Its my first visit here and i must say i've never knew the place was so big. There's plenty of seats if you venture to the inner part of the restaurant. Every diner is issued with a smart card which your purchases will be scanned onto, pretty similar to marche style.Spent some time walking around and i can see every stall has its unique ramen offering different soup base, different ingredients etc, truly a ramen town.I ordered the taishoken version since i'm fond of unconventional ramen aka non
Spent some time walking around and i can see every stall has its unique ramen offering different soup base, different ingredients etc, truly a ramen town.
I ordered the taishoken version since i'm fond of unconventional ramen aka non soup based ramen. My set is called Tsukemen Deluxe. You are given a beeper while waiting for your food to be ready. Only when your beeper is activated do you need to return to the stall to collect your food. Basically you are served a bowl of noodle and sauce separately. There is actually quite a bit of steps to follow so here goes.
1. First you taste the dipping base sauce to see if its too salty
2. Add some plain soup to lighten the taste
3. Top up some red pepper powder if desired
4. dip the ramen noodles in the sauce
5. soak it for 1 to 2 seconds then eat it
6. then also try the noddles without dipping into the sauce
The sauce bowl will also contain your pork slices and bamboo shoots and japanese green onions. I must say its quite fun to eat like this. On the other hand, it does taste a little like the can 红烧肉. The noodles were thicker than the usual ramen but still thinner than udon of course. My meal cost $18 and i also ordered extra shrimp gyozas for $5.
The highlight of the meal, on the bad note, was that i was charged extra one bowl of noodles. Apparently one of the card that was issued to us had an unpaid meal, so be warned to always check your receipt. Fortunately i spotted it and it prevented me from paying additional $15.
