I forgot, what else were we saying about instant noodles and ramen…
I think I’ve got enough information about the instant noodles… (weird expression)… if you’re gonna cook it your way anyway!
(Giggles)… okay then, let’s move on to actual ramen?
Sure. Let’s move on to ramen.
Well, the BEST ramen I’ve ever had in my memory?
(Nodding, listening)…
It was in Tokyo…
(Smiles)…
A friend of a friend — we were with friends who introduced us to other friends — Japanese friends — the Japanese friend of a friend — that person — who I don’t fully remember now — that person recommended a restaurant in Tokyo that we went to. And that person was like, “This is authentic, Japanese ramen.”
And that is the BEST bowl of ramen I’ve ever had in my life!
(Giggles!!!!!!)
Why is this funny to you?
I don’t know! But I feel like there’s a theme? You like “authentic” food — of whatever culture.
True — I like to experience the “authentic” food first — before we start going with the modern, fusion, or trendy…
(Smiling)…
Does that help?
(Nodding)… it helps A LOT!
Good.
Do you still remember the taste of the “authentic” Japanese ramen?
I think so? I feel like I kinda do?!?!?!
So this is how you judge all other ramen? In comparison to that ramen in Tokyo?
YES!!!
Ahh… I understand…
You do?!??!?!
(Smirk)… yeah… I get it…
Okay then?!?!
(Nodding and smiling)
Is this conversation now finished?
(Shrugs shoulders)… it’s up to you… anything else that you want to say?
Not really?! If YOU understand what authentic Japanese ramen should be? Then — we’re both in agreement!?!?!!?
(Nodding)… yes… I get it…
Good! ^__^ ❤ ❤ ❤ LOVE YOU!!!
I love you too… xoxoxoxoxoxoxxx
