After a long day of flying in your starship it’s natural to be a little famished. But if you’re stopping by the noodle bar in Starport Borgo, beware of pirates. They don’t take kindly to strangers.
These Port Borgo Noodles have two kinds of chewy noodles in a fragrant bowl of broth. But it’s the slightly repulsive adventure of cracking the toppings onto the dish that really makes the meal. Filled with a treasure trove of toppings, it’s an experience that will make you the envy of every pirate in the port.
