Brisbane Day 2: Ajisan Ramen @ George Street (Dinner)

We initially planned to go to Fortitude Valley and have dinner at Chinatown. However, when we walked past an Ajisan Ramen shop on the way to the subway and saw the photos of noodles on the wall, we succumbed to a sudden wave a hunger. In 5 minutes, we were seated in the Japanese noodle cafe and were studying the menu. Prices are about A$15 for a bowl of noodles.


I ordered the Spicy Ramen as I needed my chilli fix. The pork-based soup was thick and flavourful. The only thing lacking was the meat. I expected the usual slices of pork, but only a spoonful of minced pork was added to the soup.

Check out the Volcano Ramen. Doesn’t the chilli mound look intimidating? I was tempted to order it but held back. Getting the runs in a foreign land and during a conference is something I definitely did not wish to experience.

There was a special promotion on dessert. A$2 for an apple or pumpkin sorbet. Why not?

The ice-cream came in little carved out apples and pumpkins – so delectable. The fresh flavours of apple and pumpkin were infused deeply into the sorbet.

Simply refreshing!
