The menu for the evening
The culinary offerings at Ramu are good, each dish thoughtfully crafted with a balance of fresh, local ingredients. Moreover, the dishes include bold, inventive flavors.
For starters, I indulged in the Ramu Salmon Yum—a refreshing cold plate featuring succulent salmon, pomelo, slaw, compressed tomato, and a vibrant kalamansi dressing. The freshness of the ingredients was immediately evident. This set the tone for the meal to come.
For the main course, I savored the Hibachi Fish Mangut, the catch of the day, expertly charcoal-grilled. It was paired with a smoky fish curry katsubashi and black garlic oil. The fish was tender and flavorful. It was complemented perfectly by the rich, aromatic curry that added depth and warmth to the dish.
But the true standout was the Fried Cuciwis with Hazelnut Soy Dressing and Fried Capers. The crispy kale, dressed in the rich, nutty dressing, created a harmony of textures and flavors. The dish was nothing short of extraordinary. This dish alone was worth the visit and one I would gladly order again.
To end the meal, I enjoyed the Kelapataart—young coconut custard paired with kenari almond milk coconut and vanilla ice cream. It was a refreshing, light dessert that offered a perfect conclusion to the evening’s flavors.
The ambiance
The atmosphere was further enhanced by live music, with a talented band performing bossa nova and jazz. The vocalist’s, Olen Riyanto, melodious voice paired beautifully with the guitar and bass, creating the perfect soundtrack for the evening.
