THE ORIGINS OF GINATAAN
Ginataan, a Filipino culinary tradition, is the star of the Lobster & Crab Ginataan dish at Ramo Ramen Soho. This cooking style involves simmering ingredients in a rich and creamy coconut milk broth. The use of coconut milk is a nod to the Philippines' abundant coconut trees and the country's love for rich and flavorful dishes.
Ginataan is a versatile cooking method used in various Filipino dishes, from savoury stews to sweet desserts. It creates a velvety, slightly sweet base that pairs exceptionally well with seafood, as seen in the Lobster & Crab Ginataan. The infusion of coconut milk into this dish adds a unique and delightful twist to the lobster and crab, making it a standout creation.
THE CONNECTION TO ASAHIKAWA RAMEN
Asahikawa Ramen, hailing from Asahikawa in Hokkaido, Japan, is famous for its distinctive style of ramen. While Lobster & Crab Ginataan at Ramo Ramen Soho might not be traditional Asahikawa Ramen, it draws inspiration from the culinary creativity and excellence seen in this regional Japanese cuisine.
Asahikawa Ramen is known for its combination of savoury meat and rich seafood broth. Our combination crab-coconut and chicken broth reflect the ramen influence, offering a perfect balance to the dish. The fusion of Japanese ramen elements with the Filipino ginataan technique results in a bowl of comfort and flavour that celebrates the best of both worlds.
