Recently Santouka has this 1 for 1 ramen coupon promotion at Cuppage Terrace (ends on 31 dec), so I have visited the place twice this month to enjoy the promo and incidentally, I ordered the same set which is most bang (calorie count) for your buck.For $14+, you can get the mixed soup ramen, Awase Aji Set.

For $14+, you can get the mixed soup ramen, Awase Aji Set. It comes with a piping hot bowl of ramen soup with egg and cha su, a bowl of rice, Japanese pickles and hot cup of genmaicha (japanese brown rice tea). What is the bowl of rice for After slurping up your ramen noodles, the remaining pork broth soup can be mixed with the Japanese rice provided and it really tastes sooo good. The creamy pork soup broth really complements the chewy japanese rice! The soup broth is not overly salty too, their miso ramen has the saltiest soup broth.The ramen is also divine. The springy ramen noodles also went well with the soup and thick, tender slices of cha su were also provided. The soup broth for some reason seems rather oily, there was a layer of oil over the soup and the health conscious might be alarmed by the sight of it. But I didn’t really bother about it too much, just went ahead to slurp up the creamy, fragrant soup broth. One inconsistency I noticed was the eggs provided. The first time I went, the egg yolk was not runny enough, it was probably overcooked. There was an improvement in my second visit, the egg yolk was more runny and was oozing out all it’s yolk goodness.
Hungry people will definitely enjoy this meal. It was really satisfying and filling, especially if you manage to finish the noodles, rice and soup. Wash the jerlerk-ness of the meal away with the genmaicha provided =)
Service is perfunctory, the bowls of ramen are usually served out fairly quickly. Do note their lunch hours end at 3pm and they literally close at 3pm. In my first visit, I entered the shop at around 2.45 and we had to finish our ramen by 3. The staff dropped hints like turning off some of the lights and air conditioning, leaving us with a rather negative, unenjoyable experience. I was literally perspiring from trying to finish my ramen. =(
