The ramen craze never ends. Continuing on my ramen hunt from Nantsuttei, Ippudo Ramen, Ramen Keisuke Tori King, I found myself at MENICHI @ Nex - a more commercialised/ contemporary sort of ramen place in a shopping mall. If the regular version isn't enough - go ahead and add toppings for yourself (so many to choose from!) - there's also FREE NOODLE UPSIZE - which I snapped up almost immediately. MENICHI is one of the Japanese cuisine options in NEX. I ordered the Miso Tonkotsu Ramen & Gyoza Set

MENICHI is one of the Japanese cuisine options in NEX. I ordered the Miso Tonkotsu Ramen & Gyoza Set ($16.90) which includes a tamago side dish, gyoza (3 pcs) and the ramen itself! It is much more value-for-money than those ramen shops where one bowl of ramen itself already costs $17.
Tamago - nothing to be picked on, it is a very suitable appetizer to start with. Yummy!
Gyoza - I enjoyed this a lot and I would recommend this.. if you're not getting the Ramen Set, you can still order this ala carte. The fillings are fresh, generous and savoury... I also like how chewy the skin is and not difficult to bite at all. You can eat this very glamly without worries of the fillings falling out, certified by a klutz like me! Okay I'm biased when it comes to gyozas/dumplings/XLBs!
Tonkotsu Ramen - I think it is better than average, but I've had better... the soup base is savoury but not overwhelmingly salty, and it is very rich and thick! Like it quite a lot and would foresee a second visit for this. The ramen noodles were okay, passable. But the soup is super delicious.
Chicken Cutlet (from a separate Wafu Shio Ramen & Chicken Katsu Set) - not a fan of fried chicken and I think this one is not that good, it isn't tender enough and a little too greasy for me.
I would recommend the Miso Tonkotsu Ramen & Gyoza Set over the Wafu Shio Ramen & Chicken Katsu Set. For full review, menu and more photos, please visit http://spherepiece.blogspot.sg/2013/09/food-feat-menichi-nex.html
