- In Paris, Tokyo Lamen (40, rue Ste Anne, near Opera) looks and tastes considerably more like the real thing than the somewhat overrated Higuma (a block up in the same street).
- Ramen and gyozas get two thumbs up, yakisoba wasn’t that convincing… but then again: who orders yakisoba in a ramen-ya? (an idiot, that’s who).
- When experimenting with a new ramen place, always order the miso ramen: less chances for anything to go wrong than shoyu or other more delicate ramens (says Saeko).

Haha! So how did your neighbor take to your sweet sonic revenge at 9:30 in the am last time? People can be pretty inconsiderate sometimes, so I hope he got the point when you started blasting music back at him.
As for that ramen a couple posts back, I know exactly what kind that is! (the really expensive kind for one, with an actual bit of chashu pork in a foil pack instead of a “meat flavored packet”. Someone’s got good taste!) Can I make a little confession? I never do the two steps of soaking the ramen then draining it (through that little perforated foil bit) then refilling it with hot water one more time - i just rip that little foil bit off, toss all the ingredients in there and then pour hot water once and let it soak. No muss, no fuss
Then again, at like 320 yen a bowl, I rarely get that ramen! For that price, I can go to an actual ramen shop! *laughs* Mmm… ramen… (guess I know where I’m going for lunch now…)
