&Joy-ing more ramen & pizza

It's been a while since we've gotten food at &Joy. I've always wanted to try the cheese-less tomato broth ramen from Ramen Kiou and now that I'm ready, it's no longer on the menu. That had always been on the menu for the longest time and I never expected that it would get "rotated out".

Ramen Kiou, green chilli tonkotsu ramen

Anyways there was a green chilli tonkotsu bowl. Didn't see this coming and it was actually kinda good. The heat from the sliced green chilli seeped into the broth after a while and also added spikes of heat. That green chilli sauce at the corner contributed more flavour than heat. All in all, I enjoyed it.

Ramen Kiou, snow crab ramen

The snow crab ramen sounded like it might be good. It was...unsettling and disjointed. The tonkotsu broth had obviously been flavoured with a crustacean flavour which in no way paired well with those paltry minced crab meat. Not to mention those small candied crabs they threw in. Those were awkward and added sweetness to the broth. Not in a way I liked it. Didn't understand how the strips of carrots made this bowl any better.

Pittarino, shirasu sakura ebi pizza

In other news, there was a seasonal shirasu & sakura ebi pizza at Pittarino. Nice garlicky and umami flavours on this one. 👍🏼
