Ramen Kan, Haymarket

Ramen Kan is a hidden restaurant that is a few doors down from Wagaya. You could walk past the lift entrance without even realising it!

Luckily I was introduced to this gem early on in my uni degree so have visited it numerous times for a bite to eat.

I don’t have any photos of the decor (I feel a bit silly taking photos of a place that I visit frequently, as though it is not worth a blog post), but it is quite nice inside, with sofa seating along one wall and wooden floorboards.

Nine times out of ten, I will order the same thing,

This used to cost $9.90 back in the day.

But despite the price increase, it is still value for money.

For those who don’t know what a kaisen-don is, it’s basically raw salmon and tuna on a bed of rice.

A lot of mayo is used and the pieces of fish here are usually quite mushy. The first time I tried it, I didn’t like it but I have grown accustomed to the soft, mushy fish.

At Ramen-kan, it is served with a small miso soup and salad.

The whole combo is incredibly filling and most of the time, I can’t finish it.

Sometimes I also like to order a green milk tea.

It is heavy on the matcha flavour. The only thing that could make it more perfect is if it was served with a scoop of green tea ice cream (which I think they do at Wagaya?)
