When I mentioned to my foodie friend that I was craving some Japanese udon, he knew just the place to take me. Finding a satisfying bowl of udon can be a bit like hitting the jackpot, a rarity but still possible and boy, I lucked out with Menya Noodle Bar Mappen:
What's going to hold me through the autumn and winter here, pictured left.
Aside from serving their hearty and filling udon, they also offer soba and curry rice dishes. They've got 3 branches around Sydney, with each of those specializing in something different. Here at the Menya Noodle Bar in Town Hall, they've got 2 types of soup:
Kakedashi Soup: Made from combining premium soy sauce with a stock of delicious flavors of carefully selected fish (bonito, mackerel etc) and dried kelp.
Tsukedashi Soup: Kakedashi soup from a stock of selected fish (bonito, mackerel etc) and dried kelp made thicker and richer, making it like a sauce.
The interior of this casual noodle bar houses some old-school movie posters plastered on the concrete walls.
I already went back a second time within the same week and I'm bound to go back as well as check out the other 2 branches. They've definitely got a regular customer out of me. Just hop in the line, read the directions on how to order, place your order, hop into the self-serve tempura line, and you're ready to eat! Oishi!
