It's Your Last Chance to Try This Rich, Heady Tonkotsu Ramen This Weekend
It's pure porcine heaven, and available only for a limited time.
(SPOT.ph) Tonkotsu or pork-based ramen is everywhere in these parts, but not all versions are equal. If your idea of the perfect bowl involves broth so thick and rich it just about reaches gravy levels, we've got just the thing. Surprise, surprise: you can get it at Ramen Keisuke Tori King, which specializes in tori or chicken-based broth but is dipping their toes into the world of pork for a limited time. Meet their Tonkotsu King (P490)—which you have the last chance to try at their BGC branch this coming weekend, on December 16 and 17.

Ramen Keisuke Tori King switches up from pork to chicken in new ramen bowl
“Once you take a sip of our broth, it’s unmistakably pork,” says franchise owner Martin Go. “That’s the [Keisuke] brand. Once you taste the broth, [you'd] know exactly what kind of broth it is.”
From the very first sip, there is no mistaking the porkiness of Ramen Keisuke’s Tonkotsu King. Remarkably thicker than what may be your usual, the broth resembles a rich gravy, pairing well with the tender chew of the ramen noodles. The ramen joint keeps this bowl simple, only adorning it with slices of chasyu that fall apart with a prod of your chopsticks, plus bamboo shoots, naruto, and ginger.
This intense pork flavor is achieved the same way they do it for their Tori King—by boiling and reducing bones, pork in this case, until it reaches the right concentration of thickness and flavor.
Ramen Keisuke Tori King’s Tonkotsu King is only available for a limited time for now—they held a first run last weekend, and the next (and last) run will be on Saturday and Sunday, December 16 and 17. Go shares that they do plan to open a tonkotsu-centric restaurant in the future (to be aptly named Ramen Keisuke Tonkotsu King). For now, make sure to add slurping this bowl to your weekend plans.
Ramen Keisuke is at G/F Tower 1, Corporate Plaza, 9th Avenue, Bonifacio Global City. For delivery orders, find Ramen Keisuke on GrabFood, Foodpanda, or Pickaroo. For more information, check out Ramen Keisuke's Facebook page.
