If you've seen the movie Tampopo then you know how mabusisi it is to make a good bowl of noodle soup.
Erra's ramen stand in Adriatico St Malate (yup it's just a stand) though
not in the hifalutin level of the Tampopo noodle shop, makes a good
ramen bowl. This humble kiosk not only makes good ramen, it makes a good
under-P100 ramen, a true feat in my book. Just proves how one can make
good money on a single dish food business, just so long as it's done
well.

Thank you direk Jim Libiran (of
Happyland and
Tribu fame) for introducing me and my nanay, open source IT exec Deng Silorio, to this awesome nook. (I'm namedropping to point out how all walks come by to try this place out, from tourist types, taxi drivers, to various entertainers native to the Malate district.)

Getting there: From Remedios Circle, walk towards Malate Pensionne/Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf. Keep walking til you see the bar with flags. The red Erras cart share space with them. If you reach Nakpil Street lumampas ka na, atras =)
