Supernormal Winter Ramen
With the kitchen taking two days to prepare the broth, slurping down a bowl of this limited-time ramen is a wintertime must.
Overview
There's never a bad time to pop into Andrew McConnell's Supernormal. However, timing your visit just as temperatures start to drop means you can indulge in the restaurant's cherished, but limited-run ramen. Back on the menu for the season, it's served up for $24 on weekdays from lunch until sold out.
If you were lucky enough to score a bowl or two (or more) last year, you'll be happy to know the formula remains much the same. Based in a rich chicken bone broth, tender noodles combine with grilled chicken alongside prawn and chicken dumplings. Then, this nourishing creation is finished with a soy-marinated egg.
Just know, the chefs at Supernormal aren't cutting any corners. Refined over two days, the rich double chicken stock is slowly infused with dried shiitake, kombu and white miso to create multiple flavourful layers. With so much umami goodness packed into each bowl, it's no surprise this ramen has become a wintertime essential.
