This place is something we found completely by chance. It has an eye-catching exterior: a stylish building with colorful window art advertising their menu additions.

In my brother's quest to make ramen at home, he decided it would be a good idea to try out some ramen places in the city. The first one we went to wasn't exactly a "ramen place" because it only had two kinds of ramen on their menu, but it was a nice and cozy place. I imagine it would be a nice place to eat at with friends.

Years ago when a friend turned eighteen, we ate at Tong Yang Shabu-Shabu at Chimes. I remember that as a fairly pleasant experience so when we found out that there was a Tong Yang that would open in SM City Davao, we were looking forward to it.

Depending on whether the week starts on Monday or on Sunday for you, today still counts as the first week of January 2018. Unfortunately the only photos I have to offer for now are low quality ones from my phone and there's really no good excuse for that. But I figured in this case it's better to have some than none at all because I want to break out of the habit of making excuses not to update.
