fa, don't you live in Orange County? It's hard to think of a place with a greater diversity of noodles than you'd find in GG/Westminster/Buena Park/Santa Ana/Tustin/Irvine.

4: No, I moved north, not south when I moved out of [near the LA river]. It's over an hour to noodle-rich neighborhoods where I am now. I make occasional runs to the 99 Market in Van Nuys to bring stuff back for myself and my parents but don't usually go further than that unless I plan my whole day around it.

In the Bay Area, I was near Milpitas/Fremont/San Jose (where I lived), which was about as great for noodles as it gets in the Bay Area.

Our best noodle place uses chefs from Taiwan. Or used too. I don't know if they can do that still.

They make noodles in a way that involves going "thwap" on a very solid table with a heavy rope of dough.

I'm afraid you're trying to make a play on the word "fap" here, but you'll have to go at it alone. (yes, I see what I did there.)

I like this country music tune about Japanese noodles. In the course of finding it, I discovered that it's actually a cover of a song from the '50s (or maybe earlier).

I thought that was going to link to this song 'about' a Japanese food, also a cover but only from the 1960s
