Happy Sunday! We're back in Downtown Vancouver today for errands, and I was planning to grab lunch from one of the food trucks participating at Dine Out Vancouver food truck event in front of the Vancouver Art Gallery. Still, I found it too cold to be enjoying food outside.
We ended up walking along Robson Street, and I spotted Jinya Ramen Bar. It's our first time here, but we have ordered for delivery in the past.
Hubby pointed out the Premium Tonkotsu Red and thinks I'll enjoy it. I love spicy food. According to the server, Level 9 and 10 are unavailable because they're out of stock of the habanero peppers. I wanted Level 7, but she said Level 4 is already spicy, so I settled for Level 6.

| Premium Tonkotsu Red Pork broth, pork chashu, kikurage, green onion, seasoned egg, nori dried seaweed, red hot chilli, oil and spicy bean sprouts, and thick noodles. |
First, the broth was rich and flavourful, and for level 6, you can feel the burn on your throat, but only during the first sip. Anything after was much more enjoyable. I love the pork chashu, and I ordered more before finishing my ramen.
Meanwhile, hubby ordered the Karaage Chicken Ramen from the Chef's Special menu section.

| Karaage Chicken Ramen Chicken broth, crispy chicken dressed chilli sauce, green onion, spinach, seasoned egg, nori dried seaweed, and thin noodles. |
For our appetizer, we ordered Spicy Creamy Shrimp Tempura and to end our meal, we enjoyed Mochi Ice Cream.
 |
| Spicy Creamy Shrimp Tempura Crispy shrimp tempura tossed in Jinya's original spicy mayonnaise in the classic "Ebi-mayo" style. |
