The Shin-Yokohama Ramen Museum calls itself a museum, which is basically just an excuse to charge an admission fee. Yes, there’s one small room which outlines the history of ramen, but for the most part this is a food court.
The Cup Noodles Museum might have been one of my bigger disappointments in Tokyo. Maybe that’s on me for being really excited about going to a museum all about Cup Noodles.
You may have noticed that I’ve been in Tokyo for a while, but I haven’t written about ramen yet (no? Nobody noticed or cares? Yeah, that sounds about right).
Though the traditional way of making the noodles for wonton noodles is to make them by hand and roll them out with a bamboo pole, almost no one actually does that anymore.

There’s a popular street food stall near my hotel that was cooking up some kind of omelette-esque dish as I was walking by. It looked tasty enough, so I stopped, pointed, and I was off to the races.

Do you like beef? Do you like all of the beef? If so, Rote Yiam Beef Noodles in Chiang Mai is a must-visit.
The khao soi from Khao Soi Khun Yai was my third bowl in Chiang Mai, and it’s going to be very, very tough to beat.
If you only eat one dish at the market across from the North Gate… it’s gotta be the pork from the Cowboy Hat Lady. But if you eat two, that’s where Changphuak Suki comes in.
