Christine and I about to embark on a delicious meal at Ippudo

Yamitsuki Goma Kyuri; Japanese cucumber seasoned with Ippudo’s original sesame oil sauce

Akamaru Modern; The original silky “Tonkotsu” (pork) soup noodles topped with Ippudo’s secret “Umami Dama” miso paste, pork chashu, cabbage, sesame kikurage mushrooms, scallions, and fragrant garlic oil

Shiromaru Hakata Classic; The original silky “Tonkotsu” (pork) soup noodles topped with pork loin chashu, sesame kikurage mushrooms, memma, red pickled ginger, & scallions

Sorbet; Blood Orange or Pear flavors

Inside dining area

Recommended by some friends that if I go to New York, I MUST try Ippudo. Delicious ramen!? Yes please!! After the long night out, could definitely go back for a bowl right now, but that’s another story. This place is just superb. Really well prepared noodles that are “bouncy and chewy,” the super flavorful broth that just sends intense flavor shivers throughout, as one ingests; oh and don’t forget the various toppings like the succulent pork chashu.. mmm… so good!!

Wondee Siam | New York, New York USA

Food at Wondee Siam II shot by Matthew M Wong

Duck Kra Prow

Deciding to walk back to Central park from the pier, we were getting hungry so out came the Chefs Feed app to save the day. Love the ‘Feed Me Now’ option to find out what’s nearby. What we found was Wondee Siam. A quaint little Thai place off of 9th and 54th, based on the reviews it looked like the Duck Kra Prow was the thing to get. It was pretty good but I’ll have to go back to try some of their other offerings.
