I heard that there’s a quite famous Japanese ramen shop in Luodong, near the Luodong Cultural Factory. You can park your car in the nearby parking lot and then walk to the restaurant. Surprisingly, there was no queue on Friday night, and I felt very lucky about that.

Upon entering, you first use a vending machine to place your order and pay. After selecting your preferred flavors, you can adjust the firmness of the noodles, the type of noodles, and the richness of the broth according to your liking. Currently, they only accept cash. After placing your order, you can find a seat on your own.

After some indecision, I ordered:
The special large white broth ramen which comes with double char siu (braised pork). The char siu is very fragrant as it’s grilled, and the ramen broth is rich. I personally think the saltiness is moderate; it’s not overly salty to the point of discomfort. Among the toppings, there’s black fungus, which I rarely see, adding another texture to the dish, and it’s pretty good.

For the bubble-type Sasso chicken white broth, it had a strong cheese (?) flavor when it was served. I found it very fragrant (but my friend thought it smelled bad, so if you don’t like that, you might want to avoid it). It had a citrus element which I thought was super special, and there were two types of meat with different textures; I preferred the chicken, which was more fragrant and tender after being grilled. Additionally, I ordered what I consider a ramen essential—a soft-boiled egg, which fitted perfectly in the noodles.

Later, I found out that their style of ramen is quite famous, and I'd like to try it again next time I have the chance.
