[CLOSED] Ramen Tenji

The black garlic signature shogun ramen have the similar Tonokotsu broth base, with garlic and the Ajitama eggs are pretty tasty nice and decent!

From Ramen Tenji at The Seletar Mall — the shop itself is by and shares the space with Soi Thai Soi Nice which also operates other brands such as Jin Ho Mia, Shin Sapporo Ramen and Atmosphere Bistro. Ramen Tenji serves only Japanese ramen with a variety of broths such as Tonkotsu, Black Garlic and Red Spicy — all of them comes in two variants (Shogun or normal). Patrons are able to choose their preferred doneness of the noodles, richness of broth and also the amount of oil for their Ramen.

The Ramen here is decent but really nothing much to shout about — opted for normal for all the options that we could make and the broth felt like it could have been creamier; thankfully the broth wasn't overly salty and was actually pretty ok to have. The Black Garlic adds a light whiff of garlic to the Tonkotsu base but the flavours were not very distinct. Noodles carried a good bite, while the Chashu, while giving the entire bowl a meaty bite, seemed forgettable. The Ajitama was a little inconsistent; a little less molten on one side than the other. Overall, it's a rather decent bowl of ramen that would probably appeal to residents in the area, but nothing fantastic to make the trip down for in my opinion.

A decent bowl with creamy tonkutsu soup base to starve off those ramen cravings.

Food review will be in another seperate post.

2nd Ramen at 50% OFF and we were tempted in. We ordered for a Red Spich Tonkotsu Ramen and Black Garlic Signature Tonkotsu Ramen.

As you can see from the order chit that we can customise the doneness of your ramen, the thickeness of the broth and the amount of oil through the Ipad. .
And also you are able to see that we have placed our orders at 145pm and until 215pm nothing was served. By now, the restaurant is barely 60% occupied with us being 90% famished.

Us: We have yet to receive our orders. How long more do we have to wait?
.
Manager: The Chefs are already cooking your orders.
.
Us: How long more do we have to wait as it has already been 30mins.
.
Manager: I will tell them to start cooking your order now.
.
Us: Didn't you just said that they were already cooking our orders?!
.
Manager: Speechless...

From the operational point of view, it is smart of @atmospherebistrosg to merge the resources of @soithaisoinice and @ramentenji.sg together, sharing the same staffs, same kitchen and same service area. But you gotta have sufficient manpower to roll out such promotions on a weekend. Worse of all, you have a manager with a nonchalant attitude to serve, less to say service recovery. Disappointed.
