At a Ramen-ya? Nah, no need to take off your shoes. We went to the one on Brookhurst in Fountain Valley last night, new "fried onion" topping is bomb!! :biggrin:

[natethegreat38]

W[here] TF have I been?? How come everybody has had some bomb noodles but me??!! Are these ramen houses so underground that I don't know about them, or am I just so out of it, I don't know about them? Everytime I read this thread, my mouth starts to water, then I go to the lunch room and buy a Cup O' Sodium to try to fill my craving, but it doesn't seem to do it. I am excited for Thursday, yo!!

[skaris]

Both into ska, eh? :wink:

Yup =D

[dvlnblkdrs]

:laughabove: cup of sodium! i love it nate.. no worries, i never been either.. and hell, the fountain valley one jeff went to yesterday is in the same parking lot as my bank!!! i know it well, just never been there....

[natethegreat38]

shoot, man! We needs to get some of that noodle! It looks like there should be a pretty good turn out! (hopefully nobody will bail out!!!)

[Rain]

SCREW my finals... I would so go!

[dvlnblkdrs]

heh i wish nobody would bail out.. but when have we ever had a time when everyone who signed up to go, actually went????

i'm pretty sure i've eaten pig's feet before but i don't think it has that much meat to it, kinda like chicken feet...i'd rather have the pig's hind leg...deep fried that sucker and u got a tasty "crispy pata"...hmmm yummy!

crispy pata (http://images.google.com/images?q=crispy+pata&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&rls=com.google:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&sa=X&oi=image_result_group&resnum=4&ct=title)

Bummer news...Wife is busy with Pilates friends (just finished licensing exam) and won't be joining us. I'm still in though, and quasi-fasting to be able to cram the ramen like a pro.

I like the quasi-fasting idea- I have been doing the same so that I, too, can eat the ramens like a pro. :bellyroll:

[田中秀樹]

I wish I was able to go... I love that place. ^__^;; Nothing like eating ramen in the name of the Shogun.

My favorite toppings are the cod roe, flavored egg, and seaweed. With my choices of the noodles hard, soup base strong, and heavy oil. Favorite side dishes are the onigiri and the karashi takana. The gyoza is good too, but that's too common of a side dish.

IIRC the Gardena one has a tatami section in which you must remove your shoes.

[cali yaris]

I like the quasi-fasting idea- I have been doing the same

incorrect approach guys -- you should be stretching your stomach out in preparation for a large meal (meaning go ahead and eat a lot!), just don't eat so much the day of the "event". That's what the pro eating contest guys do.

[natethegreat38]

i think my prelude friend is coming also so Art, you may want to add me as Nate (+1?)

[blacksandiegovitz]

Oh , its all good, I got a guy/shop to fix it ( grind/weld/grind the crack) and then getting the rims powder coated gold by them too. I'll top it all of with a set of red works lug nuts .:thumbup:

[natethegreat38]

LOL Nate, you joined the 'picture for my avatar' club.

I heard that December is "self picture avatar" month or something like that. I don't know who makes up such a thing, but I just went with it because that's how I roll.

So, did you wanna caravan over there or what?

[dvlnblkdrs]

ooooooo sounds sexy! so perhaps the crack was just a reason for you to powdercoat them sooner? :tongue:

[blacksandiegovitz]

ooooooo sounds sexy! so perhaps the crack was just a reason for you to powdercoat them sooner? :tongue:

Yeah I'd fix it/powder coat now but I just killed my funds buying Jeff's Recaro setup , so I'm gimpin' on the rim for another week . I Just switched the rim from the front to the back , less weight and stress on it . Only lost 4psi of air today so... I guess thats good :iono:

[natethegreat38]

personally, I wouldn't eff with a cracked rim. Its expensive to replace but I've heard horror stories about damaged/repaired wheels, especially cracked rims/wheels.

[blacksandiegovitz]

Lemme know when you get it.

Sweet man thnx , Lol . Damn like 21 people on the list this is gonna be a really good meet :thumbup: So what time are we gonna eat ? Are we looking to meet up by 8pm then try to get a table for 20 ??? I'm just tring to make sure I get saved two seats @ the table for me and my friend. I'm driving up from san diego so I'm tring to plan out what time I should leave by .

[natethegreat38]

if you wanna get there by 8, I would probably plan to leave about 5:30 at the latest. I would guess you are going to hit a lot of traffic. On the other hand, you will have a carpool buddy for some of the way. I would still do 5:30 and if you get up here early, you can call me or somebody else and we can caravan the rest of the way (LB is on the way to Gardena...

