One Week of Ramen

Overview

Summer is over and it's rainy outside, but it's no time to despair. Instead, it's time to eat ramen. While we're strong advocates of eating ramen all year round, we think there's nothing better than slurping down a bowl of hot, spicy noodle soup when it's cold and drizzly outside.

Potts Point's Japanese diner Cho Cho San agrees, and to commemorate the start of peak ramen-eating season, it's serving up a limited-edition porky bowl of ramen for one week only. Swing by any night between Monday, March 16 and Friday, March 20 and you'll get to eat try its double pork shoyu ramen.

Made with 14-hour double pork dashi and black pepper shoyu, Balangalow pork loin and fresh noodles, the ramen is garnished with pork XO, a soft soy egg, wood ear mushrooms, chilli oil, bean sprouts and green shallots. If that's not quite enough toppings for you, you can add on more eggs, nori, grilled pork and miso corn, too, for a few extra coins.

Available from 5–6.30pm nightly (or until it sells out), the ramen will set you back $30 — and that includes a drink. Choose from a Stone & Wood green coast lager, a seasonal chu-hai (a shochu highball) or a junmai sake. The ramen is available for walk-ins only, so get in early.
