Too Schmaltzy

I was in the Eglinton and Yonge area on April 1st and stopped by Touhenboku Ramen. These noodle shops are now ubiquitous in Toronto in all neighbourhoods. But this joint (2nd of the franchise) was one of the few that offered chicken broth as a option.

Since I've only had vegetarian and pork, I decided to finally try the chicken with the light bowl ($10.50). To be honest, I didn't like it. The chicken fat made the broth felt too greasy. I kept wanting to wipe my lips after every slurp. I can't imagine getting the regular, creamy version. The rest of the ingredients from chewy noodles to tender pork were fine.
