Colder weather in Chicago means it’s time to try ramen.🍜 I stopped by Ramen-San for the 10 Hour Tonkotsu ramen, and it did not disappoint. The crab rangoon and pork belly bao bun were the perfection additions to the meal too. ✨😋

From Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice to the flavorful Pork Belly Buns, @sundanewasian is the perfect spot for any meal. The Rainbow Roll was fresh and delicious, but the small plates stole the show🍣. I can’t wait to go back to Sunda to try more of the menu items. 😋😋

@torchiopasta is the perfect, cozy restaurant to try a bunch of different pasta dishes. I loved the Bucatini Arrabbiata Burrata because of the slight kick, and the Rigatoni Alla Vodka was a classic.
