“Chicken noodle soup, chicken noodle soup~ Chicken noodle soup with a soda on the side~” Today we’re not talking about chicken noodle soup but something as yummy and as savory, chicken soup ramen!
Winter is coming, and what’d be cozier than staying indoors with a bowl of warm noodles soup? It not only warms up the stomach but also warms up the soul and brightens up the mood. Here comes 3 ramen places good for the coming winter.
Situated on the B1 floor of Wan Nian Building in Ximending, 吉天元 is defo not the easiest place for a first-time visitor to find. To make sure I didn’t have to wait for too long, I arrived around 15 minutes before the restaurant opened, and there had been over 5 diners queuing in front already. Better go early than too late, non? I ordered the signature chicken soup ramen with extra cabbages. The fried garlic really adds good flavor and texture to the noodles soup.
Golden chicken soup ramen with chicken chashu plate at 隱家拉麵 赤峰店
Located in Zhongshan district, the battlefield of Japanese ramen and cuisine restaurants. 隱家 still gets to be one of the most popular ramen places in the area. The day I visited was Sunday and I queued for almost an hour to get in. With the amount of time I waited, I did set a high expectation, and it didn’t disappoint me. The chicken soup ramen I ordered is savory yet not too salty, exactly what I like. Besides the ramen, don’t miss the signature chashu plate, it’s such a good combo if you are a carnivore like me.
Here’s another ramen shop in Zhongshan district, Totto Ramen Zhongshan branch. Located in one of the biggest shopping areas in Taipei city, it’s expected to see the crowd and spend time waiting for a table to dine on the weekend. After almost an hour of wait, I ordered the signature chicken soup ramen with pork chashu for lunch. The chicken broth they serve is more of a thick type. To my surprise, I actually like the chashu more than the soup ramen itself.
Always such amazing photography and food. That first Chicken ramen with extra vegetables is speaking a craving for me now. Do you remember all the vegetables that were in there besides the cabbage?
Hi @ChanneLing my partner in life Chris is Greek and often makes Avgolemono which is basically chicken and rice soup with lemon. So many different ways to enjoy chicken soup around the world. Thanks for sharing.
Hola @ChanneLing muy buena públicacion de los tres platos, se ven exquisitos. Gracias por compartirlos. ( Lastima que estoy leyendo tu posteo y son las 0.50 AM del día y me está llegando las ganas de comer uno de los platos) No en serio de ven exquisitos platos, que me imagino, como buen gourmet, habrás disfrutado.
And yes, these dishes are great for appetite and mood, though may not be a perfect choice of late-night snack as I may get edema the next day (as the soup could get too salty sometimes lol).
Y bueno, @ChanneLing habrá que acostarse más tarde y tomar mucha agua, es broma. Pero no hay nada mejor para los tiempos fríos. Acá nosotros hacemos en invierno una sopa con “osobuco”, un hueso de vaca, hervido y fideos o arroz y te aseguro que levanta la temperatura. Cuídate.
Defo a balance meal lol!
