Although the two available dining areas were just across each other, they were far in terms of conditions. We obviously picked the air-conditioned room with proper wooden tables and chairs instead of the stuffy space near the kitchen. Very limited menu offered... just the basic shio, miso and pork-based ones i can expect.
Taking the hint from Lifestyle's Top 10 Ramen feature, Sis and i selected the Stewed Egg Ramen.. but it was so hard to believe that they don't serve it for the day! Disappointed, but we went ahead with the miso while both mum and dad had the Charsiew one.
Opted for less oil and salt, healthy!
Miso Ramen ($12)
It was sad how this bowl of noodles turned out to be a letdown for me. Not because it wasn't up to standard, but just due to my high expectations... Everything was good, above average, but simply lacked the punch. The soup, cooked for 8 hours, came passably tasty but inadequate. Could be due to the less salt request but it just required more kick.
Much thicker and heavier noodles than anticipated; it gave firm substantial bites too heavy for my liking. I got pretty much sick of it after some mouthfuls. Charsiew on the bland side as well. But i liked the corn bits and bamboo shoots..odour-free and palatable.
Char Siew Ramen ($12)
Comparatively lighter and tastier pork-based soup with slices of charsiew in pork-based soup.
Gyoza ($5)
Low in grease with a nice crisp surface but the soft minced filling were just average.
For health-conscious ramen lovers out there, this one is a pretty good place to get your ramen fix.
