There were a few awkward glances between her and the seat as An Zhe parsed together the expectation here. Ah. Well? Time to climb up on the stool then? Alright.

The menu offered more questions than answers, some of the pictures piled high with ingredients An Zhe had never seen before. They all looked very intriguing and also very expensive. Seeing as anything was going to be an adventure into the unknown, An Zhe pointed at one of the simpler bowls to discover whatever a tonkatsu broth might be.

The motion was met with a hearty "Osu!" from behind the counter, which startled a "Thank you??" from An Zhe. What a passionate food person!

And as was the nature of many a ramen stand, it did not take long for one of the other stools to vacate.
