Ramen 🍥🍥

Let’s talk about the 𝙎𝙥𝙚𝙘𝙞𝙖𝙡 𝙏𝙤𝙣𝙠𝙤𝙩𝙨𝙪 𝙍𝙖𝙢𝙚𝙣 (~$17) The meaty slices of chashu soaked up every bit of the creamy, non oily and robust broth: a textural and flavour filled meaty mouthful. 🥳

The ramen egg: gooey though not the most well done, I gobbled this up with the stringy Long ramen noodles. Oh boi.🍜
-
Did I mention free flow eggs? Yeah, imma say it again; FREE FLOW EGGS.

Truly unbeatable value for ramen. Buta Kin’s 𝙊𝙧𝙞𝙜𝙞𝙣𝙖𝙡 𝙏𝙤𝙣𝙠𝙖𝙩𝙨𝙪 𝙍𝙖𝙢𝙚𝙣 (~$7.90) isn’t your usual heavy-pork broth style, opting for a lighter, smoother (cleaner?) base.
-
I didn’t have high expectations considering how I just happened to walk past this, but the char on the cha shu was well done, emphasising the lean meat while contrasting the fatty bits. 🍜🍜
-
Equally as impressive was the ramen egg, though not perfect, the yolk was gooey through 🥺
-
It’s not the best esp the broth, but at this price point, definitely worth checking out.

Perhaps the 𝙊𝙧𝙞𝙜𝙞𝙣𝙖𝙡 𝙏𝙤𝙣𝙠𝙤𝙩𝙨𝙪 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙩𝙤𝙥𝙥𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙨(~$14.90) was affordable given the generosity of ingredients, but this just wasn’t up my alley.

The aburi pork belly wasn’t as fatty as I expected, and the broth was too heavy and creamy for my liking. Put together with heavier ingredients, it got quite tiring to stomach and even taste halfway through the meal. I found myself adding a lot of the free flow corn to ‘break’ the heaviness of the ramen🌽 .
The Chashu was a surprise: huge and really lean, which I liked 🍜 .For the price and the ingredients, I can’t complain much, but I can’t say the same for the service: disappointing and unaccomodating.

Dry ramen?? 😝 Braised Pork Cha Shu Mazesoba (~$14.80) was a mixture of flavours, but the one that stood out to me the most was the umami flavour sauce, coating the ramen so generously 🍜 🤤
.
Ramen noodles were thick, bouncy and chewy, which complimented the lean braised pork and chashu well! However I thought the chashu and pork was pretty dry and at times slightly tough 🍖

Unagi Udon (~$16.90): would pass on this bc this is Super normal..... probably the average unagi don you can have anywhere 🙂

Spicy Ramen Set (~$18) came with Gyoza filled with mushrooms 🍜🥟 Imo preferred this vegetarian gyoza to your normal Chinese style gyoza, and this says something considering imma veggie hater 😛 Ramen wasn’t that unique, and the attempt at charshu was okay but nothing like the actual thing, since it didn’t have the ‘melt in your mouth’ texture ☹️

Ig @goodfomood

a lil spicy and a whole lot of yummy 😋 although I wished there’d be more minced meat

7.5/10

Spicy Lobster Ramen (~$21.90) was huge bowl of ramen, shrimp dumplings, lobster balls, minced meat, Cha shu and ramen eggs 🤤
.
Chashu was really fatty throughout and the RAMEN EGGS!!!!! Done so well, flavourful, gooey and wobbly on the inside 🍳🥚 Also I rlly like how Keisuke has free flow white and brown eggs! 😋
.
Broth was honestly a lil jelak halfway and it was too salty for my liking so I’d recommend sharing this!
