I am currently in the grip of a desperate and hopeless craving for Wagamama. Miso-glazed cod ramen with a side of bang bang cauliflower, for preference, but honestly I'd settle for anything on the menu. It's nearly two years since I last ate there, and actually I can count the number of times I've eaten decent East Asian food (as opposed to bog-standard Chinese takeaway) in that time on the fingers of one hand*.
Sadly, I'm not about to go and eat in a crowded noodle bar, and they don't deliver outside the ring road, so I am not going to be able to satisfy this craving any time soon, and somehow home-cooked alternatives aren't the same.
I've almost forgotten what it was like to be able to plan holidays and actually see people in person, and I don't feel like I miss it that much, but my goodness I miss Wagamama.
*Two sushi deliveries from the person locally who does prebooked deliveries on a Saturday evening most weeks; one takeaway sushi in the rain in swimming friend L's garden; one takeaway sushi in town with friends from Glasgow who were visiting last summer; one lunch from Itsu I treated myself to last term** when similar cravings got too much.
**Maybe on one of my office days next week I could do that again, if I have a day with enough time between meetings to walk into town and back as well as eating.
