yup. that is me. 3.5 miles, 1hr and 23 mins. seriously, everyone was packing up when i got to the finish line. that day was horrible, i will never EVER do it again. weather said it was going to have thunder storm any time from 3-9pm. race starts at 7pm. when i left work, it was clear and warm outside. guess what, 7pm rolls around, once i set my foot on the start line, it started to POUR! so i was soaking wet, walking in the rain, freezing my butt off for some stupid work related event. argh!
anyways, H came to pick me up at Central Park, and I was soaked and shivering. cranked up the heat in the car and told him I wanted some noodle. after some careful consideration, we settled on Minca Ramen Factory. I've been there once before, got mild food poison. But the reviews on yelp was so good, i thought I must have just had a bad bowl. so here we go, second chance.

Kimchi Ramen
Charshu RamenSupposedly the most raved about ramen place in NYC. located in the Alphabet City with about 15 seats. I guess it's a cool little "hole in the wall" kind of place. But this is probably the worse ramen I've ever had in my life. Even $2 a pack instant noodle taste better than this. I will never cheat on Ramen Santoka (food court in Mitsuwa) again. Mitsuwa is literally 5 mins away from my house and yet I drive all the way out here for this crap?
first of all, the charshu was cold! a piece of cold pork meat in the warm soup, gross. soup was thick, but lacked flavor, very bland. noodle is too al dente, hard to chew. everything was just off. but iguess at least it looked good.
The pork gyoza stole the show. you know your food suck when your appitizer is better than the entree. I'd definitely go back for the gyoza. Not the ramen though. ewwww...
The best ramen i've ever had was in Harajuku Tokyo. It's this tiny little place right outside of the train station. H and I loved it so much, we went back there 3 times in a week. I need to post pictures of that bowl of ramen. oh man, my mouth's watering....
