met up with alicia, tracy and eric for dinner at this ramen restaurant recommended by sunday lifestyle a few weeks back. it’s supposed to be 1 of the top 10 ramen places in singapore.
had to look hard for the restaurant since it was situated in an isolated corner of the mall. when i reached the place, it was almost deserted with only 1 other table occupied and 1 service staff. doesn’t look very promising at all…
the place only started to fill up as the evening crept by. but it was still woefully under-staffed by 2 wait crew only.
alicia and tracy were pretty excited about having the collagen ramen. turns out that the collagen is actually “dissolved” in the soup due to the extended preparation time of the stock.
the ladies had the spicy char siew ramen while eric and i decided on the thick char siew ramen. we also get to choose a side dish worth $6 each plus a cold drink since we all ordered the $16 set meal. quite good value for money i would say.
took a while for our ramen to be served. very ordinary looking bowls of noodles with slices of char siew and an egg. even though we’ve surmised earlier that the “thick” refers to the soup stock, we couldn’t really tell by looking at it.
the ramen were springy, al dente with a good bite while the stock was a lovely milky-white broth. what about the char siew?
it’s heavenly and truly out of this world! the meat slices just melt in your mouth. i can say without any doubts that it’s the best japanese char siew i’ve ever tasted. and to top it all, it doesn’t even have any fats on the meat. yummy!
eric says that even though he’s not ramen person, he’s really liked what he had.
my recommendation?
as makansutra will rate it: die, die must try! :)
