The verdict on ramen

I didn't think the ramen at this outlet was as good as many people had raved about. Although I concede I did have pretty high expectations after all the positive reviews.

Don't get me wrong, it's still very decent ramen.

I thought the other stuff were interesting though - the char siew with mayo rice! Very sinful!

You are referring to Miharu or? I mentioned a couple of ramen places :P
It's good ramen but the soup is tad too oily.

Oh was talking about the Gallery Hotel one.

That was very informative cos I've never tried ramen.
What's the diff between the 3 soups? Which do you order?

Miso is the Japanese thick paste that comes in different shades of yellow- darker means it's more salty. Soup is usually cloudy. Shoyu is like soy sauce base and soup is clearer. Shio is the one that I usually order. Soup is whitish and thick. Actually all soup types are saltish.

i like any porkbone base ramen. i recently tried tampopo black pork spicy ramen... it wasnt as good as i tot. the non-spicy version which my hb tried is better. marutama's very oily. i look like i'm wearing lip gloss after a meal there. aoba's ramen at ion orchard is too saltish for me.

I usually take the hokkaido ramen at Tampopo. Comes with a slice of pork and and egg. Agree on Marutama! I've not tried AOBA because I didn't hear positive reviews on it and being too salty was one of it!

i am glad to hear that the ippudo you ramen had in NY tasted nothing like the one in SG. I went there when I was on leave (at ungodly 3pm to avoid the lunch crowd) and went away unsatisfied. I thought it was me!!
