One of my colleagues is having her second baby 💕 So before she leaves, we had to have a little lunch 😉 Finally tried Meets which does Thai, Singaporean, Vietnamese food. Today's special was Taiwanese (!) Lu Rou Fan - minced pork rice - although this was made with succulent cubes of pork belly. Plenty of coriander, a simple but pleasing egg soup, and a fresh salad, finished off with tapioca pudding and Thai tea. Good fuel for her forthcoming baba no doubt!

One of the most popular places for sweet potato ice-cream in Kawagoe, famous for its sweet potato... Tucked down Candy Alley (yes, there's an entire sweet street) Kashoumon sells sweet potato and/or vanilla soft cream, with a vacated m candied crispy sweet potato called a kenpi. Basically, my choice was a triple win... The earthiness of the sweet potato was carried by the creaminess of the vanilla and the kenpi upped the texture fun! 菓匠右門川越けんぴ工房直売店

Beautiful smooth latte at The Local... It's worth the little walk up the hill from Shibuya.

Kawagoe festival is fantastic! Check thus fox mask out - the mouth moves!!

Ramen Gottsu in Nerima comes with a Bib Gourmand recommendation in the Michelin Guide! On a cycling adventure, I was overwhelmed by a ramen craving and checked my handy Google map of delicious stars and found Gottsu was only 4 minutes away! Arriving at 11.40am, there was already a queue out the door. I opted for their #1 standard option: ramen with all the toppings. The broth is a rich pork-chicken-bonito mix with an emphasis on the fish flavour. There's also a slightly sour note that surprises the tongue at first but ultimately the tastes mellow into a rewarding experience. The bowl comes with karanikudama (辛肉玉) a spicy minced meat paste containing cashews, which they recommend melting bit-by-bit into the broth half way through... But I went all-in pretty quickly as the extra flavour kick was appreciated! As for the toppings: char-siu was a little bland in all honesty, noodles were smooth and slurpable, bamboo shoot was spot on, but the star was the soy egg!! Gooey in the middle and just wow! My friend's tsukemen had a surprisingly light broth by contrast and the thicker noodles didn't excite me much. Still, a solid effort. Get a pork rice bowl on the side and torture/tease your tongue with the play-off between the just barely enough sweet sauce, tangy spring onions, and salty pork chunks. Hot tip: insert the pork chunks and onion into the soy egg and briefly enter heaven. You're welcome. Incidentally, the store offers homemade cheesecake for 200 yen.
