Since my stomach still could not withstand stimulating food, Japanese noodles is my only available choice after porridge and macaroni. Jika Udon sprang to mind when I first thought of Japanese noodles, so I decided to try it out. Working late today, I found this restaurant is still full at 8.30pm. Do all people eat that late for weekdays, or everyone was just off work like me. Anyway, the most important thing was that I don't need to wait for a seating.
I wouldn't exactly use the word spacious to describe this restaurant as others do since the tables were all tightly packed together! An inconsiderate customer who sat next to me spreaded all her belongings across the sofa which literally leave me no room to sit, plus I had to squeeze through the pathetically tiny gap in between the tables to get to my seat. Another crazy point that worthy to mention was that they have got themself a walk-in-fridge as their lavatory. I just couldn't believe how ridiculously freezing the lavatory can be, try imagine, 8 degree C.
The menus were set on there tables when we were seated. We found it difficult to lift the menu because the plastic sealed menu sticked on the slightly wet table, which was actually quite ew. There were quite a range of noodles to choose from but unfortunately I could only get some plainer ones.
1) Grilled egg rolls
The egg rolls looked pretty nice and appetizing on the beautiful plate, yet the taste was not as good. It was sweet, but the flavour is dull. There wasn't even any egg taste in it too
2) Jika Udon with Chicken in Tomato soup
I was kind of surprise to see how little the soup was, it could not even cover half of the udon. It was rather unfortunate as the soup literally tasted pretty nice. It had a strong taste of tomato but was rather salty. The Udon was quite horrible to be honest. It was irregularly sized and quite rough in texture, I hope they were not using those features to signify homemade noodles, 'coz it didn't work for me. To be blunt, I reckon they looked too ugly to eat. Texture-wise, it was also a bit too chewy. I guess the only thing I like about Jika Udon's udon was its thickness, but that's it.
