The oyster paitan ramen became overly rich for me after a while; you could really taste the oyster paste and oyster oil though.
Meidi-Ya finally opened its new outlet at Great World City, and it came with a Dosanko Plaza food court that includes not just BENTOSS, but also a ramen stall called Nishiyama (1 Kim Seng Promenade #B2-120, 6771-1111). To be clear, Nishiyama is actually a noodle supplier (in fact, they supply Miharu, of all places). But somehow at this stall, they decided to branch out and provide everything else in the bowl too.
Overall, the oyster ramen at Konjiki Hototogisu Ramen is definitely special and unique.
The individual components were OK, including the chashu bacon and cheese cracker. But it was all very forced, including that tomato broth. I won't get it again.
IPPUDO Singapore has taken its "Tsukemen Japan" special and jazzed it up with a mala version above.
Ippudo had this on its menu today, featuring a thick blend of squid ink, miso, and spices to form this dark-looking bowl. It basically tasted like Japanese curry; to be honest, I wouldn't have even known that there was squid ink in there if I hadn't seen it. But it definitely gave it a distinct appearance. They provided a bib given the splatter risk.
I highly recommend checking out this cozy Japanese joint if you are in the CBD area.
Their ramen broth is chicken-based. Not too heavily flavored nor thick. It's light and cloudy in texture and the soup is yummy!
