Great ramen for US$12.50, even better hanjuku eggs at Kanada-ya in Hong Kong
- Delicious broth, springy noodles and possibly the best soft-boiled eggs you can eat make Kanada-ya in Causeway Bay shopping hub well worth a visit
- Expanded menu has tasty new items to try
I’ve passed by Kanada-ya on Tang Lung Street in Causeway Bay hundreds of times before, but never noticed it until they changed the exterior to something lighter and less fussy.
When it finally caught my attention, my colleague insisted that it was a new place. I thought it might be, too – but it turns out that this branch has been open for five years.
The menu has expanded since it first opened and now you can try truffle ramen (HK$108) and spicy yuzu ramen (HK$98; US$12.50).
You tick off what you want from the paper menu, and can choose the firmness of the noodles (from soft to “extreme”), the amount of spring onions (none, normal and, for an additional HK$5, extra), plus toppings and side dishes. All ramen dishes have tonkotsu (pork bone) broth as the base, with other ingredients added to vary the flavours.
