Fortunate...

Day 438:

I am very fortunate. There's no way else to say it. I may not be able to pay my electricity bill this month but who cares. I am living the life!

And I'm just glad I get to share this with you. Gamushara's ginger shoyu ramen is one of my faves.

It's not as strong as you would think from the color (as the assistant would say), but it's a feel-good-refreshing-warm-me-up ramen.

Have I told you how much I love my new blow torch?

Ahhh the green curry...as one customer once stated: "if this this tsukemen was ranked in a top 10, it would definitely get first!"

Somehow I agree.

And we're back...

Day 431:

Bassanova is now open for 2011! And of course the first thing I wanted to eat had to be the green curry. Ahhh how I missed thee!

Ooohh yes!

Shuga also brought some nama ramen from near his hometown so you know I had to give that a try too.

This one was from the town of Sano.

I always try to mimic the picture on the box using the toppings I have on hand. So what do you think? If I only I had some naruto.

This bowl was a refreshingly light shoyu ramen. The chicken oil tasted superb and the handmade noodles were very Sano-like.

Anyway, we'll be waiting for you at Bassanova!!
