I had been in France for a little over a week before I finally decided to do something about my…read moreAsian cuisines cravings. Bubble Ramen was probably the closest Asian restaurant to my hotel, so I went for a quick lunch before leaving Rennes.
I was probably craving boba/bubble tea the most, so I ordered a Thai tea with boba, but it was quite disappointing. There was barely any taste to it. It was as if it had been extremely diluted. On top of that, the bobas/bubbles weren't chewy at all, rather, they seemed undercooked or was frozen and cooked improperly.
As my actual lunch, I opted for udon with tofu (there was no more chicken, which was weird during lunch hours) with a shoyu base. The dish supposedly comes with fish cakes, but I only had ONE thin slice. The tofu was flavorless. The vegetables were quite mushy, and also flavorless. The bean sprouts were undercooked. And the broth/soup, which is usually the highlight of any noodle dish for me, was tasteless as well. The ONLY good thing about the dish was the ramen egg.
The meal was severely underwhelming, and I left feeling like I was cheated.
