Winter, spring, summer - any season is a good time to visit the Ramen Bar at Berkelow Books in O'Connell St, Newtown.
I've been spending Thursday evenings there from 6 - 7.30pm with other writers readin, writin 'n slurpin ramen. The shitake mushroom and water chestnut gyoza are very yum and the range of ramen soups is sure to tantalise your taste buds and inspire your readin 'n writin mind. It's very informal, sometimes noisy, but a great place to talk about or read some of your current writing. $10 plus buy your own Ramen. See you there.
Below are some pics of ramen slaves Cyd and Robbie, cooking up the rich ramen brew interspersed with some winter Haiku from Cor Van Den Heuvel's wonderful Haiku Anthology of English language haiku to go with your soup. Some spring haiku in a new post coming soon!

cold saturday -
drawn back into bed
by my own warmth
the river always
out there in the dark
late train home
Dee Evetts
summers end
the quickening of hammers
towards dusk
Arizona Zipper
in the puddle
another raindrop
jiggles the funhouse
and one from me
winter night
smile of a ramen maid
warms my step
