Shop B, G/F
20-22 Wun Sha Street
Tai Hang, Hong Kong.
Tugged away inside a small street in the sleepy part of HK Island,
Ramen Kureha sports such a cartoonish facade that it looks like
it was lifted out of the midpages of a Japanese manga. The interior,
adorned with corny toy miniatures, effused the touch of a charismatic,
jovial spirit. The order was the house special, "Soulful" (魂の一杯),
which was basically a chashu ramen with a seriously thick soup base. The
chashu was a disappointment as it came out dry and without any
discernible taste. The soup base was so thick it could double as a
nice gravy for rice or spaghetti. The noodles, the only redeemer of
the lot, came out al dente as ordered and got some lovely, tangy bite.
At 98 HKD, it wasn't the most expensive in this expensive town but
didn't prevail as a bargain.
