Tonkotsu Kazan (Volcano loh!) Ramen Review @ Novena Square 2

Hello~! :D

sorry hor , no make up today. I'm working !!! hahahaha xD

In my conquer to try as many as nice ramen as I can in SG , I'e stumbled upon Tonkotsu Kazan located at Novena Square 2 ! :3 this is because I was sent near Novena Square two for part 2 of my internships hohohooo....

Le Interior :D

Ceiling is full of Vintage Japanese Posters :D

Le Menu~

you can save the image and zoom in for clearer picture and prices ^^

They have this special Kazan Ramen which piqued my interest :3

So I decided to order that !

varieties of sauce on the tables :P as usual , Ee-chan is ecstatic when ee-chan saw these. Ee-chan loves sauces OTL...

waiting for the dishes to arrive ^^

This is Ee-chan's Ramen :3 Negi Nitamago Karamiso~ !! :D

The Soup is clear and flavorfull :D !!!

The noodle tastes a little bit... like local egg noodle :/ somehow I wish it have more 'body' to it . A little bit too soft and light for me.

The nitamago ~ ;D nice !

Look at the nicely cooked but soft white with the slightly cooked but still runny yolk xD!!!

and this is the special Curry Kazan Ramen !!! :D

look at the smoke ~!!!!

the waitress came over to pur boiling curry soup to the hotpot !!! *A*!!!

and it was bubbling !!! bubbling right before me~ *excited~* *drama* xD

*mix**mix*mix*

Have to ask for extra bowl because its too hot !!!!! *A*

The soup is a very nice cury based soup :D ! Very rich and flavorful !xD Loves it !!

The noodle , in contrast to Ee-chan's Ramen earlier, is thicker and more dense full-bodied ! It has more bite to it. :D I prefer this type of noodle than Ee-chan's. However, that being said, I still feel that in terms of noodle , there are other better ramen shops :((((

The Chashu is nice but a little bit too tough. Again, nothing beats side-ordered Marutama CHashu *floats*

A bowl of rice is also included with every set of Kazan ramen ordered :)

So you can eat curry rice after you finish the noodle hehehe ^^

This is a plus if you have huge appetite like me :D

Overall

Will I go back to Kazan Ramen again ?

If I pass by the area, yes. But this is not a place I'll purposely go to because there are indeed other ramen stores with nicer noodle (to each his own though. I just happened to not really love the noodle here :(( ) However, the soup and content of the ramen dish is really good ^^ and the Kazan concept is actually quite cool :) so maybe , ooonce in a while maaaaaybe I'll make a trip here just for the kazan ^^ esp if Im craving for curry ramen :)

that's all for today~ ciao~ ;D

Ajisen Ramen Review

Hello~ sorry for the absence ^^ hahaha ..

I've been busy using the most of my short holiday recently and got lazy TAT;; anyway ..

for fellow ramen lovers , there is this one widespread ramen store which you must have tried ...

Ajisen

"Ajisen Ramen was found at Kumamoto, Japan in 1968. Currently Ajisen Ramen already have 400 plus chain in worldwide. Ajisen Ramen targeted to open 1000 and above food chain worldwide. Ajisen Ramen is “World Ramen”, and the slogan of Ajisen is “ 安心，安全，健康“." - [http://www.ajisen.com.sg/index.php/about-ajisen]

I had tried it once some time back, and it wasnt exactly great for the price. However, seeing that it has been featured on some posts as one of the top 10 ramen in Singapore,

I've decided to review it again :3

SO, I ordered

Cha Shu Ramen

Now, as for the taste test,

The Soup

The soup .....
is sadly nothing to rave about... :'(
it lacks the savory taste and richness that a good ramen soup usually offer.
The soup is pretty thin with a taste that is pretty shallow if you're used to what other ramen shops (eg: Keisuke, Santouka, Sanji, etc) have to offer :''(((

The Noodle

Its pretty decent , although seem a tad too soft/overcooked. Its of the consistency of hakata ramen but softer :3 However, having said that, the noodle is really nothing I'm particularly happy about either.

The cha shu meat

The cha shu is actually pretty decent :3 !!!

A little bit fatty although a bit on the tough side

The toppings

I find the combination of cabbage in this dish a tad weird :/ either that or it just doesnt agree with my palate. The ramen egg isnt a ramen egg either :/ its a fully boiled egg which is a tad overcooked at the whites especially ://

Since I'm ordering a set menu, included are :

Gyoza

which is good :3

if I have anything to say at all, it just taste more like Chinese-styled gyoza than the usual Japanese fare

and a glass of green tea

nothing to complain about the drink :P

So this is my experience at Ajisen :3

Overall

Convenient locations, but lacking in taste despite the pricings :((

Service

Service is prompt although the waiters and waitresses are somehow not exactly friendly if you want to compare them with those at other ramen shops ^^"

Ciao ~~
