There were so many ramen stalls selling different types of ramen that we were spoilt for choice!

There were so many ramen stalls selling different types of ramen that we were spoilt for choice! Really didn't know which to choose so in the end we bought a bowl that was awarded the winner of Ramen Champion - Tonkotsu Ramen - and another bowl with the kind of pork slices that I like - God Ramen.
God Ramen $15 From Buta Ramen: The noodles in God Ramen were straight and yellow, which are relatively firm but not hard. The soup was tea-coloured and relatively clear, slightly salty. There were so many slices of pork in this bowl! The kind of pork used here is different from the cha shu normally featured in ramen. Instead, they were thin slices with lean and fatty portions in each slice - it was very much like the beef slices in Yoshinoya's beef bowl! There was also bamboo shoots and a lovely egg, which was about 3/4 boiled. The yolk was runny and the whites were still wobbly
Tonkotsu Ramen set $16: We got ourselves the set which consisted of the ramen, agedashi tofu and grilled char siew.
The noodles here are whiter and softer. The broth is full and creamy, which gets really jelat after a while. Sadly, there was only one piece of pork which was really soft and tender, almost melt in your mouth. The piece of pork wasn't even big so the portion was really pathetic! There was also black fungus strips in the bowl, but no egg included .
The Agedashi Tofu consisted of 4 big pieces of fried tofu in some soya sauce concoction which wasn't too salty. This was ok, nothing special. The other side dish in the set was Char Siew pieces which were really nice due to the strong char-grilled flavour.
Overall I think I preferred the ramen from Buta Ramen as it had way more pork and the soup wasn't jelat. However if you like broth that has a full and creamy mouthfeel, Tonkotsu Ramen is the way to go.
