great ramen
2011-08-15 22 views
I have heard good reviews about this place and decided to try it one afternoon with my friend. We tried the Shoyu ramen. The soup was really tasty but for those who can't take really salty stuff may not be able to take the shoyu soup base. We ordered an additional serving of the soft boiled eggs. The eggs were really runny and soft, went very well with the ramen. It was a must-have dish with japanese ramen. We had gyozas too. They were a little bit oily but overall, they tasted very good.

Authentic ramen

We read about reviews before we stepped in this restaurant. It was a compat Jap restaurant, hence very Jap feel. There were local as well as Japanese families dinning.We tried their limited offer fatty pork ramen with pork bone soup and high in carbohydrate ramen set. Very first thing we did was spoonful of soup to taste, wow, really good and fragrance, you could taste it was boiling for long hours.

We read about reviews before we stepped in this restaurant. It was a compat Jap restaurant, hence very Jap feel. There were local as well as Japanese families dinning.

We tried their limited offer fatty pork ramen with pork bone soup and high in carbohydrate ramen set.

Very first thing we did was spoonful of soup to taste, wow, really good and fragrance, you could taste it was boiling for long hours. The soup won our first love!


I have a bite of fatty pork, it wasn't my type of meat though. It was too soft to my taste. Whereas my set was having the normal char siew and 溫泉蛋, they were good too. The egg was cooked just right, very rich egg yoke taste. Half way of our ramen and soup, we felt full almost, it was tough for me to finish the small bowl of rice at the end. If you need carbo rich food, this set definitely is for you.

Probably the soup base was too rich, it could fill you up. Having said that we were very happy and satisfy with the meal.

After we foot our bill, they passed us a card with a stamp, tempting us to go back. I would like to if I have a urge of authentic Jap ramen.

japanese egg
2010-11-17 14 views
Santouka's Japanese egg is very flavourful!The egg yolk itself is very fresh and though the egg yolk is abit salty but tastes just as nice!The egg white is soft in the inside but tough on the outside. One of the best Japanese egg eaten so far at any Japan restaurants.So delicious that you can even eat it on its own without the ramen.

The service of this japanese restaurant was quick and prompt.Within few minutes of settling down,the ramen is right in front of us already considering the fact that it was full house on the eve of public holiday.The ramen is ok and the soup base is not too oily and just nice. The pork is not too fattening too.

At a well-hidden corner of The Central is Santouka, a small restaurant that serves up great kurobuta pork.

THE FOOD:

Unknown to most Singaporeans, Santouka is a pretty famous ramen chain in Japan and around the world. According to the waitress, compared to the Shoyu (meaning soya sauce in Japanese) and miso-based ramen, the Shio (salt)-based ramen is the most popular at Santouka and much raved among Japanese media.

And understandably so – after trying it for ourselves at its Singapore branch, we found the broth milky with a satisfyingly rich pork taste. The staff explained that the restaurant uses kurobuta (black pig) pork bones as the soup base. The tonkotsu (pork bone broth) ramen is served kyushu style with curly, springy yellow noodles, which is often sadly mistaken for instant noodles, in Santouka's signature blue bowl with umeboshi (pickled plum).

Next came the highlight, tokusen toroniku (special pork cheek) ramen! This part of the pig is premium stuff since each pig obviously has only two cheeks and hence there are limited portions. The tender charshu is served separate from the soup and the right way to enjoy this dish is to dip the toroniku into the hot soup to warm it while melting the fats. Now, sit back and enjoy the sweet velvety taste that lingers in your mouth – you would not be able to get this from other parts of a pig.

THE MOOD:

If you are lucky, you might even get the window seats which overlooks Clarke Quay. But as a corner restaurant with no more than 25 seats, Santouka is extremely crowded and perpetually with a queue after 7pm. The service, however, is great – polite staff who offers baskets for your bags and refills water promptly.

At Santouka
2010-08-10 8 views
I heard that there is always a long queue at Santouka. And I specially brought my parents there a little later (8.45 pm) for dinner. The soup base is more "qing dan" (light) compared to Marutama's. I prefer the ramen here because though it's not heavy, the freshness wasn't compromised. I ordered a set and "upsize" the portion and shared it with another person.You can view more pictures here too. http://rosh-diva.blogspot.com/2010/05/another-ramen-place.html
