From @santoukasg is Spicy Shio Ramen ($16.50) which is minimally adorned with fried and spring onions, and comes with two slices of pork belly freckled with sesame seeds.

Your first spoonful of soup burns the back of your throat before heat slowly rises up to your tongue. Pulling up your ramen mingles it with the garnishing and reveals a small amount of chopped chilli that clings onto the tangled strands. Give this bowl a mix to allow the aromatics to highlight the light shio broth, giving it more depth. The noodles are cooked till just firm enough with two slices of chewy pork belly to pair with the mild and saltish flavour. It'd be better for me if the meat was cooked till tender for a melty satisfaction 😝 and if there was more, for heartier balance πŸ˜›
