I treated myself to some top quality ramen at lunch today. It was a place I'd not been to since pre-COVID, and is one of the mini chains in central London that is consistently rated as one of the best. It was great, but I was slightly surprised to notice the meat (chashu pork, and pork mince as I was having a gekikara spicy version) were both fridge-cold when it was first presented to me. The broth was fantastic and super hot, so I just dunked everything and got on with it. Super tasty.

Would that bother you? I always assumed the chashu pork was slow cooked initially, then fried to order before being put on the ramen. Hmn...
 
I thought you might reply first :p Yeah totally cool with it being refrigerated before serving. I get the process. Not sure if I feel like they’re cutting corners by not heating it up properly again though.

I was shocked by the price though. That particular bowl was £14.50 plus £2 for the egg! Not cool.
 
I just found the receipt and service was included too. So £18.50 something for one bowl of ramen and a tap water. Not cool, especially when there was minimal interaction for service itself (menu was a qr code scan etc, paying would have been too had it worked properly).

But yeah as above I’m totally cool with ramen being an assembly for restaurants. Just surprised me they didn’t warm the meat again. Oh well, tons of choice near my work. Sounds like I need to go compare them all now, what a shame :D
