So happen after our trip to the zoo today, Gary had this craving for ramen! He was toking about some place near Robertson Quay and I suggested Hotel Gallery which we soon realise we were toking abt the same placE! THjie mentioned its too salty for her liking but nevertheless, she was sporting to go to the place because of us.
I was excited! Finally got to go try the place out! So 4 adults and little nat set out for Ramen!
The restaurent was pretty crowded during lunchtime so I was reading on the newspaper articles they had at the front of the shop. Seems like the place is quite well-known. Its like 1 of the top 50 restaurents in Singapore(SUnday Times Newspaper).
The restaurent is pretty small. You can choose to sit outside or inside. We decided to wait for our seat inside. Glad we did cause we had the platform seat! Fun! Me like small kiddo! haha!!
BC and Gary ordered the miso soupbase ramen while Th and I ordered the shoyu soupbase ramen. Apparently, Gary's and BC's order were different. Both their ramen honestly looks the same to me.
If you can see from the menu, there's Miso Tonikotsu and Tokusen Miso. Cant tell the difference from the pics and the english description. From the pic, it looks the same to me! BC and Gary ordered these two. WHo had what exactly, I cant remember. I wanted the special blended sho-yu at first but Gary advised me it might be too salty for first-timers. I decided to settle for the normal sho-yu.
BC's ramen with extra char siew! The smell was heavenly!!! I love his soup!! Rich and Garlicky!!!!! Really salty though! BC gave me all his bamboo shoots! I feel its a bit "smelly". I never like bamboo shoot in the first place!
Gary's ramen! He was ready to attack but rearranged back so as to allow me to take a pic! Haha!! DIn get to taste this so dunno wats the difference.
My SHo-yu ramen!! Salty!!! But the soup base not as nice as that of the miso! :(! So sad! So I ended up kept stealing BC's soup to drink. I put laods of their specially blended pepper and chilli powder. However, i think the pepper made it even saltier! haha!! I love the way they cook their egg though! Love the soft yolk!
Anyway, we were drowning ourselves with loads of water after our meal! There is a kind of feeling on your lips when your food gets too salty. But the noodles were nice and springy! Gary commented he still comes back because he loves to relive the saltiness feeling once he forgets about it after a period of time. When he ask us if we were come back again, I was thinking, maybe not. Too Salty!!! Haha!!
I think perhaps the saltiness is due to the Ramen style from a specific region. I heard from THjie she went to some other part of japan ( i forgot!) where the ramen soup she had was sweet.
At least i tried the place out and satisfied my craving! Happy!!
Some zoo pics to share!
