Some restaurants fade with time, others simply remind you why you loved them in the first place. Ten years later, the ramen still tastes like coming home. A personal review of Ramen Takara Browns Bay featuring tonkotsu ramen, smoky garlic miso ramen, sashimi starters, and consistent quality. It is funny...
After a beach walk with Coco, we stumbled across a Japanese restaurant that pushed us out of our comfort zone. Miso katsu, curry udon and creamy miso udon aren’t dishes we normally order, but they ended up being the stars of the afternoon. Katsu Tei Takapuna serves crispy katsu sets,...
Traditional Okinawan Tebichi Soba with pork trotters, bonito broth, soba noodles, fish cake, and kombu.

Seafood pasta bake with shrimp, scallops, squid and salmon in a creamy béchamel sauce topped with golden panko and cheese. Bubbling, golden and packed with seafood, this is the kind of bake that fills the kitchen with warmth and makes every bite feel like comfort. #seafoodgratin #pastabake If there is...
Honest review of YouMee at Phoenix Mall of Asia Bengaluru featuring Miso Pork Ramen, Sichuan Chilli Oil Prawn Wontons, and Mango Frappe. Craving ramen in Bengaluru led me to YouMee, vibrant anime décor, plump prawn wontons, comforting (but not authentic) miso pork “ramen,” and a surprisingly excellent mango frappe. Finding...
Filipino lomi fused with Japanese udon, made with pork belly, prawns, cabbage, egg, dashi, and sesame for a thick, comforting noodle soup. The last pot cooked on Swiss soil. Familiar flavours, borrowed noodles, and a bowl that quietly worked when we needed it most. #switzerlandseries #lomiudon #comfortfood #angsarap This is...
