Awe that looks fantastic. I could go for a good bowl of ramen about now. Did the black special have black garlic in it? I took my sister out for ramen for the first time and she hated it. I think she was corrupted from too many years of packaged ramen and couldn't understand the subtle flavors of real ramen.
Yeah it was Garlic indeed! So much flavour! Sorry to hear that about your sister, she should try again.
