noodleoodle

Ramen takes the noodle soup to extremes. There are some people out there that are crazy about this stuff. I’d agree that it’s something you could get fanatical about. I’ve decided to include a bit of Ramen in noodleoodle. I visited Ajisen Ramen. This place looked a little swanky but also sported a fair degree of cheapness that made me feel at home. It has a decent selection of Ramen as well as heaps of other stuff. Not quite sure abot the “Aussie outback Ramen”, I think this is a hybrid we don’t need! It includes bacon, sausages that look like Frankforts and a pineapple slice, shudder…

I had Chasyu Ramen, and it came in a big hot solid bowl. The noodles were a thin round egg, kinda like little spaghetti. It was topped with heaps of dry fried spring onion and some seaweedy stuff. The pork was lovely, with a great combination of soft fat textures and roasted stringy meat rolled and sliced thinly. There were condiments available, ground chili, ground dried onion, white pepper, chili oil, and Japanese Soy. The first of many Ramens for noodleoodle, I hope.

My Ramen cost $9, they serve Asahi and Sapporo here.

I’m a bit puzzled as to why on earth they would want to have a bowl of noodles with a question mark rising from it, as their logo.
