Despite some hesitation, I did end up visiting the Night Noodle Market at Hyde Park.The pretty lights convinced me that I needed to visit although naturally, we ended up going when it was still light outside and therefore the lights were not turned on. Of course.
A. and I shared the beef ramen burger and also the teriyaki chicken rice burger. Hmm. Where to begin. Well the rice burger was mainly consumed by myself and by the end of it, my jaw was tired from trying to break down the 'buns' of the burger. When I was younger, we didn't have a non-stick rice cooker therefore every time we cooked rice, a layer of rice would be stuck and it was hard and almost inedible. That was basically what the rice buns reminded me of. Sometimes I feel that I can be quite harsh when it comes to giving my opinion, and then sometimes I don't. When it comes to food, nearly everything falls under the opinion of, "It's alright" and when I actually don't like something, I really really don't like it. Sadly, this fell into the latter category.
Mini pancakes w/ chocolate sauce and strawberries.
A. was still a little hungry which justified our trip to Pancakes on the Rocks. We shared the Hot 'n' Troppo with crepes substituted for the pancakes. I am actually not a big fan of pancakes and after my 3 day stint of eating pancakes for breakfast everyday in Toronto (it was free!), I have been put off about the idea of pancakes.
That's exactly what the rice burger tasted like! My friend compared it to bibimbap, especially when everything fell apart.
ReplyDeletebest description of the rice bun hahahahaha.
ReplyDeleteHahaha you sound like me when it comes to food. I was told the ramen burger was nice but it wasn't my type of thing so I never tried it. It's so random how they chucked a few bits of watermelon on the side though. Looks like you had a nice day nevertheless.
ReplyDeleteI went to the night noodle markets last year as much as I enjoyed the lights and atmosphere I'm a little hesitant to go again this year. I don't like the burnt rice at the bottom of the rice cooker either.
ReplyDeleteHahaha I love that you hightailed it to Pancakes right after. I'm going to the markets tomorrow, will stay away from those rice burgers!
ReplyDeleteMan, sucks that those burgers weren't tasty. They sure look nice! Knowing me, I'd probably still try it just to say I did, haha.
ReplyDeleteI actually really like rice burgers - I had them for the first time on a plane to Australia to visit my family. I've never tried a ramen burger before, but I'd like to try one just to see what it's like!!

These pictures are making my mouth water! It makes sense what you said about the rice burger, but it does look very tasty. But those desserts…. Wow<3
