iPhone 014/365 - Tom Yam Ramen

P710

There is a famous Thai restaurant named Tinun that serves a variety of Thai local foods in Tokyo. There is one at Takadanobaba that serves mainly Tom Yam ramen. It seems has developed to the Japanese style where you can choose your topping like spiciness and coriander, etc.

When I went, I didn't feel so much at a Thai restaurant, rather just another ramen shop that I used to frequent. Ordered my ramen -- which is Tom Yam ramen --, the hardness of noodle you want, and the topping, coriander.

With the way Japanese has developed its ramen, I can feel that if any Asian noodles were well accepted here, there will be a trend it will be advanced by the customers to gain its popularity and perhaps come up with another style of eating, like Tom Yam ramen. Tokyo has such power to me.

Wonder which would be the next runners up.
