Menya Shinchan, Sinjiro Ramen

I guess the owner must really be a ramen fanatic.. read the reviews on sinjiro and saw the pictures.. 1st reaction was that, the ramen looks like the one from RAMEN JIRO!

Ramen Jiro is a cult ramen stall in tokyo with many branches.. They are famous for their huge servings and the shoyu , garlic, tonkotsu broth and the standard toppings include cabbage, beansprouts and chashuu.. so the Sinjiro Ramen($13) is actually a Jiro style ramen.

They have a Madame Jiro for those who want a lesser portion.. hahaha.. this really is Ramen Jiro portion… will head back to try their other ramen.. They also have some spicy sauce and extra garlic on the table.. I actually had the Sinjiro with extra bonito flakes topping..

Located at Roberston Quay beside Ryoriya Sangokushi.

 

Hup Kee Fried Oyster Omelette Newton Circus

Some artery clogging session, Or Jian + Or Ng . They have another stall at Gluttons Bay. I prefer the Or Jian, crispier since it has potato flour.

 

Ramen Santouka & Laurent Bernard

Using my friend’s nokia 8800 arte carbon to take pics, the pics are crappy..

Kara Miso Toroniku Ramen (Small ) $18++

The taste is very rich for a tonkotsu broth, but with the spicy taste of miso. I think normal miso would be a better match. Comes with toroniku(pork cheeks), menma(bamboo shoots) , dried chilli?, some cabbage? The toroniku is very soft and the taste is just right. But not a life changing bowl of ramen for me.

Tsukemen

The noodles are slightly more thicker and chewier than the noodles than the toroniku ramen. Dipping sauce comes with aji tama(boiled egg), kakuni?, menma.. etc.. the aji tama is done nicely, with the egg yolk being still molten and soft.

The kakuni in the dipping sauce is a tad tough, not your melt in your mouth kakuni. I guess there arent much fats in the kakuni.

Pleasure at Laurent Bernard $9.80++

Mr Bernard was not there at night, which explains why i could take this picture..A tad expensive for a dessert, but nonetheless quite good.

Geylang Lor 29, Swee Guan HKM & Kwong’s Satay

After reading Ieat’s blog, decided to try these 2 hawker stalls in Geylang Lor 29..

Presenting Swee Guan Fried Hokkien Mee ..

$6 hokkien mee to share, not bad, but no crispy pork lards.. big prawns, nice squid , slightly eggy sauce.. sambal is just normal

Kwong Satay ( Pork, Chicken, Pork Belly)

Satay is not bad, but i wouldnt say it is a must try, the satay sauce is abit bland.. not enough punch…

Sushi Nogawa

Lunch at Sushi Nogawa Le Meridien(Concorde Hotel)

Special Sushi Set $30 & Unajyu Set

Awakening my tastes buds for my upcoming Tokyo trip..

Appetizers – french beans(green beans?) with miso ( Nothing to shout about )  The sushi is just alright, the rice is firm and holds itself.

(Not in the pics) 1 kohada + 1 uni .. not very memorable.. the yuzu seasoning sort of overwhelmed the tastes of the kohada abit, the flesh is very tender. The uni nigiri , buttery, abit watery, couldnt taste the uni from the wasabi..

Chawanmushi – Soft and Eggy , good, with chicken bits inside. Miso Soup – Normal , with some tofu.

Didnt taste the unajyu set, so cannot comment.. hehe.. I prefer Shiraishi @ Ritz Carlton
