Maymay’s Cravings, an “Asian snack bar”, has replaced Cornology within Yi Fang Taiwan Fruit Tea in downtown Walnut Creek. I don’t think I’ve even encountered an “instant ramen bar” before, where one can select the instant ramen package, add toppings and make a bowl yourself with supplied hot water. Very interesting! Anyone have a favorite?
