They're very picky reviewers, complaining that the egg was quartered, not cut in half. <BR/><BR/>Sometimes you have to eat a bowl of mediocre ramen in order to really appreciate the good stuff.Susan Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12178330935523896363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9110153203470551170.post-22475256352812684742008-01-24T13:58:00.000-08:002008-01-24T13:58:00.000-08:00I, too, was totally sucked into the LA TIMES Food ...I, too, was totally sucked into the LA TIMES Food section cover story on Ramen.

I sent my dining companion to check out another noodle place. <BR/><BR/>Being somewhat of an expert in Japanese cuisine and culture, he had been to another noodle shop in Little Tokyo with Japanese clients. <BR/><BR/>There was no line at Kouraku on 2nd Street and the clientele was 100 percent Japanese, always a good sign. Of course, we messed that up, but the noodles were great, boiling hot and perfect for a cold night. I highly recommend it, even if it didn't make the rameniac's list. <BR/><BR/>I'll definitely return to Daikokuya, but not at prime time. I'll also be back at Kouraku. Perhaps you'd like to join me!Lillihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01533746021261520435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9110153203470551170.post-52622428762913055182008-01-24T08:18:00.000-08:002008-01-24T08:18:00.000-08:00p.s.

Hot, steaming noodles with a sprinkle of red pepper. Wow.<BR/><BR/>BTW, deep fried snickers are absolutely delicious. But, the newest rage is deep fried Coke. Freeze the Coke, chop it in small pieces, coat with batter, then deep fry. Wonder what's next, deep fried haggis on a stick?Piper Roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01550302409821659475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9110153203470551170.post-14215215824101115232008-01-24T08:06:00.000-08:002008-01-24T08:06:00.000-08:00Protective Big Brother Hat on: Well........do you ...Protective Big Brother Hat on: <BR/><BR/>Well........do you want me to take care of it in the old fashioned West Virginia way or are you joining the research? <BR/><BR/>When unknown revenuers came up the holler, they were run out with a shotgun. : )<BR/><BR/>Let me know if I'm being too protective.
