(SPOT.ph) We'd like to think we're not alone in wanting to snuggle up under our blankets given the chilly weather as of late. We don't mean that in a bad way, mind you—with the cold comes ramen weather, a.k.a. our favorite excuse to tuck into a piping-hot bowl of the Japanese noodle soup. In recent months we've grown obsessed with the winning bowls of Ramen Ron in Rockwell, and they recently came out with a new flavor variation: Meet their new Seafood Ramen.

There's a new bowl at Ramen Ron and it's just the thing for your see-food—er, seafood—diet:
Ramen Ron's new Seafood Ramen (P610) features an assortment of bounty from under the sea: we're talking shrimp, squid, kani (crabsticks), clams, and nori. The soup part of the equation comes in the form of Ramen Ron's ukokkei broth tinged with miso, and with the restaurant's springy noodles serving as the base, you get hearty slurps that bring together the best of the land and the sea.
You can, of course, just have the ramen on its own—or, do as Chef Tamura recommends and add on their recommended toppings. Take your pick from the aji tamago or marinated soft-boiled egg (P80), sweet corn (P60), and/or naruto a.k.a. Japanese fish cake (P60). Heck, just get all of them and make it a party.
In between slurps of the ramen, it's worth noshing on a savory side—and the new Mushroom Bun (P175) is a stellar choice if you're looking to change it up from Ramen Ron's winning gyoza. In between fluffy steamed buns is a mixture of shiitake mushrooms stir-fried with a homemade sauce, pickled cucumbers, crispy onions, and spring onions for added zest. (It's vegetarian, too!) And matcha mavens, you'll want to leave room for dessert—specifically the new Matcha Soft Cream (P205), a cup of their own green tea soft-serve topped with caramelized cornflakes for crunch and a homemade cookie biscuit.
Ramen Ron is the reincarnation of OG ramen spot Ukokkei Ramen Ron, led by Chef Tamura along with Chef Margarita Fores and her son Amado. They began selling DIY kit versions of Ukokkei Ramen Ron's famous bowls for delivery before opening their own dine-in restaurant in December.
Ramen Ron is at G/F, RS-103, Edades Tower, Amorsolo Drive, Rockwell Center, Makati City. For more information, check out Ramen Ron's Facebook page.
