Harakiri’s Kamikaze Truck, serving ramen on wheels, was borne out of the need to innovate amid the Covid-19 pandemic.
Summoning the truck, as they like to call it, requires a minimum order of three bowls for P999
A MAKESHIFT food truck is going around the metro not just to deliver ramen but to cook it on the spot!
Harakiri, a restaurant in Taft, created Harakiri’s Kamikaze Truck with two ramen chefs and their kitchen equipment for customers to enjoy ramen the best way, hot and fresh.
Their Instagram page reads, “Driven only by our passion to serve great food, join us in our journey and experience Harakiri’s Ramen.”
While we cannot enjoy indoor dining right now, restaurants have adapted various ways to continue serving great food to their customers.
When the pandemic hit the Philippines in 2020, the food industry went into innovation mode with several companies venturing into ready-to-cook meals and frozen goods.
However, some dishes are fully appreciated when professional chefs prepare your meal.
Ramen is a great example of such a dish which is why Harakiri’s chefs, J and Jed, brought it upon themselves to brave the pandemic and cater to customers by cooking on-site.
The simpler the menu the better, or so they say, Harakiri’s Kamikaze Truck offers two ramen dishes; the classic tonkotsu and the spicy tantanmen, and gyoza as a side dish.
Harakiri’s Kamikaze Truck started its operations last August 2020 on Instagram.
They moved most of their social media on the video-sharing app, TikTok, and have already garnered over 2,000 followers.
While their newfound popularity might make it harder for customers to get slots and be visited by the ramen on wheels, the Harakiri crew can’t wait to serve more customers and their families.
Summoning the truck, as they like to call it, requires a minimum order of three bowls for P999.
Fill out their online form, wait for their confirmation, and expect the truck in your area!
Remember the Covid-19 guidelines and watch the chefs prepare your ramen from a safe distance and enjoy!
As the Greater Manila Area continues its extended enhanced community quarantine, small business owners are challenged to come up with innovative ideas.
According to a report by the Department of Trade and Industry on November 2020, 9% of interviewed small and medium enterprises say they expected to shut down permanently as a result of the pandemic.
Last month, President Rodrigo Duterte signed Republic Act. No. 11534, or the Corporate Recovery and Tax Incentives for Enterprises (CREATE) Act.
According to DTI Secretary and BOI Chairperson Ramon Lopez, it will significantly bring down corporate income taxes that benefit the micro, small and medium enterprises.
However, the impact of the new law is yet to be felt as the country struggles to face the new variants of Covid-19. (HD)
