Great Tonkatsu, but best ramen? Maybe
2014-11-19 459 views
For the full review, read herpenandfork.blogspot.sgThere was no queue when we entered at around 1.30pm.Of all its Ramen offerings on the menu, the most popular and commonly recommended ones are the Tonkatsu Ramen ($16.80) and Black Pig Shabu Ramen ($14.30). We ordered one of each, and mine was the BP Shabu Ramen. They offer the BP Shabu Ramen in 3 versions - basic, double meat ($15.80) and deluxe (comes with corn and soft boiled egg at $16.30).

There was no queue when we entered at around 1.30pm.

Of all its Ramen offerings on the menu, the most popular and commonly recommended ones are the Tonkatsu Ramen ($16.80) and Black Pig Shabu Ramen ($14.30). We ordered one of each, and mine was the BP Shabu Ramen. They offer the BP Shabu Ramen in 3 versions - basic, double meat ($15.80) and deluxe (comes with corn and soft boiled egg at $16.30). I am not a fan of the staple and some say must-have soft-boiled egg((specifically egg yolk), so the basic was enough for me.

The ramen took quite some time (15 minutes) to come, and we thought it was pretty slow given that there was not that much of a crowd.

 Black Pork Shabu Ramen and Tonkatsu Ramen

The Tonkatsu on the Tonkatsu Ramen looked really crispy on the outside and each bite was punctuated with a nice crunch of the golden batter. It wasn't too fatty too, and the pork meat inside was succulent. It really is a Tonkatsu worth trying. The ramen itself wasn't overwhelming. I felt the tonkotsu (pig bone) soup base could be thicker, which would make it even more flavorful. The noodles were done springy, but again nothing outstanding. Do remember to try the restaurant's homemade Tonkatsu sauce when eating a piece of the Tonkatsu. It does add a different dimension to the taste of the Tonkatsu. The ramen does not come with a soft-boiled egg though, but you can order it separately. For people who cannot take spiciness, you may opt to remove the chilli flakes.

 Tonkatsu Ramen

As for my own BP Shabu Ramen, the pork slices were wonderfully thin and tender. The shabu slices are not marinated, so that you can taste the freshness and full flavour of the black pig pork. Hence, this may not be for those who like heavier flavours. The ramen soup tasted like the soup base of the Tonkatsu Ramen, so probably they used the same for both Ramen. Again though, nothing overwhelming, though decent.

 Prices are a little on the high side, given that you can easily get ramen matching the same standards or even better, priced around $10-$14 which will include ingredients such as seaweed and soft-boiled egg. However, the portion was big enough and we came out stuffed to the brim from all the soup and noodles. If you are in town, it can be worth a try if you are craving for decent ramen, but otherwise, it does not make much of an impression apart from the Tonkatsu.

on their menu, they offered sushi and bento sets. and they also offer sukiyaki and nanbe set. For our case, we decided on their most expensive shabu set lol. for this set, we were given their premium beef and it comes with vege, desert too. at the end of the shabu, they will use the stock from the shabu to cook porridge which is really good. enough said, let the pictures do the talking

the sauce for shabu and is really good. i love the sesame sauce!

Beef!

Pink slices of beef that goes into a pot of hot soup comes out so nicely. Eaten together with the sweet shabushabu soup and the cabbage, this dish is really good for the cold weather or just about anytime of the day. love the thin slices of beef that goes well with the sweet shabushabu sauce and the genrous amount of vegetabke, tofu and mushrooms found inside the hot pot.

Deluxe ramen in Takashimaya

As Japanese food is one of my favourite cuisines, we decided to head to Tampopo, a Japanese restaurant in Takashimaya to try out the ramen there.

 The broth was creamy and a tad too salty, but the chewy noodles and pork made up for it. The best part would have to be the egg which was half-cooked with a melt-in-your-mouth egg yolk! All in all, it was a very satisfying bowl of Ramen and I will definitely be heading back to try out the other ramen dishes!

For about $16 including GST and service charge, it is around the average price for a bowl of Ramen.

 We ordered the unagi bento set.Not much comment of it as it is standard presentation and the taste is good. However, it is a bit dry without any sauce to go with the unagi and rice. The portion is not value for the price in my point of view.

 Black Pig Shabu ramen which is the chef recommendation in the menu.(S$ 14.30). The ramen texture is Q, tangy and smooth. The fragrance taste of the soup isn't strong and i don't really enjoy it. The interlaced fats in the slice of black pork was essential for the tenderness of the meat.

 Baked scallop with cheese S$ 12.80.
The scallop size is big really tempting. It goes well with the cheese and egg. You can feel the freshness of the scallop when you taste it.

 Overall the foods are acceptable but kinda pricey.
The staffs are there at your service and the waiting time is within 20 minutes.
However, if you are looking for cosy ambience for dining, Tampopo can be included in your list of the choice.

Tampopo serves an extensive menu of Japanese cuisine. not only has good shabu shabu and sushi, it also has really good ramen. This ramen also has an option of adding double meat. The difference in cost is only about $3. They also provide free ice water which many of the restaurants now do not provide. i think that it is a basic requirement that all restaurants should have.

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.

 The restaurant has a neat layout of vertical lines dividing its' restaurant into sections. Largely empty although it's the lunch hour, it's a mixture of Japanese cum chinese interior design feel. The atmosphere makes our appetite grows bigger!

 We were spoilt for choices, there were about 4 sets of menu and it took a long time before deciding on what to eat. They were very informative with their dishes. Even things like how the soup (Pork & bone soup) have been made has been made known to the customer, it turns out they actually take 2 days to boil the soup, thus making it more expensive! There are a lot of flexibility in choosing what dish you'd love to eat.

 My friend ordered a bowl of Deluxe Tampopo Black Pig Shabu Ramen (Costs $16.30). Its' pork & bone soup base is really delicious! With sweet corn added in, the soup had a slight hint of spice and sweetness. I was pleasantly refreshed by the taste and the fresh ramen made it more delicious! There were very little pieces of black pig due to the large cost of it (it'd cost $7.80 for 2 pieces of BBQ Black Pig slices).

 There was a tray of condiments (chopsticks, serviettes) as well as Tampopo in-house special home-made sauce, some chilli spices, chilli oil, chilli pepper, toothpick. The only thing that they are missing is the tray where we can pour the sauce in! We tried mixing the tampopo in-house special home-made sauce with the meat we had but it totally did not go well, i think we have to mix it with the special deep-fry Black pork fillet.

 Just look at the delicious bowl that I've ordered! Tampopo BP King's Ramen ($15.30) is a great delight for all carnivores! Being a meat-lover, I enjoyed the abundance of meat until I realized the soup was quite saltish when you eat overtime. I guess the salt was all below?

Ok Ramen
2011-12-27 16 views
Knowing Tampopo being selected as top 10 best Ramen in Singapore, I am so excited that I finally have the chance to try it. I ordered the Black Pig King's Ramen ($15.30), which is supposed to be one of the signature Ramen of the shop. The portion of the Ramen is quite large, with the soup nearly overflow. The clear soup base quite tasty, but I don't really like the noodles. The pork itself is not that tender too. Overall speaking, the Ramen is Ok, but I have had a better one elsewhere.
