屯ちん (Tonchin)

061005 017.jpgとんこつラーメン+みそ+得入り。
Tonkotsu ramen with miso and assorted toppings. The soup is thick but very good - surprisingly it is not the usual unbearably salty pork bone soup in other ramen places, but actually drinkable. The chashu(pork) is one of the best I have had in Ikebukuro. Only that the ramen is also one of the softest and most overcooked…^^;; Later I checked out other people’s reviews and it seems like the noodle is always that soft, and I wasn’t just unlucky. This place is very popular so always a looooong queue. Though when I went, I got a seat immediately, and after I sat down, a queue suddenly formed outside the shop. ^^;;;;

4種のチーズソース ペンネ。バナナケーキ。ランチは1260円。
Penne with 4 different kinds of cheese. It looks plain but the cheese sauce is very rich. The penne is unfortunately overcooked…banana cake is so-so. Instead of plain water they serve you (despite diluted) iced peach tea.
