One of our comfort foods on a cold, rainy day is hot noodles with soup. I don't know if it's universal but our tastebuds and tummies tend to seek hot meals when the weather is grey. While we don't make them at home nowadays, we enjoy them when we are out. The most recent was on Monday evening when we were on the road, returning from an uncle's place.
It was past 7 pm and we were still halfway home so we decided to stop by the Mar San Cafe for a meal. We had been there once earlier this year and enjoyed their baby back ribs so we thought we could check it out again.
We didn't have to think about what to have as we both wanted something steaming hot.

And so we got a bowl of spicy Ramyun for him (left pic above), and Mami (pronounced as MAH-mee) for me. We also ordered a serving of their Gimbap, which while the rice was overcooked, each slice was tasty nonetheless (a hungry stomach never complains, lol)! But yes, they were good that the hubby almost consumed them all while I was so busy feeding our Lil Guy. At least he left 4 pieces for me, haha!
You can probably tell that the bowls are huge and filled nearly to the brim. The servings were generous. The Mami (left pic below) had slices of pork, veggies (carrots and cabbages), a whole boiled egg and of course, the mami (flat wheat noodles) in a tasty, flavorful broth which made us think they had a secret ingredient as we could not identify the aroma./div>

Our meals were served after 15 minutes or so as there were no other diners at that time. Their speakers were loud though so the hubby took it upon himself to lower the volume. The cashier smiled when he realized what happened, lol!
While their playlist was to our liking (classic love tunes by local artists), we didn't want to hurt our eardrums, plus we could not enjoy our meal when the music volume was up.
Anyway, below is Yongi's pic from our first visit. That's one of the things we liked about the Cafe. They don't say no to pets.
Our Verdict?
We were full and satisfied and the overall experience was nice. It is an awesome and cozy place just along the road and that wouldn't be our last time. They still have various foods on their menu that we didn't try so there will be a next visit for sure! And last but not least, their staff are amiable!

It's common to us Filipinos to look nor taste a hot soup during rainy season, the famous one is lucky me beef or chicken which is more affordable, it was paired on dried fish and okra, for me that's the greatest combination. I also love eating soups specially pares which I prefer more than Mami cause I need meats on body hehe. Anyways, it's nice to know that they allowed pets inside, it should be normalize cause animal is not a pet but a family member.
Beef noodles with dried fish and okra sounds like an interesting combo but I'm yet to try it. Hopefully one day soon.
You mentioned 'pares' and it reminded me of my ignorance. There was one stall along the road and they had signage that said 'Pares Mami' and I thought it was the name of their business, haha! It turned out that it was one of their dishes 😂
You're right about pets, unfortunately, many establishments do not allow them inside.
Sometimes I also have a bowl of mami even in the hot months. Simple irresistible!🤗💚🫰
Nothing could go wrong with mami on cold weather. Perfect na perfect, and seriously no, kapag talaga malamig naghahanap ang bunganga natin nang mainit na sabaw, lol. Sarap nyan with egg pa ehe.
Haha, trueness sis. Sabi nga nung biyenan ko, puro pagkain nasa utak pag tag-ulan, lol!

Maybe the coldness of the rain makes the human body use energy to produce heat, and that makes people feel hungry faster. 🤔🤓

Noodles are my favourite but I hardly take soups. Everything in the pictures you shared seems tasty but fortunately, I just finished my breakfast. otherwise, I would be hungry to see those pictures.

It's good to have something hot when it's rainy
I agree :) It's warming to the heart and stomach :)
Masarap talaga kumain Ng mainit Pg umuulan. Samin nman gusto namin Ng MGA kakain nuon, like nilagang saging or kamoteng kahoy😁.
Oh my, masarap din mga yon sis! Yung nilagang saging lagyan ng condense 😊

which made us think they had a secret ingredient as we could not identify the aroma, I think that's why they are selling, lols.
I am beginning to think of foreign delicacies. Won't miss out to taste as much as I can when am opportune to travel.
Haha yeah. With many food places that sell almost the same stuff, MS has something we could distinguish it with.
I wish you the best and may you realize your travel dreams soon :)
Thanks friend, appreciating this encouragement
It's still very hot in the summer here for us, but once things get cold Ramen is a favorite among my family and friends for exactly the same reason - warm and cozy comfort food! The meal and vibe looks awesome, glad you enjoyed!
Summer days are nice but it could be inconvenient when it gets too hot. It's awesome to know that one of your family's comfort foods is Ramen :) It seems to be a common favorite.
It wasn't as popular in the US as I was growing up, but over the past 10 years it seems to be everywhere now!
It's the same here. This decade seems to have brought a lot of things to our places :)
Good day @ifarmgirl. The rain is seriously giving us cold over here. It's good to have something hot
Hello Christy, hope you are keeping yourself warm :) Rainy days are no fun but we gotta live through them :)
