Flashback Friday – Chinese Noodle Soup Adventures

Posted on November 17, 2017 by Tablespoonsandteaspoons

Since the temperature plummeted last week, I’ve been having cravings for noodle soup made from Chinese handmade noodles or homemade ramen specifically. What I love about these noodles is that I don’t have the knowledge that the noodles are processed, what I mean is that it does not contain the durum wheat, which has been documented as a source for weight gain and obesity. In addition to the healthy appearing noodles, the broth is made to perfection especially on a cold winter night.

Below are places I’ve had ramen and or homemade Chinese Noodle soup that it’s worth the money spent and it’s filling.

Social Saturday: 24th Annual Japanese Food and Restaurant Expo

We happily attended the 24th Annual Japanese Food and Restaurant Expo hosted by the New York Mutual Trading Company.

This year’s expo had a better layout but fewer food vendors and sample products were smaller especially the ramen. There were new products, but last year’s food sampling was better. I felt that this year’s food expo highlighted the trend of shochu drinks, which is a type of liquor that can substitute for hard liquors such as vodka, rum and whiskey. There were more warm sake options. Below are highlights of event:
