I have heard soooo much about Tampopo.. and seriously after this visit.. i really wonder where have i been.. lol. The quality of Japanese food here is seriously good and value for money. I didnt really want ramen coz my bf loves it and since im dining with my friend i can 'escape' his ramen whining. Tampopo specialises in ramen and uses black pig in many of its signature dishes. My friend took the beef Nabeyaki curry udon-- think curry gravy with beef slices and potatoes in a sizzling curry gravy on a hotstone claypot.

I try to not eat too much fried food but when i look at the delicious pictures on Tampopo's menu... and the crazy array of black pork katsu dishes they have (such as the tonkatsu stuffed with cheese and foie gras!!).

And even though i dun love pork but i found the pork in the Katsudon i ordered so juicy, tender and succulent. The egg was also left runny so that it wasnt dry; loved that it was not too salty as well You don't even feel the greasiness of the tonkatsu. There are soooooooo many yummy things to try I think it is one of my top Jap restaurants for the moment. =)

Cheesed Baked Beef Curry Rice - 1st time trying cheese with curry . It was marvellous . The cheese was very fragrant and it brings out the curry well!

Overall, it was a very good meal although the price is quite steep. ( Worth to pay for such food though)

Being a tonkotsu Ramen lover, I finally decided to try the No 1 voted Ramen in Singapore.
They have 2 different types of ramen mainly the southern Kyushu and the northern Hokkaido versions. The Original Kyushu Ramen ($13.50), with its distinctive milky collagen-rich pork bone-based tonkotsu broth and thinner springier noodles,
I ordered the pork katsu Tonkatsu Ramen- Southern Kyushu version. Even though the noodle is thinner compared to the thicker Hokkaido version but still springy and I like the rich and creamy pork broth. The pork cutlets are served separately and the meat is crispy and juicy.

The Service
The waitress who take down my orders is friendly with a smile and ramen is served promptly and also top up ice-water when run low

The Ambience
The place was cosy & comfortable

The Price
Reasonably priced at around $20 for the final bill.

Overall
I will definitely come back again and highly recommended to try this!

Ordered the Hokkaido Spicy Miso Ramen, together with the salmon sashimi - Tampopo currently has this promo which allows you to order as many servings of salmon sashimi as you like as long as you select a ramen dish from the Ramen Fair menu. The ramen was really average, but I must say the slice of meat was pretty flavourful. Nothing's really spicy when it comes to Jap cuisine, so I can't say much about the spice level. As for the salmon sashimi, it was OK, fresh, but not the best in town. Yup, it's just average Japanese food for a high price.

had katsu set w the special sauce. the katsu is nicely fried, very crispy. but i felt the sauce was nothing great.

perhaps on friday evening, it was quite crowded. so tough to get the waiter's attention. but waiting time to get a seat and food served was alright.

Something that i have always wanted to try cos well... i am attracted to anything that has a raw egg as a topping. This is my beef curry rice with egg! The first few bites were yummy and it is especially good if you like gooey, soft, baby food... like me =) but i got kind of hot and tired eating it after a while. Hot because it was served in a stone bowl that kept the rice warm till the last few bites... Hmmm maybe i should buy a stone bowl cos i absolutely love my food HOT! The only thing about

The only thing about this rice dish is that it is deceivingly fatty! the beef pieces were all lined with thick layers of fats, but you cant really see it cos it is a mess of chessy, glooey, brown curry sauce. Nevertheless, I love beef fats! but of course not too much

They serve mostly carb-based, black pig-centric dishes here, with a decent selection of sushi and sashimi. Best to stick to the black pig carb dishes though, the fish-based dishes aren't particularly outstanding. The raw fish isn't bad, but repeat customers don't exactly head to Tampopo for the sushi, if you get what I mean.

Although many of their customers swear by Tampopo's ramen, I personally feel that their black pig tonkatsu cutlets are the best thing here. Tampopo's ramen fares okay but isn't super impressive, there are definitely better ramen stalls.

Tampopo specializes in 2 different types of ramen, the southern Kyushu and the northern Hokkaido versions.

