I had an intense ramen craving at 9pm and Menya Musashi seemed like the most natural option in vivocity -I've been to Menya Musashi several times and I've tried all 3 of their ramen soup bases- white, red and black (which I did not like because it was too thick and "heaty" for me!).I ordered a Red Chasu Ramen ($12.90) and this comes with 2 pieces of charsiew.

I had an intense ramen craving at 9pm and Menya Musashi seemed like the most natural option in vivocity -I've been to Menya Musashi several times and I've tried all 3 of their ramen soup bases- white, red and black (which I did not like because it was too thick and "heaty" for me!).I ordered a Red Chasu Ramen ($12.90) and this comes with 2 pieces of charsiew.

The Red Ramen seems to be more flavoursome than the white one, but also less thick than the black -plus point is that it carries a substantial, flavoursome spiciness. The charsiew has a slightly charred fragrance to it and its braised fattiness makes the meat tenderly slide off from the fats. I would have liked it with a bit more sweetness to complete the flavour though. The noodles are also a bit too cooked for me -they weren't as springy as I imagined them to be But I did like that there were bamboo shoots in the ramen, giving a lovely contrast to the textures.The decor here has really nice touches, from the tray for the soup bowls, the details on their bowls and walls, as well as the notices which are also provided in the japanese language. Also, service at menya musashi isn't too bad, and the price is reasonable too. If you're going for the first time, I do recommend the red ramen
