| - Not the best ramen in town but holds its own amongst its competitors.
Restaurant was very energetic and lively and staff was very friendly.
1) Pork Ramen
- Soup was light compared to other ramen shops, I think its a seafood-based broth opposed to a chicken/pork broth. A bit bland for my liking
- Noodles were firm and had the "bounce"
- Egg was very soft, Not a big fan
- THE PORK BELLY THOUGH, this is why this place gets 4 stars (" Yay! I'm a fan - Yelp, 2017") Each belly slice is a cm thick so it's very hearty contrasting the soup. When you put it into your mouth, you actually forget you are eating pork belly because you achieve meat nirvana. It just melts and disintegrates in your mouth as you try to chew it. But you can't chew it because you already swallowed it and are about to take another bite.
-The pork belly comes with a friend in the form of pulled pork shoulder, which is a nice alternative to the traditional sliced shoulder
2) Pork Belly Bao
So after I had the ramen, I needed more belly in my belly so I ordered another signature, the pork bun.
-Same reaction as above for the pork
-Overall though, the sweetness of the bun itself and the hoisin sauce compliment the pork belly sauces better than the ramen.
Place is pricier than other ramen stores, but can't blame them since they are doing some weird mystic stuff to that pork belly of theirs.
Came for the ramen, stayed (and coming later) for the belly
