Mappen – Haymarket, Sydney

Monday, 18 Apr 11

We try to capture the last rays of light in hurried moments, lingering over slippery noodles made lively with a squeeze of lemon. A gentle nudge and the conversation and egg yolk flows, words like liquid gold to soothe the heart.

Mappen was one of those places I knew we had to try, but Tim was less convinced. He doesn’t like egg, so I could not persuade him of the wonders of tamago onsen, the glorious just barely cooked eggs, nor was he convinced of the cold udon I knew I craved. He likes his udon piping hot, whereas in the heat of summer, I was craving cool slippery noodles. Luckily for us, Mappen caters for both of us, with a large size bukkake udon above for him, and a small onsen bukkake udon for me, with copious amounts of self serve shallots and tempura drippings.

There’s also deliciously crispy tempura you can choose to serve on the side. This vegetable ball is one of my favourites, though admittedly, my chopstick skills suck, so Tim usually has to tear it apart for me. We also love having tempura tofu and chicken, and occasionally sweet potato the size of my hand. All for very reasonable prices.

Erectile dysfunction cheap viagra from uk has become very common problem and can be treated easily.

Tim likes his whitebait, but he usually has that all on his own, because I have issues with little eyes in my food (and big eyes. I can’t eat steamed fish if it’s still looking at me. With teeth. *cringe*). The tempura is crispy, perfect for drowning in the sweetly salty dipping sauce.

Mappen is located just behind the 85c Cake Shop on George Street, right next to the indoor seating area of Pepper Lunch. Just remember, you’ve got to queue on the left hand side, and move to the right to pay.

2. Their tamago are amazing and I usually end up tearing up the kakiage with my fingers. Fried food = good times!

3. Whitebait? I didn’t see that when I was last there! Then again, their tempura selection does change…If you like runny egg then you need to check out when they have tempura egg – poached egg, battered AND deep-fried!
