Food Blog : Ajisen

Meal times during the weekends are always the hardest for us, trying to figure out what to eat, depending on the time that we're awake. Yeah, weekends are for sleep ins and arvo naps.

We ended up at the Macca's at IMM for breakfast. IMM is a shopping complex located near our place and they have the best parking rates on the west side of this island. It's free for the first three hours, on your first entry. You're probably wondering how people can spend more than three hours at a shopping complex that has no cinemas. Well, you can... sometimes waiting in line to get a new phone or to pay for groceries. So far, I don't think we've spent more than 3 hours in there... since they've started charging for parking.

Anyways, we went back there for dinner and this time we had to pay for parking. They don't take into account that you didn't spend three hours the first time you entered their parking complex.

Right... it's a food review. When we first came back from Hokkaido, we were so in love with Ramen that we had to try all the restaurants that sold it here. I think Ajisen was the first one we tried. Didn't match up, so we never went back. Of course we were comparing Platinum to Silver.

15 months later, we're back and it's not so bad... I had the Butter Corn Miso. Noodles tasted fresh enough, none were clumped up together. Soup was thick and tasty. Corn was young and sweet. Those are the good bits. Now for the bad bits. The Char Siew was overcooked. Beans sprouts had tails and was slightly blanched. Somehow the half raw beans sprouts found here does not taste the same as the Aussie ones. We also ordered a side dish of fried Silver fish. The dish came not crunchy, drizzled with some sweet and lemony sauce and sprinkled with a dash of chili pepper. Sauces for fried Silver fish should come on the side.

Maybe we'll give them another 15 months.
