Hokkaido Ramen ~ SANTOUKA 山頭火

I have always wanted to try Ramen Santouka since I heard good reviews on their springy noodles and rich tasty tonkotsu soup base. The restaurant branch at The Central is small so there is always a long queue. Luckily, I was there early for dinner and no queue started yet :P

Nice colorful ramen set selection

Great view from the restaurant where opposite is Clarke Quay.
It's beautiful especially when lights up at night

Hmm, which set should I order....

While waiting for my ramen set, let me snap a view of Clarke Quay.
It's a cloudy day :(

Our order came fast. いただきます~ Itadakimasu ^.~

Look at my Miso Ramen ~ I like the rich and flavorful mix of pork and miso broth.
The char siu is so tender and tasty ~
Although there is some fatty portion, I just couldn't spit it out as
it is delicious and melt in my mouth ~ 美味しい!
Not forgetting my favorite bamboo shoots too ~ さくさく !

Tori Kara-age ~ Chuncky pieces of Tori Niku (Chicken Meat)

which are well marinated; the meat is juicy and tender.

Ebi Tempura ~ fresh prawns!
Egg mayo sauce is served to dip with the prawns and veg ~ うまい!

Rich aroma of the pork broth which makes me enjoy my ramen very much (^_____^)

Well, after writing this post, I have craving for ramen tonight ~ hehe!

R & R day ^-^

Took a day off with K and we went to watch the Disney movie ~ "Rapunzel : A Tangled Tale". It was an awesome movie and the characters were interesting and hilarious too. I love the animation, visual effects and the characters were very well drawn and lively ~ Rapunzel's long golden hair was stunning and her big poppy eyes were lovely. Flynn Ryder was charming and funny too. Another 2 funny characters that kept me laughing were Rapunzel's little pet chameleon ~ Pascal and a Palace's guard horse ~ Maximus. The songs in the movie were great and I have posted a soundtrack here ~ Enjoy listening

After the movie ended, we went for our lunch at Sapporo Ramen Bishamon which is located at Great World City. As it was a week day, there were not many customers and their service was fast.

Typical bar counter ~ very Nihon look

We like this Tofu Salad very much ~ very refreshing and the dressing was so tasty.
We ordered additional toppings for our salad. Yum Yum

See the Tamago ~ this is what i like it cooked and goes with my ramen!

Okonoiyaki Gyoza ~ taste good too.

Close-up ~ it makes me salivating!

A little disappointing as the seaweed turned soft on my temaki.

A satisfying lunch & keeps me happy for the rest of the day!

It is 14 days to Christmas & I have yet to finish my shopping

Keisuke Tokyo Ramen @PARCO Marina Bay

Headed down to PARCO Marina Bay for the 2nd time and wanted to try the Japanese eateries located on the 3rd floor. As I'm having lunch and feel like eating noodles, I went to look around for ramen. Then, I spotted a black-theme interior and nice cozy ramen restaurant named "Keisuke Tokyo". Apparently, this is their first overseas restaurant and it seems that Keisuke Tokyo is quite popular in Japan too.

What attracted me is that their ramen soup is not Tonkotsu ~ pork bone based and it is fried shrimp-based broth! I have not tried it before and wondering does it taste like our local Prawn Mee Soup :p

A refreshing prawn salad ~ love the salad dressing and lots of mayo! However, the waffle bowl was cold and not crispy at all :(

A must order for this delicious juicy shrimp long gyoza!

Vinegar, Chili oil and soya sauce for dipping your dishes

Such a unique bowl to serve my ramen ~ I wish to have one for serving my instant noodle too ^0^ Look at the garnishing, eggs, and thick shrimp miso broth ^.~ I like the noodle ~ thick and QQ. I can accept the rich flavor of the broth but some may find it slightly salty.

Hopefully I can come back to PARCO soon and try the other Japanese eateries ^.~
