Ramen Raves

I kept craving this sukiyaki ramen ($15++) after the first time I tried it. No, it's not the best ramen I've had but there's just something about it that makes me want to to back and eat it again. Which I'm planning to do again soon, given that it's a limited time offering.

What's sukiyaki ramen? It's simply sliced pork (instead of the usual chashu) with an raw egg that you mix in - kind of like how you would eat sukiyaki. The pork is pretty tender, and I love the little slices of slightly caramelised onion in my ramen - eaten together, it kind of reminds me of the pork and ginger dish the Japanese do so well. I can't get enough of the rich and flavourful tonkotsu soup either - it's full of umami goodness without being too 'porky'. Coupled with thin ramen noodles that are smooth yet firm, this really makes for a satisfying bowl of ramen.

While this ramen isn't a candidate for my top 5 ramen, it's probably in the top 10 list and pretty good for what I can get near work! I'm already plotting to see when I can get my next dose of sukiyaki ramen.
