**obligatory review on iPhone…read more A surprising ramen shop in the food court of the mall. I was first skeptical due to the food presentation (look at the chasiu pork and the shoyu broth that is not clear...) and how pricey it was ($17 AUS). Still we were hungry and mood for ramen, so we dropped by. Looks are deceiving because this is one of the most subtle yet fantastic bowls I've had. Don't let that bland looking chasiu fool you; it is one of the richest porks I've ate. And it is served cold. But you let it submerged into the broth and it blends so well together. An envelope of flavors, rich fatty pork, and skinny ramen noodles slurped up into a harmonious taste. And the soup is so good to drink by the spoonful. Or by the bowl. I picked up the bowl instead. They also give a free second serving of noodles too! Just ask. Super reminiscent of the ramen I had in Japan. The other one I want to try is the super spicy Shoyu but that'll be another time. Hopefully within 5 years?

No prawns, no meat, no nothing. I took my plate back and asked about the rest of my dish. "Oh solly. I forget plawns" was the response. Five minutes later, a small handful of frozen shrimp had been added. What a gip. Avoid at all costs.

The tonkotsu black was great , the soup was smooth and well balanced , the noodles cooked just right. The tonkotsu spicy was just the right level of spice for a noodle dish.

Unwilling to rely on the quality of the broth I ordered my soup with spice - the Karaka-men (spicy pork noodle soup) with extra pork. All in all it was quite tasty. The pork had been allowed to dry out, but the noodles were good and the broth had just enough heat to make it interesting. Was it Tonkotsu ramen from Hakata Ippudo...no. Was it completely worth the trip into 'downtown' Surfers Paradise to satisfy a ramen craving...yes. It's a pay at the counter and take a number card kind of place so no service to speak of. The decor was fine. There are a few inside tables, a counter with stools, and some more tables outside in the shade.

Its size doesn't help either, making it very easy to miss. But while on the outside things, may look mediocre and sub-par, this place is still worthwhile to try, serving up average Thai food at a reasonable price and service with a smile. I tried the coconut prawn cutlets and the golden parcels for entree. The prawns were indeed very coconutty, heavily coated in coconut and crumb batterred and fried. The parcels were shaped like a tied up bag, a sweet minced pork and nut paste inside, which sounds strangely like dessert, but with the pork and pastry, went well as an entree to get the appetite going. For mains, I tried the basil beef and duck red curry. The basil beef (supposed to be a stir fry of beef with basil and veggies) wasn't anything worth remembering (unfortunately the beef had lots of tendons still running though each piece and were therefore chewy). However, the duck red curry was very well cooked, with the duck meat being tender and the curry sauce was just amazing even though leaning a bit to much towards the sweet side (nevertheless, I could probably finish a whole rice cooker's worth of rice with just the sauce!). In fact, sweetness seems to be a common theme through the different types of curries, which may appeal to some. I however, prefer different types of curries to have something to distinguish between the types. Overall, the food was good (minus the beef dish and curry sauce sweetness). The setting is pretty casual and relaxing, especially since the tables are set outside (which can get awkward in bad weather). The servers are nice, friendly and helpful. There are obviously good reasons why this little place is ever so popular with the locals (I have yet to see them quiet) so definitely worthy for a try.

And being conveniently located in the heart of Broadbeach, it's always hard to pass up whenever I'm in the area.

There's a reasonable selection of typical rice and noodle dishes to choose from the menu as well as a selection of already cooked dishes in the bain marie. But whenever I come here, I typically go for the beef curry soup noodle, which is curry beef taken from their bain marie, mixed with some kind of stock and thrown together with egg noodles and fresh veggies consisting mainly of coriander and bean shoots. The curry is quite delicious and sufficiently spicy (you can ask for hot...or mild or medium depending on your preference) and pretty satisfying quantity wise. And while the beef curry soup noodle is typically all I consume here, based on people I bring with me, the other dishes (such as pad thai) are equally as delicious.

As a man of Chinese descent, I've long lamented the lack of authentic Chinese food on the coast, and Memory taste of Fu Kang goes a long way to rectifying this. The noodle soups are authentic and delicious, and the serving size more than generous (seriously you can share one bowl between two people). The dumplings are a little expensive, compared to what you'll get in other cities, but for the GC they are delicious and plentiful. You definitely won't go hungry! And try the "Chinese hamburger" for a flavour-filled delight. I've brought my parents here when they came to visit, and they loved it. Seeing as they're massive Chinese food snobs, if they loved it, I'm sure you will too.
