PAS Jjajang Ramen

First time seeing a vegan version of Jjajang ramen (炸酱面 / 짜장면）。To my pleasant surprise, the sauce wasn’t too salty and tasted absolutely delicious in a healthy way. Understand the sauce was made with mushrooms. Plant A Seed is one of the reasons I’d visit Penang again. In fact, I went there twice during my trip. #penang #veganramen

I love this! First had it in their restaurant a few weeks ago, and now with being stuck at home due to Covid, I’ve been ordering it. Three times within a week to be precise lol. It’s #comfortfood There’s a bed of #japanese premium ramen/spirulina noodle, topped with a super #umami sauce made with #omnimeat, mushroom, white cabbage, premium grade whole sesame oil, soy sauce, again topped with takuan aka pickled daikon radish, Japanese cucumber, toasted sesame seeds, organic golden flaxseed. I’m in love with this dish and the whole restaurant

I can’t believe this #ramen caused a rift in my marriage 😵 It isn’t true but can you imagine how rude that would be if it was? It did though make me re-examine what #jjajangmyeon actually is supposed to be because @m1tch9i insisted it should be based on a darker sweet #soyabean based sauce — aka tianmian 甜面酱 / chunjang 춘장 🫘 I only know there is a Chinese rendition as there is a Korean rendition, a Japanese one too, and a terribly botched one I once had the mistake of ordering at a train stop in Rome 🏛️ This appears to be a sweeter kind than I’ve had before & lord does it every make a good #gravy 😋 Better yet they portioned it to adequately that not a serving of noodle went unflavoured. Speaking of, their #noodles are unrivalled! 🍜 It was just so adequately thick and held well on to the bits of #mushroom and the like in the sauce. Is this my favourite meal this trip? 😱 #penangvegan #bestpicks #veganisnotscary
