I'm still remembering my first bowl of Japanese Ramen and also my first bowl of most expensive noodle in my life was from Baikohken at North Canal Road. During then I was still a schooling kid with limited pocket money but still wish to get a taste of the luscious, long simmered broth with noodles of great texture.During that time, it was considered as one of the best bowl of Ramen in that area with huge Chashu.Unfortunately, by the time when I started earning a living, the place was already closed down and my friend who had recommended Baikohken had also no idea where it was shifted to.We chanced upon Baikohken during shopping for festive goods in Takashimaya and decided to rekindle some of my old memories.Baikohken is located at one corner of Takashimaya Food Hall and narrow aisle in between the tables.The promotional topping was an excellent option to share between 2 pax as it consist of a main dish (Regular Ramen), topping and a side dish at $21We had a regular of Shoyu Ramen (Soy Sauce) with 2 pieces of charshu, topped with additional bamboo shoots and spring onions. Portion was big with savoury stock preparing under the simmering heat for hours. Coupled with the yummy bamboo shoots, it gave the dish an additional flavour and texture. Charshu on the other hand was tender.Charshu don was savoury with chopped Charshu combining well with mayonnaise and short grain rice. Happy.With so many Japanese Ramen stalls in the market these days, business are rather competitive. They used to be the better ones but nowadays with the variety of ramen availability in the shopping malls and food courts, I would say you can get better ones else where.

Shoyu ramen with butter corn ($12.50 for half size shoyu + $1.50 for egg): The curly, al dente egg noodles picked up the savoury soup remarkably well and I was pleased to find that the kee taste wasn’t overpowering. The thin slices of tender and flavourful chashu were a delight, but I can’t say the same for the flavoured egg. The egg was a little overcooked and I would have definitely preferred it to have a soft runny yolk and slightly firm( but not rigid) egg whites. The ramen is finished off with Japanese bamboo shoots and spring onions which complements the buttery (yet light on the palate) soup perfectly.For full review and more photos, please visit http://asperchee.wordpress.com/

I was surprised that there was no queue at all on a weekday afternoon around 2pm. My previous trip with hubby here, we saw a long queue outside the restaurant. I quickly scanned through the menu that was put on the wall and decided to order Shoyu Ramen with 2 pieces of Char Siew. I walked into the restaurant, wanted to put down my bag, but the staff told me to go over to the cashier counter to make my payment first. I told her my order and she said the portion might be too big for me. I replied, only 2 pieces of Char Siew right? She looked at me again and said the Char Siew portion would be very big. Ok, I would order the smaller portion with one piece of Char Siew. My bowl of ramen was served very shortly. Where is the Char Siew?There you are! You can see the size of the char siew relative to the bowl? I guess Baikohken is one of the most value-for-money ramen you can find in Singapore. My bowl of ramen cost $10.50 nett. However, a pity that the char siew was not very tender.The ramen are thick and curly type. However, I think taste-wise, it was just average.

The Miso Ramen comes together with eggs and pork. Actually the ingredient they use almost the same, but the soup. The Charsiew, the meat portion between the fats and the thinner part are proportionate. It doesn't taste too fat or too thin, it's just nice. The eggs are half boiled eggs, the egg yolk part taste extremely juicy and tasty. During the lunch time hard to get a seat there, need to queue about 3 - 5 minutes depends on your luck.
