Went to check out this "contest" with my two other ramen buddies and we had a mind-blowing ramen experience. Basically, we tried out all the ramen outlets that were competing except Gantetsu as we ate Sapporo ramen too often. Here's a break-down of the ramen we tried:Bario (Specialty Ramen - Regular Size):Their serving size is gigantic and it seemed to be the most popular with Singaporeans who found that it was most value for their money. Their noodles are really thick and the soup broth contain
Went to check out this "contest" with my two other ramen buddies and we had a mind-blowing ramen experience. Basically, we tried out all the ramen outlets that were competing except Gantetsu as we ate Sapporo ramen too often. Here's a break-down of the ramen we tried:Bario (Specialty Ramen - Regular Size):
Their serving size is gigantic and it seemed to be the most popular with Singaporeans who found that it was most value for their money. Their noodles are really thick and the soup broth contains a strong garlic taste. Loads of beansprouts added on top and all of us found it very heavy as a meal.
Tai Sho Ken (Specialty Ramen - Regular Size):
That was the first time I ate ramen which was served separate from the soup base. You get one bowl of noodles and one bowl of soup with ingredients. You are supposed to dip the noodles into the soup and eat, similar to eating soba. I found it way too salty for my liking.
Tetsu (Specialty Ramen - Regular Size):
Another ramen which serves the noodle separate from the soup base. It tasted less salty compared to Tai Sho Ken but overall I could not taste much difference between Tai Sho Ken and Tetsu. The meat served at Tai Sho Ken was softer compared to this stall. I guess its up to the individual preference.
Menya Iroha (Specialty Ramen - Regular Size):
This is my 2nd favourite ramen of the lot. The noodles were very smooth and the soup base had a unique soya spice taste that I cannot seem to figure out where it comes from. The egg served was best tasting egg served among all the stalls I tasted at Ramen Champion. My throat felt dry after drinking the soup though.
Ikkousha (Specialty Ramen - Regular Size):
My favourite ramen stall amongst all. This stall serves Hakata-style ramen with a creamy soup base which my friends and I ALL enjoyed. We finished up all the soup and noodles leaving nothing behind. The taste was well balanced, not too salty and the egg was delicious as well.
All ramen fanatics who have not been to Japan MUST visit this place to try out all the ramen available as they are reasonably priced.
