Looking for Ramen

I love Ramen, but too bad in Montreal although we got a lot of great European food, there are not many restaurants making delicious soup and noodle. I guess this situation results from the small number – 60,000 - of East Asian immigrants. My coach at the driving class is from Shanghai, and he said: “Ramen here is like a joke.”

So on the first day of my arrival in Taiwan when Amanda asked me what kind of food I’d like to have for lunch I answered right away: “Ramen!” She kindly drove me to the Xinyi district--a rapidly developing commercial area of Taipei city--and introduced me a new Ramen place. The owner had learned how to make Ramen in Japan for more than 10 years. I enjoyed my seafood Ramen and felt so satisfied. The noodle is so chewy, the soup is so creamy, and the smell is so nostalgic!

I’ve been in Taiwan for 2 months and have tried a lot of good food here; meanwhile, I stopped myself from taking European/western food and decided to wait until getting back to Montreal. Taiwan and Montreal both got unique and nice taste in food, and I should cherish its local specialty!
