Though of Chinese origin, it is unclear when ramen was introduced to Japan. One hypothesis and probably the most credible is that "ramen" is the Japanese pronunciation of the Chinese: 拉麺 (lamian), meaning "hand-pulled noodles" (a name that is still used in Chinese for these sort of noodles). A second hypothesis proposes 老麺 (laomian, "old noodles") as the original form, while yet another states that ramen was initially 鹵麺 (lúmiàn), noodles cooked in a thick, starchy sauce. A fourth hypothesis is 撈麵 (lāomiàn, "lo mein"): 撈 means to "dredge up" and refers to the method of cooking these noodles by immersing them in boiling water before dredging them up with a wire basket.
This is something more than just the noodle. The broth is so in harmony with the ramen! 藏太皷拉麵 is the best ramen that I ever have.
Where is it?
It's my luck to have it just a few footsteps away from the Hotel Sunroute Plaza.
