Todays Foodie Tip: Beef Brisket and Ramen by Wagamama

“First time to try Korean barbecue beef brisket served with ramen noodles. The noodles are perfectly cooked and submerged in a flavorful and rich soup base (not salty!) Adding more color to it is the menma, kimchi, and a half egg toppings then garnished with spring onions, coriander, and a drizzle of chili oil.”

My verdict: DO TRY
