Restaurant review - Hottest Ramen Bar in Town: Kanada-Ya Ramen

London has been having a ramen rave these days. Apart from the existing ones, like Shoryu and Tonkotsu, there are now 2 newbies in town – Kanada-Ya and Ippudo! Since I am ramen enthusiast, I immediately paid a visit to Kanada-Ya. As I heard that their ramen created by secret recipe by their founder, Kanada Kazuhiro.

After queueing for an hour, the waiters welcomed me in sincerely. The setting was quite cozy and not too packed. Customers could choose hard/ moderate/ soft ramen and the intensity of the broth. I chose the moderate Moyashi ramen with normal intensity broth. It was totally worth wait! The broth was clear yet the flavor was intense. The charsiu was at its optimal state – nicely grilled and not too oily. The veggies that went along with the ramen added some freshness to the broth which made it even better.

‘Moyashi Ramen – 18 hour pork bone broth, charsiu pork belly, wood ear fungus, nori and spring onion topped with blanched beansprouts’ £11

Overall, I would highly recommend this little spot if you want to try a bowl of nice, hot and authentic ramen in town! 

Address: 64 St Giles High Street, London WC2H 8LE

Opening time: Monday to Saturday 12pm-3pm and 5pm-10pm

Review: Maybelline Forever Strong Nail Polish [Rouge Profound Deep Red]

I got the Maybelline Forever Strong Nail Polish in the colour Rouge Profound Deep Red from Superdrug recently. I am really liking it and I would like to share with you all.

 

 


What I like: With just 1 coat, it gave a really nice opague red colour on your nails already. By adding one more coat, the colour payoff was extremely vibrant! The consistency was quite good for a drugstore nail polish, it's neither too watery nor too thick. It does not have a really strong 'usual nail polish' scent, which was a big plus for me as I really dislike the smell of those chemicals. The brush head is rounded and it's quite easy to apply.

What I dislike: It would be better if the brush is a little smaller 'cause my nails are small. :P

Overall, I think this colour makes my hands look really white and I will give it a 4.5/5 :)
