Jay Eats Worldwide

It's Ramen Monday! Ramen Champ Grand Opening January 19, 2015 Don't get me wrong, I like a traditional ramen. BUT, I do Love a good non-tradtitional ramen too! See Limited-Edition Ramen at Animal HERE Chef / Owner Alvin Cailan of Eggslut (Grand Central Market) opened his ramen outlet in Chinatown's Far East Plaza. This location may sound familiar with neighbors such as Roy Choi's Chego and Chef Andy Ricker's Pok Pok Phat Thai. If you follow me, you know I'm a fan of Eggslut, read more HERE . Chef Cailan joins forces with Nathan Asamoto, Johnny Lee, and Michael Sudjati to create Ramen Champ. A true ramen shop with 22 counter seats only, No tables...just like Japan.   This is how a ramen shop should be! Similar to ramen shops in Tokyo, Ramen Champ takes your order before being seated at a counter. By the time you sit down, your bowls and  sides start  to arrive. See What Jay Eats... ...

If you're eating with me, you'll probably hear me say no egg.   Reason why, not many places know how to properly cook an egg.  When a place DOES know how to cook an egg, I'll order whatever with an egg and will be back.  With a name like EggSlut, I hope they know how to cook an egg. I never got out to the EggSlut food truck, but heard good things about their menu.  I was reading a post on the revitalization of the Grand Central Market in Downtown Los Angeles and I knew one of the new vendors is EggSlut.  So on a warm January Sunday, I headed down to Grand Central Market and breakfast at EggSlut. Eggslut is one of the first stalls you'll see when entering  from the Broadway entrance.

I visit Oahu on a regular basis and I usually stay in the Waikiki area.  Except for a handful of places, I'm not really a Waikiki expert.  I was telling one of my Honolulu friends that I stay there, but I don't know where to eat in Waikiki.  I'm usually on Kapahulu Avenue, Kaka'ako, Kalihi, downtown, or other Honolulu neighborhoods for food. A few of my Japanese friends has been telling me to go here.  Since I'm never in Waikiki, it took me awhile to get over there AND I'm glad that I did... See What Jay Eats... SPAM Musubi with Egg and BACON $2.48 Caught my eye... Located behind the Hyatt Regency Hotel  on Koa Avenue is this small "Musubi Shop" sign If you don't look close enough, you'll miss it Once you pass the first sign, look for the green sign between the buildings.
