Mu Noodle Bar


Situated along the narrow strip on Wilson just past Guevara (past West Greenhills) is a small noodle shop named Mu Noodle Bar. As I sat on the table, I asked the waiter what he would recommend and he offered the beef ramen which was their specialty, and so I did. A few moments later, he came out with a bowl of noodles served in a stoneware bowl still boiling hot. On the side was a half soft boiled egg and some greens and sprouts to complement the soup. The beef, thinly slices of briskets reminded me of the New York style corned beef, medium rare spread on top of the Shoyu miso based ramen soup which was a good serving for 2 to 3 people. Hungry as I was, I finished the whole bowl. Upon looking at the menu, which consisted of Chinese dishes, I found out that the owner was a member of the family owned Mann Han chain of restaurants. I was surprised and glad to know that despite of the Chinese influence, Mu did a pretty good job of serving a Japanese style ramen soup!
