Minca for Dinner
I love catching up with people over a meal, preferably if it is a steaming bowl of noodles...aka Ramen! I have a soft spot in my heart for Minca, a hole-in-the-wall joint in Alphabet City. I suggested to my friend Scott that we meet up there and that is just what we did!
Yes. I do realize that my last post was about Ramen... #sorrynotsorry. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. On my walk over there from the subway, I saw an awesome sidewalk sign: HEY PIZZA BITCHES. I love it.
I love a direct menu
We were able to sit fairly quickly (yay for eating at 6pm). I got my favorite prep: Spicy Miso Ramen. The sauce is is soy-bean based with with a pork and chicken broth. It is served with wavy noodles. I love the addition of corn. I'm a big fan. It makes the dish extra satisfying. Also, more vegetables make me feel better about all the other goodies (PORK!) in the bowl.
Spicy Miso Ramen
To wash down the delicious Ramen, I got a beer (not sure if it was Sapporo or Asahi). It was a nice contrast to the piping hot broth!
I highly recommend this spot. It is tied in my mind with Totto, but just behind Jin Ramen in Harlem.
Cheers,
