Today is my moms birthday. While she passed away a Today is my moms birthday. While she passed away a few years before my current ramen obsession began, I know she still watches me eat. 😢😍 🍜 🍜 When I was about 10 I made bowl of instant ramen, drained the broth, and added about a pound of shredded cheese to it. It was really a bowl of melted cheese with some noodles in it. That’s how I liked my noodles back in the 90’s. After a few bites of the cheese noodles, I took an EXCEPTIONALLY large scope of noodles and shoved it in my mouth. My mom witnessed this from across the room and while the fork was going into my mouth she said….“Zac, BIG BITE, BIIIGG BIIITEE, BIIIIIIIIGGGGGG BIIIIIITTTTTTEEE Zac!!”. My dad and sister were also in the room to witness. To this day we laugh about what she said and how she emphasized “Big Bite”. This inside family joke is always good for a laugh when we are around each other now.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 🍜 🍜 🍜 #ramenzac #ramen #ramenhead #noramennolife #ramennoodles #ramenpatrol #lafoodie #foodblogger #ramen_cp #ramenjunkie #oishii #ramen4life #momsbirthday #cheesenoodles #cheeseramen #bigbite #3056DiamondHead #clearwaterFL #insidejoke #family 🍜 🍜 #ラーメン#ラーメン大好き#ラーメン部#ラーメン食べたい#ラーメンパトロール#ラーメン巡り

Pro tip for when you visit here. Get the Spicy Ch Pro tip for when you visit here. Get the Spicy Chuka Soba, but ask for the spice on the side. This allows you to just have specific slurps spicy and others not. This is great for those of you that don’t like purely spicy ramen because the spice tends to overwhelm the ramen. 🍜 🍜 🍜 🍜 🍜 #ramenzac #ramen #ramenhead #noramennolife #ramennoodles #ramenpatrol #lafoodie #foodblogger #ramen_cp #ramenjunkie #oishii #ramen4life #veniceramen #venice #marinadelray #spicyramen #chukasoba 🍜 #ラーメン#ラーメン大好き#ラーメン部#ラーメン食べたい#ラーメンパトロール#ラーメン巡り

The “Ocean” ramen from @ramentatsunoya . It’s cold and is a seafood and butterfly pea broth. Topped with torched salmon, daikon radish, seaweed, shiso leaf, rice cracker and lemon. Served with thin round noodles. This was very refreshing, especially for a hot day in old town Pasadena. I love it when shops offer of seasonal bowls that are only available for a limited time.