We had:

1) Original Kyushu Ramen ($13.50): milky collagen-rich pork bone-based tonkotsu broth and thinner springier noodles, uses typical accompaniments such as tiny fish roe, soy braised egg, black fungus and soy braised sliced pork. The good thing about the broth was that it didn't leave a milky film on the tongue. The bad thing about the broth was that, like almost any other tonkotsu broth, it got cloying about halfway through

2) Deluxe Hakodate Ramen ($16.30): characterised by thicker, slightly softer noodles, and a less milky shoyu-infused seafood-based stock that's oiled up with a knob of butter, and this is usually chunked up by bamboo shoots, sweet corn kernels, seaweed, soy braised egg and pork. Somewhat lighter than the Kyushu tonkotsu broth, but also got cloying after a while with its overtly rich umami flavours

3) Stir-fried Mixed Vegetable & Black Pig ($8.80): loved this, soy was used sparingly, so this was refreshingly delicate and nuanced, with clean uncomplicated flavours and lots of crunch

This is my second visit to Tampopo.

Decided to order Spicy Tonkatsu Ramen so as to get to taste 2 of their speciality (katsu and ramen) in one dish. Love the combination - crispy yet succulent tonkatsu, spicy rich broth with smooth ramen.

Was quite interested to see how their conveyor belt actually deliver the dish to the table. We ordered a handroll through their electronic ordering system and get to experience the fun of watching the dish being delivered right to our table through their automated serving machine!

Should have made a reservation to avoid a long wait.Tried their speciality Black Pig Ramen. The pork bones broth was rich and nice. Very minimal ingredient of only few pieces of pork, bamboo shoots and cabbage. Though simple but quite nice.Their black pig cutlet is crispy and juicy as well.More information and photos at http://monsoontravel.blogspot.com/2011/12/tampopo.html

Popped by Tampopo (タンポポ) for dinner one evening since I was in the vicinity. Tampopo, which means dandelion(a kind of flower) in English, shares the same name with a popular culinary movie in Japan in the mid eighties. The movie focuses on Ramen, which incidentally, is what Tampopo is known for.
Located within Liang Court, Tampopo portrays itself as a casual Japanese diner and shares the premises with Tomton, its sister restaurant which specialises in Kurobuta pork.

Shabu Ramen - Billed as THE ramen to try, as featured in the Straits Times, the shabu ramen had a flavourful soup base with a strong hint of pork yet didn't come across as too overwhelming. According to the menu, the soup is made by boiling pork bones for 2 days, which I guess explains its rich flavour. The ramen was springy with lots of bite while the thinly sliced pork was tender and a tad chewy.

Omelette Rice - The omelette rice, or Omurice, was quite well done in my humble opinion (not that I've tried alot though). Moist and fluffy Japanese rice with a few token pieces of chicken wrapped up in a nice thick layer of soft and milky scrambled eggs.

Special Loin - This is Tomton's specialty and I am most inclined to agree. The meat was lightly breaded and very crispy on the outside yet retaining its tenderness and moisture inside. It tasted fresh with not a bit of the oily residue taste that tends to plague deep fried pork cutlets. Really excellent piece of pork but rather small.

Cheese Chiffon - I ordered this dessert because the other chiffons were sold out. And I actually regretted it as it spoilt what would have been a satisfying meal. The chiffon, though light, was practically tasteless and I certainly didn't appreciate sporadic gratings of cheese which did nothing more than allow the chiffon to live up to its name Maybe it just didn't do it for me.

I liked the food and pricing falls along the reasonable range. There is a wee bit of a ventilation problem there so you might walk out faintly smelling of food. The place can get crowded so going early especially on weekends is recommended.

Made a trip to Liang Court to catch up with friends and finally had the chance to savour Tampopo’s highly recommended Black Pig Shabu ramen. And apparently the pork served is not black hurhur.

The highlight of this bowl of ramen is probably the thin slices of black pig shabu. What’s so special about this It is really tender!!! Coupled with the springy ramen noodles and great soup broth, this dish nourishes the soul!!!!

It's been years ever since I went to Tampopo. I still remembered the manager removed a bad bowl of food and replaced another plate of salad, also gave us a popular dish of the restaurant to us free of charge. This time round, we ordered ramen instead of katsu dishes. I had spicy black pig shabu ramen, I felt that it can be improved; I would not reckon it as good. It just tastes average, the soft boiled egg was good though.

the ramen at tampopo is really delicious. their pork katsu ramen is the nicest i have tried. i went there with my hubby and kids. they separate the pork katsu with the soup or else the fried katsu will get soggy, a brillant idea of them. the ramen is really tasty. you can just eat it on it's own. but of course, the highlight of the dish is the delicious pork katsu. crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. the pork surprising maintain it's juiciness. the entire dish is such a delight.
