Tucked away in a corner of Singapore and in a corner of a hotel is a quaint little ramen house. During my trip to Japan, the tour guide told us that we could find relatively 'cheap' (considering this is Japanese cuisine and that the ingredients are all imported from JAPAN!) authentic Japanese ramen in the restaurant.
So I went there along with 13 others (the Japan trip convoy) to try out what is said to be one of the best ramen in Singapore. I had a steaming bowl of Miso-Tonkotsu ramen. The funny thing is that Miso ramen is famous in the Hokkaido region (all the way up North) and Tonkotsu ramen is famous in the Kyushu region (all the way down South), so combine the 2 and you get quite an interesting tasting broth. I tasted sesame oil (I could even see the seeds) in the broth along with salty miso paste. The noodles were rather tangy and springy so to speak and there was this milky feeling that you get whilst slurping the noodles down with the broth. The smell of the broth was just oishii and the spring onions tasted fresh. I liked the fact that they used the lower stem of the spring onion more as compared to the upper portion where the leaves are because the lower stem gives this crunchy texture and it gives the soup a nice fragrant smell to it. Nothing much can be said about the Tamago/egg because it wasn't runny in the centre like it is supposed to be. Overall a good bowl of ramen and I'd recommend it to those seeking for something better than the cliched ramen chain, Ajisen.
