The mornings have started off cold and foggy.
We dress in layers and dream of the next warm cup of liquid as we get our day going.
Sunday before our son's soccer match we decided to get Japanese Ramen for lunch. Not instant ramen, REAL ramen.
We headed down the peninsula (for shopping chores as well, Target etc) and stopped at Dojo Ramen. They are known for spicy broth. The place is small (it seems most ramen shops are). We had to wait for a while outside, but by then it was pretty warm and I had a sock to knit in my purse. The menu is very focused. I got mild spicy for my first time to be able to taste the actual soup. I chose garlic pork flavor and added on corn and bamboo shoots. (I gave the quail egg to The Manfriend, shh, don't tell my Mom!)
It was definitely tasty and I would go back, but I prefer the old fashion version of its sister restaurant, Santa Ramen. (Which shares it's plaza with a Japanese grocery store AND a Joann's ... In case I need more comforting :)
oh yum! that makes my instant ramen look well....instant
