Ben had taken a couple of days off to clear his personal days. We decided to go to downtown for a walk. We got off the City Hall station as we remembered there are several nice cherry blossoms at the Vancouver City Hall when we drove past the area a day ago.

I just love to take photos of the cherry blossoms to capture a beautiful moment.

After that we continued our walk to Broadway. We ended up having lunch at Hokkaido Ramen Santouka.

The place was busy as it’s about lunch time. Seatings were tight.

Ben recommended me to have the Ikura salmon roe bowl combo.

For the ramen, I opted for the Kara-miso ramen which is a spicy version.

Ben ordered the Kara Tsuke-men which is cold ramen served with a spicy hot broth on the side. The ramen for this dish is thicker than my order. It has a strong alkaline flavour.

The hot broth had the usual ramen ingredients like egg, char siu, bamboo shoot, etc.
