It's all a blur. I was hungry, cranky, and at a loss for lunch plans so after minutes of aimless wandering I found this intriguing Ramen restaurant just east of Concordia's Borg Cube.
I'm not usually a fan of eating in basements but the layout here made it feel cozy and that you could sit at the bar and peek at the kitchen goings-on through stacks of gorgeous pottery put my reticence on the back burner.
Service was swift and uncomplicated. I started with the Daikon salad, a crisp, refreshing little mound of happiness. This was followed by a large bowl of Ramen Soup, bedecked with Miso flavoured egg (extra) a thick slice of delicious pork belly - perfectly grilled and a concatenation of toothsome noodles and, I believe, sprouts. Toss a couple of fried tofu on top of that and you've got a soup worth writing home about!
While you're writing home, you might want to ask Mom to send a couple of bucks your way because although entirely worth the price it's still a little spendy.
Lunch, including a 200 ml bottle of Ramune Drink (think cream-soda minus the diabetic shock) that counterbalanced the inherent saltiness of the meal set me back seventeen dollars plus tip.
I was no longer hungry or cranky as I headed back to the office so my choice to lunch there was a complete success.
