I can't even tell you how long this took me to crochet because I stopped keeping track after a week. My parents came to visit today (and to bring me food because I'm actually very ill at the moment) and my Dad fell so completely in love with this that I think he'll be getting it for his birthday later this year. My Dad was actually my inspiration for this, since this is what a ramen shop order from him would look like... a large bowl of ramen with egg, carrot flowers, pink and white fish cake, mushrooms, green onion and snow peas, shrimp tempura, maki sushi with various fillings and sticks of grilled teriyaki beef. Dad's a big eater.

As with the majority of my crochet, these were created not from a pattern, but as I was sitting with hook and yarn in hand, thus there are no patterns available.
