Permalink Tom yum ramen @ the Yokohama Tulips Festival last April 15 2012

I always love Food Carts, or in Japanese:Yatai because they would often offer food which are unusual. Yesterday’s Yatai challenge for me was this Tom Yum based noodle soup.

Unlike the real Tom Yum soup from Thailand, this fusion is not so spicy, a little bit sweet, and, to my dismay, a little far from being a Tom Yum soup.  The noodles that they used is Pho, a known vietnamese noodles, which was okay.  It had been sprouts, slices of pork, and a crunchy chip which I don’t know what is called except that I know it’s made up of flour and egg..

It was a nice try with the Japanese-Thai fusion but would prefer it to be sour and salty not sweet and spicy (which is one of the reasons why I like Tom yum because I’m a fan of sour food).  It’s not as great and for 600 yen a bowl, I would say it’s a bit overpriced.
