Curry Udon is a standard noodle dish that can be found at just any udon shop in Japan. However, this is not the case for creamy curry udon, a dish consisting of the usual curry udon, but topped with a thick layer of whipped cream.
Although throwing whipped cream into a bowl of curry udon does not sound like a desirable combination, as it turns out, this dessert-looking dish is even considered as one of the trendiest food in Seoul, Korea.
