Pure bliss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First of all, it was extremely cold for us Southern Californians yesterday as we hit highs of 55 but felt more like forties.  And where I am situated at work, I get the cold draft from employees walking in and out of the building.  Needless to say, my body was craving some warm goodness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My coworker friends had gone to this new place which recently opened within the past year at South Coast Plaza and knew I would appreciate this place.  Le Shrimp Noodle Bar!  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I ordered the Prawn and Chicken Wonton Noodle Soup.  I love wonton so wonton filled with warm chicken was so tasty to the tongue.  And that first sip of broth, mmmmm!!!  I definitely warmed up immediately.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are three choices on noodles; thick vermicelli, ramen noodle which I got and rice noodle, which is like pho noodles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Give it a try if you\u2019re out in Costa Mesa, CA!  Located on the first floor inside Bloomingdale\u2019s. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bon appetit! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/lenakumar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/img_2853-1024x768.jpg\" class=\"wp-image-54\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lenakumar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/img_2853-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/lenakumar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/img_2853-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lenakumar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/img_2853-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lenakumar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/img_2853-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/lenakumar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/img_2853-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ahhh the warmth and savory sips of a hot ramen noodle bowl on a bone-chilling weekday afternoon.
