Ramen

I have recently discovered one of my new favorite foods since I have been a student here at UW. I owe my new discovery to the movie “Tampopo” we watched in class this past week. Ramen… it is simply amazing.

Since living in the dorms I have gotten to experience the joys of dorm food. However, I don’t think I am quite the biggest fan of the processed meals of Café 1101. In hopes to search out some new, tasty cuisine, I embarked on a walk down the Ave. When I came across a noodle restaurant, I wanted to go in and try it out since we had just watched the movie in class. I sat down and ordered the standard noodle dish with chicken instead of pork. Let me tell you that it was one of the best meals I have had in a while. Previously, I have eaten the typical “Top Ramen” or “Cup of Noodles” but those do not even come close to the ramen I had at this restaurant. It was fresh, full of flavor, and very authentic. I know I will be making many visits back to the restaurant to get a break from the café’s hefty meatloaf, nachos, or cheese tortellini.
