Bishamon (Closed)

The interesting plastic food displays at Bishamon's outlet attracted me to try their ramen during my ramen hunting period. Have ordered the basic Chashu Ramen, where it was served hot not long after I ordered. The presentation looks exactly the same as the plastic display and I love that they were very generous with the thick chashu slices. The ramen had a good elastic springy texture and the broth was deliciously rich and yummy. There were no egg in this ramen but I figured that you can order t

Another visit at Bishamon. During dinnertime, even though there isn't a queue, there is always a constant stream of diners at this place. We got the Avocado and Prawn Salad as our starter. The prawn was very succulent and crunchy. Lettuce and avocado tasted fresh and went well with the salad dressing which was considerately served at the side. This allows you to pour as much or as little dressing on your salad as you wish. The salad included sweet corn and cherry tomatoes and it looked really at

Bishamon is a restaurant that specializes in ramen. I bought the Original Miso Ramen ($13.90). The ramen is spingy, curly and a little harder than the ramen in Ajisen but this is not to say that it is harder to chew. The soup is a thick and savory pork and chicken broth with bean sprouts, corn, leeks, bamboo shoots and a piece of seaweed. As with every other ramen dish, there is also a sliced cha shu. I particularly liked the egg as the egg white was soft and spongy and the yolk was a little run

Bishamon is current running a very enticing promotion – 50% off all Ramen on Wednesdays! As the husband and I were craving for something soupy on a cold Wednesday evening, this promotion was too good to be missed.We both ordered their signature Original Miso Ramen (U.P. $14.20++) but was quite disappointed. The char shu was served cold (likely it was just placed as a topping without heating up) through the soup was considerably warm – a definite turn off! The noodles were still acceptable though

The chawanmushi here (which is also known as the Japanese steamed egg custard) has that extra x-factor as they are really smooth and you can find quite a big piece of fresh crunchy prawn topped on it, which not only add in the colour to this dish and also added that extra sweetness to this egg custard. The price is reasonable and I will usually order it during every visit to this restaurant and goes well with almost all the main courses.

Went there with two other friends to try their ramen and we were very dissapointed. The noodles tasted like any food court grade ramen noodles. Soup does not taste good and is a far cry from authentic ramen stores. Also, the menu is priced on the high side.
