Chinatown

So much to choose from!

A must for Ramen lovers
Tonkutsu 10.5 $

We had a couple of days where I literately though I was going to melt. It was around 40 degrees hot and the humidify…..ohhh that damn humidity, it must have been like 99%. I saw a lizard in the house the other day (even they are getting inside to survive the heat haha) and because I grew up in Sweden where its too cold for anything living to survive, I am NOT used to living creepy things crawling around my home! Ambrose and his family don’t understand me at all so while I was screaming and jumping on our bed Ambrose was calmly licking an ice cream and observing his father petting that damn thing.

Ever since that incident I have been hiding in our bedroom but finally I had enough and went to the city. It was drizzling rain all day which is such a relief after those days with the heat from hell. After my Microdermabrasion appointment in the morning I head towards Chinatown. A place that is really lovely actually and often forgotten to visit while you are in Sydney.

There are alot of inviting restaurants once you walk along hhe area, but I read a recommendation on a Ramen place. This place has no fancchyyy paanschyy stugg going on. No hip decor, no table service. Nothing. Its actually located in a small corner inside a food court. This place is filled with squished in little “restaurants with all types of Asian cuisines. If you are here, trust me do choose the Ramen place. You wont be disappointed. I promise you.
Their specialty is Tonkutsu Ramen which is that thick broth made out of pork bones, fat and collagen. They cook it for hours and hours to be able to get that creamy, buttery and rich broth which symbolize a perfect Ramen.
They do have many varieties of RAmen here but if you are after the Tonkutsu, avoid visiting between 3-5pm as this is the time the pork bone is removed from the broth and preparation for dinner is done.

Its called; Gamushara Ramen
211/ 25-29 Dixon St, Haymarket

Fun fact! Gamushara is the meaning of doing something so intensely and extremely so that you forget how it affects the people or environment around you. 🙂
