending on your preference of the bite.

Order According to Your Taste 

The primary soup base is used for the most popular ramen and changed by adding other ingredients such as chili paste or black sesame seeds. The choice is according to your taste, to include the heat level, salt intake, kind of soup variety, and how firm the noodles will be, and the toppings that it would contain, such as egg, meat, mushroom strips, and spring onions.

This is a distinct advantage as you get to choose your soup ingredients. For example, those who have a low sodium diet and have difficulty chewing would prefer to have the least amount of salt and the softest possible noodles. The condiments also add a dimension of taste such as that freshly ground sesame seeds. The meat and all the ingredients such as egg in these delicious, healthy, and highly satisfying ramen are all soft as it is a great soup.



Gyoza and Karaage 

To get to satisfy the crunch cravings, there is the delightful Gyoza and probably the best fried chicken - the Karaage is a must-have with an order of the wonderful Japanese rice.


Hakata Ikkousha is a brand from Japan that currently has 66 branches worldwide. 
Hakata Ikkousha is located at the Upper Ground floor, Expansion area, Festival Mall, Alabang

Sniff Dog Products


A natural flea and tick repellent that is great for dogs with sensitive skin

Our canine friends do get skin problems and when it is really bad, the poor dog will suffer greatly. Their fur serves to protect them yet the exposure to the elements, their health, their diet, and other things such as those nasty ticks and fleas, might make your Rover get to scratch too much or get to lick their paws until these are sore, or even worse with raw red skin areas, and more.

A happy dog deserves the relaxation free from skin problems and of course, tick and fleas. We do have a natural and wonderful smelling option, that brings about the light floral scent to our canine friends and to our home.

Sniff dog products are made with Madre de Cacao. This has antibacterial, healing, and works as a insect repellent. The Tagalog word for Madre de Cacao is "kakawate" . The leaves, bark, and roots of this plant is considered as herbal medicine. This plant parts are used by people who live in the Philippine provinces and in places like Latin America, Guatamela, and Costa Rica as a treat and/or cure for dermatitis, skin itching, wound healing, scabies and more. It is also used as an insect repellent.

Nala after her Sniff Bath
Sniff dog shampoo is a dark, brilliant green and does the task of thorough cleaning with high lather. It is very thick. The dog did not flinch when the shampoo was placed on the head and face. Her ears had dried skin and these got visibly better after the second bathing in a week. The fur was soft and voluminous after being air-dried. I personally tried the soap on my hands and it was like usual people soap and is non-drying, like the shampoo. The very fine dog powder is a clear stark white. The smell of the powder does mask the inevitable dog smell but is not overpowering.

Sniff dog products have received the feedback that it is good for sensitive dog skin, as mentioned by couple of my friends.

It is a natural alternative that will aid in prevention, treatment, and cure of dog skin problems and is a very good set of dog bath grooming products to have, as a little goes a long way.

Please note that relying solely on dog products to take care of skin concerns of our canine friends is not correct, as if there is a problem, one should bring the dog to a vet. 

And also note that prevention is better than cure, so take good care of your pets by using quality dog products like Sniff.

Puratos: My Bakery App



The best online shopping experience for bakery supplies and ingredients is made possible by Puratos, the generic name for bakery supplies stores in the Philippines. 

Pleasant Baker's Memories

I used to bake for a living. The time that I made cookies, my daughter used to sell an amazing amount of 800 pesos a day, with my cookies for sale at 25 pesos each. My daughter was in high school then, and that was around 10 years ago. Aside from cookies, I used to make leche flan, and other baked products like muffins, supplying a few stores. 

Being a home baker is something that a woman can do when she is to stay at the house to take care of the kids. It is highly profitable and a good way to make extra income and even earn a living. It will help keep more good food on the table as that is the results of being industrious and making quality food products that people will want to order again and again.

I remember when I sold leche flan, the profit from one sale would be enough to buy ingredients and milk and diapers from one of my daughers. Now, that is the provisidions that come when hard work is done, by God's grace and mercy, we can take care of our familiies by cooking, making no-bake products, and baking and selling what we make. 

The very word "Puratos" triggers wonderful memories of my grand aunt. Maybe many of you who do bake now have the same memory of their grandmothers and mothers who chose to shop at Puratos. 



Since the time I was young, I was a main stay in the kitchen of my great-grand aunt, Adelaida Lopez Locsin Ledesma. She used to make her own marshmallows and other baked products like caramel cake. She and my other grandaunts used to frequent Puratos to buy their bakery supplies and talk about what they had recently bought. That was quite a while back. She said that things were cheaper there and she would buy in bulk. Also, she had mentioned the fact that if you buy baking soda and baking powder that doesn't have the quality of the ones from Puratos and those with brand names, you would have to use double the measurements because those low quality ones will not work properly. 

Now, thanks to this digital age, we can shop at Puratos online.
