Kintaro Ramen

Heard about the raving reviews and brother's craving for ramen. Finally, we decided to go to Kintaro.

The appie - Japanese char siew

If you don't mind eating the cold lard entrained in the meat...Delicious it was :)

And now presenting the family of Ramen...the main difference being the soup base.






Except for this one unique Cheese Ramen!

Brother ordered this...crazy f00l! It sure was rich, but too cheesy for me, and totally killed the whole concept of ramen.

The noodles were good, almost like instant noodle, but upped a class :) The soup were tasty as well...hope it's not the MSG, but actual pork broth.

Definitely worth another visit.

Ajisen Ramen

Parents had to make changes to their flight home, so had a visit to Parker Place today. Nothing planned for lunch, we went with the closest and something out of the usual - Ramen!

I have always wanted to visit Ajisen Ramen, but was told to go to Kintaro down in Van. if I wanted to eat Ramen. So it's a good thing those naysayers weren't around today :)

Sadly, I can't remember what we ordered, but here are shots of each...


And another bowl...


Now that I've tried both Kintaro and Ajisen, to be honest, I can't really tell the difference. Soup wise, noodle wise, meat wise...they are very similar. Maybe I am just not into Ramen, but I love noodle soup, that's for sure!
