One day I had soup with some dumplings. I was impressed to see that the broth was “free” for points and the dumplings were surprisingly low in points. The lunch was one of the best I found (points wise) in Chinatown. So Ramen couldn’t be THAT bad, right? Oh so very wrong…
I saw the serving of the noodles was 5 points… so I thought maybe this whole thing (including half an egg and some grilled pork) couldn’t be more than 8 points. Well… it was 5 points for a HALF cup. I had about a cup and a half… 15 points on NOODLES. That’s a mistake I won’t make again. Nearly 20 points of my 24 for the day slurped up in one sitting.
Luckily there is a great alternative… SOBA! Buckwheat noodles are two points for one full cup. That’s a no brainer right there!
So after all this I’m sure you’re wondering if my 20 point lunch was worth it? Absolutely not. It was just… bland. So bland that it’s not even worth looking up what random place we went for this bowl of flavorlessness.
