8.2K♡rean-style Spicy Ud♡n in the ♡ of Saig♡n (Centre)Whatever you want to call these noodles, "Udon" or "Champon", these hand-pulled noodles are worthy of the name. Nestled inside the Takashimaya food court is a little bit of Korean flavor in a Japanese setting. With at least a half dozen shops at Saigon Centre specializing in ramen (egg noodles) it is great to know Suizan dishes up bowls of thick, chewy, hand pulled rice noodles. The Japanese call it udon; Koreans call it champon. I call it slurping spicy goodness. I chose the Spicy Champon. Already loaded with kimchi, carrots, roast pork, squid, fish cake- I added a soft boiled egg and crunchy tempura bits. The broth was nice and spicy (I did add a few dashes of hot chili oil), though not over bearing allowing you to savor every bite (often chasing your bite of noodles with a good slurp). It was steaming hot and clear, becoming cloudy with bits of eggs and runny yolk swirling throughout as I mixed it up. The tempura bits soak up the broth, adding a great richness to the dish. I would even sprinkle some onto my noodles just to get a crunchy bite in every now and then. If you follow me, you know it is all about texture, right? Succulent roast pork, tender squid, cabbage, and carrots- I guarantee you that every bite will have a different flavor and feel. The noodles are not too thick. They are not too thin. Not every noodle is the same. And in a shopping center with over a dozen places serving noodles, being different with hand pulled udon definitely puts Suizan on my list of "must try", followed by "must return". Another "sure"-fire winner in my book. ...Xem thêm
