Had to work out some bookings with Erica in Makati last Saturday morning, and as soon as our errands were done, we had a fast lunch at Moshi-Koshi Noodle Boss along Shaw Boulevard in Mandaluyong. Moshi, as most of you will know, means "Hello" in Japanese, while Koshi roughly corresponds to the Italian "Al Dente," describing the firm sensation of biting into properly cooked noodles. The restaurant is only a few months old, but slowly gaining a following. The interiors are bright, simple and relaxing. I understand that both the owner and the head chef are Japanese, which probably explains why the taste of the noodles was very good.
The restaurant not only serves ramen, but also has choices for soba and udon. Erica had miso ramen, while I had a tempura soba (prices range from P150 to P300 per order). The soups were very flavorful, and the noodles were exactly as advertised--thoroughly cooked, yet still firm and gooey to the bite. The chef makes noodles onsite, and the cooking process includes temperature controlled boilers that monitor cooking time--this ensure that the noodles are the right texture each time you visit the store.