[Yarice]

I guess u can put me down on the list too, gonna leave from Ft Iwin as soon as work is done.

[dvlnblkdrs]

wow, i think we may fill the whole place if everyone on the list actually shows up.. our record show up to a meet is 12.. lets see if we can beat it!

Well , we should beat the 12 person meet record, even if half the people on the list flake... This should be a good meet:headbang: I'm 100% on being there + 1 friend , So thats 2 people...

[ddongbap]

I heard that December is "self picture avatar" month or something like that. I don't know who makes up such a thing, but I just went with it because that's how I roll.

Thanks for everyone who came out of every corner and crevice in So. Cal to hang out with a bunch of complete strangers and eat Noodles. Black San from Dego and "Hooah!" Yarice from Victorville came thru, even though both their trips were over 100 miles each way! Hope to see everyone back at the next meeting. YARIS-MOBB FOR LIFE!

[m911gt]

Looks like it was a pretty nice turnout guys! I hope everyone enjoyed themselves. It was nice talking to a couple of you on the phone...wish I could have been there!

[natethegreat38]

[Yarice]

Man that was one of hell drive back home last night, I made it from Gardena from 1100 PM and got to Victorville at 1230 AM, Thank goodness for Monster Drinks and a big bag of gummy apple candy.

[eii]

Dude, I was up for like more than 24 hours and knocked out hoping to catch a few zzz's before the meet. I ended up waking up at like 4 this morning. Sorry I missed out, look like it went very well, I'll catch ya guys next time.

[blacksandiegovitz]

Yeah , great meeting all of you last night, I had a lot of fun and killer ramen too! Totally worth the drive up from San Diego , We left @ 11:05 and got back to my house at 12:35 I think I took a few decent pictures of the yaris's parked let me check...

[blacksandiegovitz]

I took like 20+ pictures but most came out blurry or low light(way dark) So heres a couple...

[blacksandiegovitz]

Damn those pictures came out like shit... Only nate's car came out good... Fail

[Malaya1221]

[babie y]

Let's be prepared!!!

[03Z33]

Let's be prepared!!!

Didn't you learn anything from the video I showed you? :eek: You're supposed to finish the whole bowl of ramen in under 3 minutes and you don't want to cool off the noodles. That's why you slurp loudly, that's how the noodles are cooled off. :biggrin:

I hope you got a chance to finish watching the movie :drinking:

[darthbauer]

I dont come on here enough anymore. I didn't even know about this meet until now.

[dvlnblkdrs]

ur lame matt.. do i have to text u every time theres a meet? lol

[darthbauer]

Probably


Didn't really matter on this one though. I just checked my schedule and I was still in New Mexico when this went down.

[dvlnblkdrs]

lol tard.. oh well.. u missed out on a lot!

[darthbauer]

lol tard.. oh well.. u missed out on a lot!


Sorry I was busy driving out to see my brother than I have not see in like 2 years.

[darthbauer]

That and judging by where you ate, im glad I didn't go.

[dvlnblkdrs]

why.. whats wrong with noodles and broth?

[darthbauer]

You know I dont like that crap. We all need to go out for pizza sometime.

[dvlnblkdrs]

gah ur so lame! pizza.. u gonna have to find a really good place if u want us east coasters to actually enjoy it.. lol

[darthbauer]

Im sorry but im so freaking over east coasters talking smack on west coast pizza. Its just pizza we are talking about. It doesn't have to be great, just something to munch on while everyone's talking.

[dvlnblkdrs]

but its better to munch on pizza than on cardboard and plastic

[darthbauer]

Name a place that you actually like their pizza around here?

[dvlnblkdrs]

umm pizza d'oro?

[darthbauer]

Where is that?

[dvlnblkdrs]

theres one in costa mesa, 1 in fv, 1 in hb.. their parking lots all suck tho...

[darthbauer]

Is there any pizza that your just ok with that might have better parking?

[dvlnblkdrs]

hmm lampost?

[darthbauer]

Works for me.

[dvlnblkdrs]

i like pizza with my grease :biggrin:

[darthbauer]

I'm not to picky about where it comes from, just as long as its easy sauce.

[dvlnblkdrs]

white sauce? :bellyroll:

[darthbauer]

I'm not even going to dignify that with an answer.


Night.
