The summer of 2011 had a lot more adventure in it than the summer of 2020 will. 🙁

Russian Ramen

Slurp Ramen Bar (Saint Petersburg, Russia)

I didn’t go to Russia to eat ramen. I love ramen, but when in Rome… so I ate lots of (really amazingly delicious) beef stroganoff while in St. Petersburg last summer. However, there was a ramen place, Slurp Ramen Bar, near where I was staying that had excellent reviews. The price was right (about $4 or half the price of most ramen in Japan and about a third or a fourth of the price of decent ramen in the USA), and I was hungry. The verdict?

This ramen would have been really good had it been hot enough. It wasn’t even warm. I’ve had intentionally cold ramen before, but this wasn’t that either. Instead, it was somewhere between warm and cold which just didn’t work.
