Finished (click to enlarge). Added spring onion, Slad Cosmo mung bean sprouts, pickled ginger, sesame seeds, and barbecue pork. The noodles are just sensational – thick and wide with a nice character to them. The broth was extremely tasty with an almost bacon like quality – strong pork here. All in all, just charming. 5.0 out of 5.0 stars.  JAN bar code 4560372741049.
