So there's about 30 ramen shops within 20 mins of my house but I've only been to 5 and normally just go to the same one every time because it's my favorite.
Tried a new one today.
PP: thick Yokohama style noodles, seared pork with blowtorch
NN: no egg, broth too salty, pork was chewy and old tasting.
Glad I branched out, but sad I wasn't rewarded with a superior experience as positive reinforcement. Another few reps at my fave before I try again probably.
