So me and S went on a date to Winter Wonderland in Hype Park in Dec and I'm not going to go into it but it was so expensive and so packed that every time I tried to take a picture I would get barged so I just didn't bother.
I was told to try Shoryu Ramen and from all of the IG pictures it looks amazing. We decided to go to the one in Regent street because it was the closest one to us from Hyde Park which we could walk to as the tubes stopped running from Hyde Park!
We got a seat straight away and after looking through their menu we decided to order the Christmas special for £20 we got a starter, main and dessert. There wasn't a lot of choice with the Christmas Special as there was only two type of ramens to pick from and one dessert but they did have a couple of Shoryu buns to chose from.
I got the Char Sui Barbecue Pork Belly Bun as a starter and just thinking about it makes my mouth water. The bun was so soft and a little bit sweet but not to sweet that it over powered the pork. The mayo and sweet chilli sauce worked very together and was so delicious. The only thing that I would like more of is the lettuce because it gave made the whole thing come together to taste very fresh.
I ordered a Tonkotsu Ramen which contains thin slices of pork. I found the broth very thick and didn't like that because the noodles became sludgy but I blame myself for not realising that all of their broths are like that and they do state it on their menu.
In our Christmas special we was supposed to get a snowflake Matcha Cheesecake but they ran out so we was told to order something from the dessert menu. S doesn't eat desserts so he ordered me a Matcha Azuki Rolled Cake which is about the only cake I don't eat. I did try some and found the cake bland and the inside very hard. I don't know if it was supposed to be ice-cream but it felt like a very hard icecream.
For my dessert I thought I'd try the Matcha Truffle Mochi. OMG! The Mochi didn't taste like anything so I left it but the truffle was amazing! It tasted like white chocolate with a hint of green tea which melts softly in your mouth.
We was lucky to of gotten a seat straight away because that place is busy and very packed. S had to wait for his bun after the mains came out but it was okay because we could see the staff running around the place. I didn't really enjoy the ramen which is the whole concept of this shop because it was too thick. The texture is similar to when you add slice cheese to your ramen which I don't and never would understand but the staff is amazing and helpful. If you do go you MUST try the buns and dessert. THEY ARE AMAZING!!
