Back during the MIST Rahmen days, which I actually wrote the 1st review and have subsequently visited over there and the reincarnated RaSuperMen and RaIronMen more than 20 times by now. ( *NONE of these were invited meals and all paid by myself by the way..)This recent bowl costed a total $113 for 醤油拉麺 with 1 piece of fatty Chasyu and 1 Egg with 10%, and no longer charging me for tea!Since I have eaten their ramens multiple times since MIST 1st started, I eon't feel the sting as much.

This recent bowl costed a total $113 for 醤油拉麺 with 1 piece of fatty Chasyu and 1 Egg with 10%, and no longer charging me for tea!
Since I have eaten their ramens multiple times since MIST 1st started, I eon't feel the sting as much. But the Thai pork here was pretty fatty and tasteless compared to MIST days, and where is the chopped Negi spring onions, which sort of disappeared? Still loving the depth and Umami in the base Chicken and Soy Sauce soup though and noodles definitely need to be ordered as extra Hard.
RaIronMen has better pork than here, at a premium price. But RaIronMen is no longer related to MIST Rahmen (which carried with it Good Will)! As a foodie I would obviously love for the RA-xxx-Men series to survive.
But my intuition tells me RaIronMen won't be there for long unfortunately, for multiple reasons. Over there, it is trying to re-walk the MIST Rahmen path and doing fine dining food but without realizing that it is not MIST anymore and even back then they weren't doing $380 ramens. How many people are willing to pay for that, unless they go there as part of a Bloggers Event or Promotional Priced event?
I am also acutely aware of other many Top HK bloggers who are never invited to meals here due to sides and including myself, HK people have this tendency to take sides.
But ultimately, it's not the Proprietor's fault and bloggers shouldn't judge using this standard. I liked MIST - and even if RaSuperMen is missing crucial elements vs pricing point, and RaIronMen is trying too hard without the MIST 1* name sake, in my own personal agenda, I would still support it as I do like their ramens approach.
