Happy Wednesday! We finally filed our taxes for 2022. After our appointment, my husband, brother, and I went to Kokoro Ramen (just like last year) for dinner. I think this will become an annual tradition of eating at Kokoro Ramen after filing our taxes.
My go-to ramen is Tan Tan whenever it's available. However, most ramen shops don't offer it, so I usually go for spicy miso ramen. Today, I have found my favourite (best?) Tan Tan Ramen in Vancouver at Kokoro. It's spicy without pain, and the noodles are perfectly cooked while adding the creamy egg balances everything out. It has a soothing heat.

Spicy Tan Tan Ramen Our Spicy Tan Tan ramen is another popular item on the menu. Many ramen lovers know Tan Tan ramen, which usually has a similar flavour profile to sesame paste in all ramen restaurants. However, we focus on enhancing umami from multiple ingredients and broth richness instead of traditional sesame paste flavour. |
My husband ordered the Kokuton Ramen, a perfect bowl of comforting ramen with flavourful broth.

Kokuton Ramen This is deep and rich. We use several different parts of pork bone to make this broth, and it takes more than 10 hours worth of cooking time required. We finish with our roast garlic black oil made in-house. |
For sharing, we ordered two Crispy Chicken Karaage, one with Original Soy Vinaigrette and another with Teriyaki Mayo. My husband loved the Original Soy, while I like the creaminess of the mayo with teriyaki sauce.

This is a perfect meal on a chilly, cloudy, cold day. Plus, it was my brother's birthday yesterday, so catching up with him over ramen was nice.
For future me, below is a list of items you have tried so far including the ones you enjoyed today:
