Finally introducing to you my FAVOURITE ramen in Tokyo! So there's usually 2 Singapore to Haneda flight that we take, the first one lands at 3.55pm and the second lands at 9.50pm. I'm usually the kind who gets VERY hungry post flight. Actually even during the flight I get very hungry too. So as much as I love the comfortable seats of business class, I'm actually really starving because they only serve 1 meal.
See see, this was my 1 meal on ANA business class. Porridge leh! Sure hungry what.
p.s: This was when I took a midnight flight. It was good porridge tho, very yummy.
At least for economy class, they serve 2 meals + the option of nissin cup noodle if I'm still starving.
I remember long long time ago when I was younger, my mom used to book first business/ first class seats on Malaysia Airlines ( last time it was really quite good, but now even you give me half price I also think I need to consider. Very scared the plane go missing until my body also cannot find leh :/ )
So yeah, I remember long long time ago they used to serve UNLIMITED food on business and first class. The air stewardess would come to you every now and then and ask if you want food. Wah, I used to stuff my face so much.
Anyway, so yes, usually when we land at 9.50pm, by the time we get to our apartment it's already almost 11pm. Nick likes to go to sleep immediately, but how to sleep if I'm so hungry right?
So i usually suggest that we go to the Afuri branch opposite our apartment.
What I like about Afuri is, its Chicken based soup. As per my previous posts, I'm not really a fan of tonkotsu broth * Think Ichiran*. Wah cannot la, if I eat Ichiran at 11pm thats the end of me already, I'll have Indigestion the whole night :/ I really enjoy the fish based ramen ( read here!) that's probably my favourite ramen soup base, but I can't go all the way to asakusa at night right ( also, because it's close at night ), so the best option is...
AFURI!
okay la, I just realised I'm making it sound like it's my desperate last option. It's not ok, I genuinely enjoy Afuri.
Afuri's signature dish is their Yuzu Shio (salt) Ramen 980yen ( pictured below). This is also my favourite item in the menu.
They add chicken oil to the broth, and you get a choice of whether you want Tanrei (normal) or Mashimaji ( more amount of chicken oil)
I usually get Tanrei because .. Don't eat too oily la huh. Bad for arteries ok! :p
My other favourite is Yuzu tsuyu tsukemen ( cold dipping noodles) You can request for the noodles to either come cold or warm. I like my noodles warm.
Their menu is quite extensive, you can check it out here (click)
Highly recommend ! And it's so easy to locate one too eg, roppongi, azabujuban, shinjuku.
