A couple of days ago, I read a feature on one of Brooklyn Flea's vendors, Yuji Ramen. Today, I woke up thinking Ramen would be perfect for lunch. So my wife T and I headed out around noon to Brooklyn Flea's winter location at 1 Hanson Place, right behind Atlantic Terminal.
Yuji Ramen and most of the food vendors were tucked away in the basement of the building. Yuji was offering 4 types of ramen:

What's interesting about Yuji Ramen is that there ramen is not in soup. It is boiled and then put in a bowl without broth and then toppings are added. I never had ramen that way before so I thought it was worth a try. I ordered the #2, the Bacon, Egg & Cheese Ramen.
The bowl looked pretty but the dish was not that flavorful. I was rather disappointed.
My wife went over to a stand called Cemita's, which specializes in Mexican Sandwiches.
Her Carnitas Cemita was awesome! The red and green sauces on the sandwich gave it so much flavor. It was a combination of spicy, pickly, meaty, cheesy, oniony goodness, the best thing we had at the Flea.
Since I wasn't completely satisfied with my ramen, I went for hot dogs at Asia Dog, a place I'd seen numerous times but never tried. Asia Dog sells chicken, beef and veggie dogs with all sorts of Asian toppings like kimchi, pork belly, pickled carrots, and Japanese curry. I ordered two dogs, the Wangding (Chinese BBQ pork belly, cuke, scallions) and The Vinh (pickled carrots, jalapeno, cuke, spicy mayo).
To be healthy, I ordered chicken-based hot dogs for both instead of the beef. The Wangding was okay, although the pork belly was a little sweet for my taste. The Vinh, however, was delicious. The freshness of the carrots, cuke and cilantro really hits you and with a little bit of sriracha, it gives you a great spicy/pickly combination.
Brooklyn Flea is such a fun place with so many food options. I try to make it there at least a few times a year.
