Yesterday, we were roaming the neighborhood at Pluit Village for a place to eat dinner and came across Ajisen Ramen. I come here once every few months with DH. We love it. The host always find us table quickly and we really enjoy the food. This is not supposed to be a fancy restaurant, they serve basic, well-made ramen and sushi. We ordered Tong Yam ramen, a Krakatau roll, a karaage, and a pan-fried dumplings.
However, when we had the wasabi, we found the
wasabi served was quite fake/ imitation. Usually it has more a kick, very much
like the “hotness” hits the back of the throat and clears your sinuses. This
one was plain. Nothing.
Note that eating wasabi together with sushi
is a good habit as the spiciness of the wasabi may kill bacteria/ parasites
that still hide in the raw fish.
I am thinking maybe the real wasabi is simply
to expensive, that’s why they have some mixture inside. Hence my question, does
the fake wasabi which we get served have similar health benefits as the real wasabi?
