I loved the skinny noodles either way, and it was much better than that tsukemen that I had last time.
A food blog from a Singapore-based traveler
阿夫利 Afuri ramen + dumpling in Funan Mall is worth a visit whether you want to try their famed yuzu ramen or you want a simple casual Japanese meal. Their traditional tonkotsu ramen and cha shu don are enjoyable.
There's a big pork mazesoba on the menu. It's not bad.
Menya Kokoro New Items are in generous portion. Surely to satisfy hunger dinners’ stomach.
I haven't eaten at Keisuke in a while. But his shop at Capitol Singapore (13 Stamford Road #B1-35) serves an iekei bowl that I hadn't tried yet, so I grabbed one while I was nearby. It was pretty darned thick, with a broth that was so sticky that it was more like a sauce.
Some prawn flavour, but not as intense and flavourful as I hoped or remembered it to be.
It was crisp and savory, and with the added bonus of tender yet tasty slices of Miyazaki wagyu. The gyoza were decent too. But I won't come back for this, nor do I have much desire to try their tonkotsu.
Kiwami didn’t disappoint. The fledgeling restaurant impressed me with the variety of high quality yet perfectly affordable dishes.
I tried their amaebi mazemen. Didn't enjoy it.
Quality and standard of food is there. One good note is that they pride themselves with that No MSG was used
All the noodles were below the rim so the protruding pile were mostly bean sprouts if anyone was wondering.
I like the tori paitan.
The only difference I could discern was that this regular Megamen bowl had more broth and the dry bowl has nori and ajitama.
IPPUDO is running this special right now, saying that it's "super popular in Japan," so I figured I'd give it a try. Unfortunately, I still don't like miso ramen.
I'll refrain from using the words that went through my head when I ate it. But let's just say that it struck me as very un-IPPUDO-like, and I wasn't a fan.
I'm still in a bit of disbelief that they would offer this thing in the first place.
Hototogisu's CHIJMES outlet is running this coconut ramen right now.
Here's the paitan version of Hototogisu's oyster ramen at Great World (yes, I'm still doing post-circuitbreaker ramen). I've had this several times before, and in fact seem to keep forgetting that I liked the shio version better. I cleared this bowl quickly, but next time, I'll get the shio.
Keisuke Group opens their first-ever Hokkaido specialty ramen concept at Millenia Walk.
With a bold flavor and a velvety consistency, the Original Tonkotsu Ramen is sure to delight both adults and kids alike.
This isn't listed on the paper menu at Marutama, but it was listed in the ordering system that they use for each table, so I grabbed one, especially since the photo showed it as being practically carpeted in green onions. It's too bad then that the real thing wasn't quite as green. It wasn't that interesting either, as it was just their basic ramen with an extra helping of negi.
The first Hakata ramen in Fukuoka was simple - thin white noodles in a light broth that was made by boiling chicken and pork bones for 4 – 6 hours.
They are also famous for their yakitori but we ordered the Mentaiko dashi maki Tamago with features rolled omelette with Mentaiko in the centre.
The izakaya small plates section of their menu was pretty much like any of those izakaya themed wannabes that's been opening up. Nothing mention worthy because it's mostly templated.
At night, this place turns into an Izakaya with Sapporo deals. Looking forward to that.
Overall, while the prices are on the steeper side, it is understandable given the stall’s location. So, if you’re in the CBD area, you might want to head to Singapore Crawfish Ramen for a quick ramen fix!
Tried their luncheon meat onigiri. It was okay.
I thoroughly enjoyed the ramen options as the flavours and textures were well above average.
In summary, food is always based on personal preferences; maybe some of you would prefer this no-MSG ramen but in my case, i think once is enough.
I enjoyed this bowl except for one thing: the simmered tofu on the left. They should provide a non-vegetarian option by allowing one to substitute the tofu for chashu. They also have that salmon bowl here; maybe I'll come back to save me the trip of going all the way out to Jewel.
