Ramen Craze

It's the last day we're in Japan and I couldn't leave without having one last bowl of ramen. Even since we stepped onto Japanese soil, dad and I have had a bowl of ramen every night except for the 2 nights at Disneyland, and even then, we had udon and pasta. 

So after we did our final bit of shopping, we went to get ourselves a bowl of ramen from one of the shops close to the hotel. We ended up skipping 2 shops due to the lunch crowd and decided to look at what one of the smaller alleys might offer. Lucky for us, there was a shop that placed pictured of it's ramen at the door and that ramen looked awesome. Luckier still was that it was slightly larger and less crowded than other shops. In we went, and got ourselves some meal tickets. 

Dad and I ordered the same thing and I found some garlic and garlic press among the condiments they offered. After eating at a few stores, it seems that foreigners aren't big fans of garlic, but I am, and I love my food spicy. When the opportunity to play with my food came about I'd take it, and I definitely had a blast with this one. Don't get me wrong though, the ramen that originally came was really hearty and so good, dad was already halfway through his by the time I finished pressing my garlic. The addition of fresh garlic, chilli powder and chilli oil just made it AWESOME!

Can you tell I've got a noodle obsession?
