Thai- Japanese (Food) Romance

What happens when the greatest Japanese chef falls for the best Thai female cook and decides to have a baby? The answer is Oishi Ramen, the Noodle Bar, in a nutshell. This is what I discovered on a short trip to Central Festival mall in Phuket. The most exciting fusion of two culinary superpowers coming to life in an otherwise ordinary fast food restaurant. Oishi Ramen, the restaurant, is part it seems of the Thai regional food giant Oishi Group which is widely known for its snacks and beverages. Travel around Thai major destinations and you'll probably see one. But I digress, the exciting food treat today is one gigantic bowl called 'Tomyam Buta Ramen'.

Tomyam (Tom Yum) needs no introduction. It's the most famous Thai soup 'export' ever.Chilies, herbs, mushroom, coriander, and lovely lemongrass conspire to give you the most exciting spicy soup dish known to man. Blend this with Japanese Buta (Braised Pork Belly) Ramen with miso, and a wonderful explosion of flavors are created for the hapless traveler, who can go back to his budget hotel to dream happily of this recipe from food Nirvana. It takes less than 150 baht (5 USD) to get to sleep with another smile on your face. Try it soon.

Good night dear:)
