Ramen at Torasho

So pleased to see the friends who're here for the month. The man managed to catch them when he was in London just two months ago, but I didn't. Nobody wanted to do fancy, so we went to Torasho Ramen & Charcoal Bar and got a nicely sheltered outdoor table.

It rained. There was a lot of lightning and thunder going on, but the storm itself didn't hit us fully. It was relatively dry in town. Dog jumped out of her skin and up onto my lap. She needed some reassurance. Okaaayyy.

It was awesome to chat our way through the meal and in kind weather. The most hilarious part — we didn't talk about SIFA prior to meeting; didn't even plan to see shows together. But we learnt that we ended at the same show on the same night, all without bumping into one another. Gosh! 

Shared easy skewers of prawns, pork and beef. For the meat lovers, they greedily ordered a Miyazaki A5 Top Sirloin (ichibo). Never could resist carbs, so we had the donabe with Miyazaki A5 Wagyu, Toro and Madai SnapperI finally tried the restaurant's ramen. We shared a pleasantly spicy Pork 'Bak Chor Mee' with minced pork and chicharron, and a decadent Cold Stupid Ramen (no soup) with langoustine, king crab, amaebi, uni, ikura and truffle kombu. It was tasty. I have no idea why it's called a bowl of 'stupid'. LOL Well, maybe there might be since few people do ramen cold and even fewer people would pay S$68 for a bowl of noodles. 😂
