At what age did you realize that Ramen is just pretty good but other asian noodle dishes such as Laksa, bun bo hue and khao soi etc etc are superior?

fuck right off Laksa is shit

[Anonymous No.14538293]

Khao soi is pretty great. For me, bo kho is the best viet soup, but I also enjoy bun bo hue and banh canh cua even moreso.

Koreans make some nice seafood soups, too.

Laksa is based. Chicken, fried tofu, two kinds of noodle, delicious and rich broth.

I agree. Japanese is very much overrated. Don't get me wrong, ramen is good. Just not $12 great when you get one piece of meat and wood ear mushrooms. I look at OP and I think THAT looks like it should cost $12. Curry, various toppings, etc. etc. Do Japanese think only their broth takes hours to make or something?

Bun bo hue is shit at 99% of locations on Earth and transcendent in the 1% of cases where someone is actually from Hue or Da Nang or somewhere nearby. Really, Laksa is in danger of the same reputation, as literally-who Chinese places try to offer it but nobody there even likes it or understands the flavors, which are great when done right but 99% shit.

I need some curry noodles now

[Anonymous No.14539620]

>>14538358
It's certainly overrated.
In Japan, it costs about $10 at most.
>Do Japanese think only their broth takes hours to make or something?
A $5 ramen would take about 4 hours.
Reputable stores have 8 to 12 hours.

At what age did you realize that having arguments over food preferences was childish and that every dish has its ups and downs?

I am still getting used with the coconut shrimp thing with Laksa but I do find it quite a good experience eating. Far more unique than the chicken/pork + salt/soy sauce based broths of most ramens if you ask me.

>come to /ck/
>threads comparing ramen to [insert Asian noodle soup]
>never mention what type of ramen

You do realize tonkotsu isn't the only type of ramen? Pho is different from bbh, as shoyu is different from tori paitan or gyokai tonkotsu, as Thai boat noodles is different from yen ta fo. They all taste pretty fucking good. If you are complaining about the price, stop being a pajeet. I don't expect to pay the same for a bowl of tsukemen from Tomita as I do for kuay jab in Bangkok Chinatown.

Ramen isn't even the best Japanese noodle dish. Udon and Soba are both way better than Ramen and don't get enough recognition.

[Anonymous No.14540039]

I tried Laksa before and it was better than any Ramen I've tried.

Zaru Soba is great. I had it in Kyoto and it was definitely one of the top 5 meals of my life.

Absolutely this. I've had bun bo hue at several different locations, they've all tasted like a completely different dish. There's one near my house that I really like but it's probably inauthentic.

[Anonymous No.14541535]

>>14537937
All the Japanese restaurants around here are a class above other Asian restaurants (except maybe Korean).
So ramen does end up being the superior noodle dish by a fair margin.
I would be interested to see if the other dishes could be better if the same amount of money was spent on ingredients, but (without travelling) that's probably a generation away.
Also who are we kidding, ramen broth is top tier. You're not beating that complexity with coconut milk or whatever.

You learn about those ups and downs by having those arguments. And the argument format is objectively the best format for discussion on this site.

Never, because I ate ramen, thought it was ok, then ate pho and holy shit

>You do realize tonkotsu isn't the only type of ramen
Yea, but it's the best type. OP was kind enough to steel man the opposing argument, why complain?

[Anonymous No.14542187]

All of the ramen in this picture are tonkotsu ramen, but can there be any Anon who can understand it?

[Anonymous No.14542444]

Yeah Ramen is pretty overrated. I used to like Japanese food because I'm a big weeb then I started trying out other asian food like Thai and I'll never go back

viet here never had bun bo hue that wasn't mediocre in the states. canh cua is the shit but tom yum is the goat

Let me guess, you're the one who thinks sticky mango rice is better than French pastries too
