Dining Time: 2025/03/21

Before watching the musical at the National Taichung Theater, I stopped by the nearby Tiger City for lunch.

After being seated, we filled out the order form to customize the flavors we wanted. This time, since I wasn't very hungry, I didn't order any additional side dishes. Then, I waited for the delicious ramen to arrive. Before that, I started with the black pepper bean sprouts and spicy pickled cabbage on the table. Remember to put some on a small plate to eat! The black pepper bean sprouts were super refreshing and helped cleanse the palate, while the spicy pickled cabbage was a bit too spicy for me...

On the menu, besides the four main ramen (Tonkotsu, Aka, Midori, and Kuro), there are seasonal limited options available each week. After choosing, I ordered:

⭐️ Midori King 💰270
This ramen features a tonkotsu broth with pesto flavor. It is topped with cheese powder, Parmesan cheese, and bits of bacon. I chose pork shoulder for the chashu (sliced pork). Overall, it's not too heavy on the taste, with the aromas of cheese and basil. Anyone who loves pesto should definitely not miss this!

⭐️ Tonkotsu King (pork belly) 💰270
This is the tonkotsu flavored ramen, but for this bowl, the chashu was pork belly (the braised pork with a bit of fat). The overall flavor was rich but not overwhelming, with a deep tonkotsu broth. The pork belly was tender and abundant in fat, making it a perfect match for the Tonkotsu King.

In summary, for lunch in Taichung this time, I chose Nagi over Ichiran. I really feel like I made the right choice—Nagi offers customizable ramen with a wider variety of flavors, and I was very satisfied! 😀 Highly recommended to everyone!
