If you think French fries with ice cream is weird, this food combination with ice cream is a lot weirder.

The ice cream comprises both chocolate and vanilla flavours.

A diner who left a review observed that everyone in the restaurant had ordered the dish while they were there.
The reviewer wondered if putting ice cream in ramen would eventually become a norm like butter in Sapporo miso ramen.
Another reviewer claimed that the sweet and creamy ice cream helped to significantly reduce the spiciness of the ramen broth.
Ironically, a number of reviewers raved more about the fried rice than the novel ramen dish.
This ramen shop is no stranger to strange food combinations.
According to their Instagram page, they previously topped hot ramen with cotton candy.
