My So Good

On a Monday night, when the weather has turned cold again after a pleasant week-end, I had a hankering for some hot food. So I stopped at a new ramen shop (yes, they are still opening in Toronto) called Ramen Misoya.

Their specialty seemed to be miso broth. Looking over the menu, I settled on a vegetarian gold kame bowl ($13.50) with additional toppings: tofu ($1) and menma or bamboo shoot ($1.50). Gold vs silver indicated the richness of the broth (and style Hokkaido vs Tokyo). So my bowl came out thick and golden. The noodle had the perfect chew. I didn't need my tofu fried. One twist here was the addition of a couple of fried potato wedges for the gold kame. All in all, it was a satisfying dinner for a winter night.
