A good hearty Chicken stock for the base of this dish. Topped with 7 Vegetables (Choy sum, Carrot, Cabbage, Bean Sprouts, Black Fungus, Mange Tout and Spring Onion) and Japanese-style Char Siu. The Char Siu was soft and tasty too. Quite the salubrious bowl! #noodles #ramen #vegetables #pork

Dad had this, he ate it up with gusto: unusually! Must have been really good! Char siu slice, seaweed, spring onions, noodles and chicken broth! And a little ‘piccante’, but the man likes it spicy! Slurp! #noodles #ramen #japanese #delicious

Managed to try it, and wasn’t disappointed! Chicken broth, char siu slice, seaweed, spring onions and ramen. Simple and gratifying #ramen #noodles #japanese #soup

Revisited an old ramen haunt which has since reinvented itself into a pork-free eatery. Took on the ‘vegetarian’ Tan Men, which was backed by the good hearty Chicken stock for the base of this dish. Topped with 7 Vegetables (Choy sum, Carrot, Cabbage, Bean Sprouts, Black Fungus, Mange Tout and Spring Onion). It may not be authentically Japanese, but still a delectable, salubrious bowl! #noodles #ramen #vegetables

The dish was appetising. The Chijiremen ramen noodles were firm, wavy and dainty. Accompanied with tasty toppings of tamago (2 types - the Onsen yolk was delightful, rich and yummy; lightly cooked on the outside and mostly runny on the inside), cha shu, menma and a flavourful full-bodied Shoyu broth. Enjoyable! Do like a Shoyu broth. #ramen #noodles Another chain of ramen eateries quite deserving of some commendation! So, one found SO @ Sō!

Ippudo is a chain of Ramen eateries (you know that!) and I’m a cynic when it comes to posting about anything that relates to ‘chains’. However, this was a little above-average and thus worth a mention - ‘Credit, where credit is due’! This was the ‘Akamaru Special’, a modern Hakata-style ramen. The soup was made with the Tonkotsu broth (Ippudo’s version), a blended Miso paste and garlic oil. Served with thin yellow noodles, pork loin & belly, salted soft-boiled egg, black fungus, seaweed, bean sprouts and spring onions. (Yes, I read the menu and took the details! ;p). As a whole, the noodles were as ordered (firm), the broth was flavourful (though could have been hotter), and the toppings were tasty! Nice. Domo arigato gosai mas! #noodles #ramen

Another round at Ippudo... This was the ‘Ippudo Kuro’, thick chewy noodles with barbecued pork, flavoured black fungus, spring onions, bean sprouts served in a spicy blended miso paste, fragrant garlic oil and black pepper soup. (Again, I read the menu and took the details! ;p). The noodles were as described, and quite delicious. The broth had flavour and some zing! The toppings were tasty enough! Overall, it was pretty exhilarating for a straightforward bowl of noodles! 満足 Domo arigato gosai mas! #noodles #ramen

Pretty good for airport meals. Small portion, big prices. #ramen #noodles #japanese #changi #singapore

Pretty good! Went with the ‘strong’ broth option, indeed with a good lobster flavour. However, too salty… and with flavour enhancers! The noodles were cooked to the requested ‘normal’ texture. Accompanied with Japanese-style char siu, menma, cloud ear fungus, and condiments. #ramen #noodle #japanese #soup #lobster
