Ramen Taisho has found new digs at Maxwell Food Centre after closing it's only store at NTUC Foodfare The Clementi Mall, joining the leagues of the young hawkers that had been recently sprouting up at Maxwell Food Centre (PS: Lad & Dad previously at Serangoon Gardens Food Centre opens at Maxwell Food Centre today as well with a broader menu). The menu only offers three types of ramen; Standard Ramen, Ajitama Ramen and Cha Shu Ramen.

Quality is pretty consistent as what I had previously — the Tonkotsu broth is thick without being overwhelming while the Cha Shu Ramen also comes with bamboo shoots, Cha Shu, thin ramen noodles, spring onions and roasted seaweed; the egg comes as an add-on for $1 extra. The thin noodles were slurpy with a good bite; pretty springy while the Cha Shu comes without the pork stench, yet carries a light meatiness with a layer of fat at the ends for the extra chew on top of the leaner strip of meat. It's pretty decent for $8.80 ($9.80 with the egg) — a good and affordable option for those looking to get their ramen fix during lunch hour at a food centre without forking out too much.
