I remember I read a post wrote by a blogger where he lamented the lack of choices in most of the local vending machines in KL compared to Bangkok and Japan. Well, I was curious when I saw vending machines in China as I wonder what drinks they will offered. I took one at West Lake in Hangzhou and another one at a shopping mall, which I forgot where is it.
They seems offered the same popular drinks like Pepsi and other soft drinks but then , they do have a variety of local drinks which seems differ between the two. So, I thought, well, not that bad, at least they do have some varieties. LOL

Oh... I was a little disappointed where I had my last bowl of ramen at a shopping centre nearby, where I used to have it almost weekly in the past. Well, they have closed down, maybe moving to another mall and thus, there goes my ramen fix. Though there's a sakae sushi outlet which sells ramen too , I still find this restaurant's ramen is more authentic. I had this bowl of shio tonkotsu ramen last Thursday. *sob* Their nearest outlet is at the far west of SG, in Jurong Point Mall.
Have a good weekend , folks !
Ramen is your favourite
ReplyDeleteHave a good weekend to you too
Hard to get good ramen near my place now :(
DeleteI would go for those vending machines at KLIA because everything at the shops would be so so so expensive. A plate of nasi lemak around RM25.00, absolutely ridiculous.
ReplyDeleteOh is it ? Thought klia expensive !
DeleteWhen I think of drinks vending machine in China, I think of clear sweet teas and "milk teas" (nai cha)..
ReplyDeleteI thought of Wong Lo Kat ....
DeleteShe is right. They have lots of milk tea, green tea and red tea in chilled bottles. I normally like their milk tea as they are refreshing. We don't have them in Malaysia. Sigh!
DeleteHopefully, not very long, they will open another ramen place that sell nice ramen...
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your weekend...
No, don't think so. I think they relocated to another mall.
Deletei like the vending machines in Japan, haha!! when i was in Japan, i bought different types of beverages from the vending machines almost everyday.. it's fun trying the different drinks throughout the trip.. as for Bangkok, i didn't notice the vending machines, i just pop into the convenience store and they have a large selection of drinks available.. KL?? hmmm, boring leh~~ :p
ReplyDeleteYeah , even the selections in china is so much better than kl hor ?
Deleteinteresting to see the vending machines in China and they do have lots of varieties too!! way better than those in KL huh?? i don't mind buying and try as many types as i can afford, hahaha.. the packaging are also quite attractive, if not because of the Chinese words, probably i would think you snapped those photo in Japan, haha.. so which did you buy??
ReplyDeleteNope, I didn't buy any cos I actually looking for hot drinks ....and I had some in my mini flask. Hahha
Deleteoh, so you will have to miss your favorite ramen already, else you will have to travel far for a fix.. hmmm, maybe a new ramen joint is going to open at the same venue?? hmmm, Sakai Sushi?? i tried their ramen once, and i guess it was the worst i have ever had, hahaha, maybe the standard in SG is better than those in KL i couldn't say.. lovely shio ramen, i like that!! :)
ReplyDeleteSigh .... Probably if needed, go sakae sushi lor
DeleteMy kids can go crazy over the vending machine especially those with snacks and candies.
ReplyDeletehahaha...I think not just your kids but most of the kids!
DeleteYou are ramen expert. Know what is good and what is not. ^^
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend, Chris.

DeleteHow's the price? Is it a markup from what's sold in stores or is it the same/cheaper buying from the vending machine?
ReplyDeleteI didn't really buy it, just see see only.
DeleteI used to like vending machines and it was such a novelty buying drinks during my pre-university and university days. So jakun hah..hah... It looks like you have to travel further to eat your favorite ramen.
ReplyDeleteOh... vending machines during the university days are where I got my coffees.
DeleteI just ate Ramen tonight in a tiny shop inside Kyoto. It's real Japanese style cooked by Japanese chef. Yums!
