Well, I was too curious on how that tomato tsukemen set tasted like, so I conducted my own experiment XD
Expectation:
Reality:
Off course, reality has its limitation. But I find this dish to be versatile and you can play a lot with it as you can see that reality is a lot different than TV LOL. The supermarket nearby my house doesn't sell rocket leaves so I changed it to butter lettuce. There's no fresh ramen noodle as well, so I changed it to Korean udon instant noodle (this is the thickest instant noodle that you can have the mochi mochi texture, but off course fresh ramen noodle is still the best). Shrimps was off limit to my grocery because of its ridiculous price tag and there's no way I'll buy the whole zucchini just to cut a small piece and grill so that it looks pretty on the plate (yeah, I'm practical and reality is harsh LOL), and I'm too lazy to make the soy sauce tamago thingy (not hard, but plain lazy) XD.
I changed the way to cook the chicken as well, still pan grilled, but I added on salt and pepper (use those sea salt, it's delicious).
( If you're interested, here's my recipe XD... )
Kimutaku's inner thought: So? Dou? Oishii?
Taste? It's different, new to me. I eat it when the tomato soup is still hot, but thought of trying it with cold tomato soup. I'd think the experience will be different. The tomatoes in the salad taste sweeter when you put inside the tomato soup. Personally I like it.
