I have revisited Halu Ramen today and ordered the regular Nagisa ramen with extra egg, green onion and spinach.
I did try to ask if I can switch to the thicker noodle but got declined. As for the soup, this time around is not as smooth as previous times I have been here. It has a wildness to the soup where I would not recommend drinking when you are feeling sick. But overall, the noodle texture and the egg are superb, same as the chashu. I would still go with the tantan men here to over come the wildness in the soup.
On the same note, my cousin and I visited Umami Burger on University in Palo Alto. I was a little confuse on the "Trust Us combo" where my cousin cannot even choose the drink item!! At the end we decided to order a la carte style. Comparing to the price tag, the Burger portion is not big. The funny thing is that they only give you 1 piece of everything. Like one piece of shittake mushroom, one piece of tomato, one piece of fried rice layer parmesan crisp. lol. I hope that they do give you a bowl of salad instead of an uncut lettuce... lol.
