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.

With teeth. *cringe*). The tempura is crispy, perfect for drowning in the sweetly salty dipping sauce.
