I would have also chosen Ramen :) We just had visited Pho place recently and my wife had Pho and I chose curry, I must say that I like Indian curries better, but I still enjoyed it. We have not been to a Ramen place in a while, which is probably because my wife prefers Pho to Ramen :)

We used to go regularly to Hokkaido Ramen Santouka, but it is a little bit of a drive from our house so we haven't been there in about a year or so.

And don't think too much about gaining weight, it is not a huge deal as everyone gains weight with age, that is normal.
