It had been ages since I last visited Holland Village and I was rather surprised to see a number of new restaurants. One of them was Yoshimaru ramen bar, I thought it would be very nice to experience enjoying a hot slurping bowl of ramen by the bar counters.At a closer look into the restaurant, their settings was not the typicalJapanese settings which I had seen in the malls, thus it brings morecuriosity in me and we decided to give it a try.The walkway into the restaurant was rather narrow, per
At a closer look into the restaurant, their settings was not the typicalJapanese settings which I had seen in the malls, thus it brings more
curiosity in me and we decided to give it a try.
The walkway into the restaurant was rather narrow, perhaps just enough for a person to walk.
It was divided into sections, with bars on the right and the normaldining tables on the left. Their walls were all decorated with white
bowls.
Yoshimaru is known for its traditional Japanese Hakata Ramen and afterordering from the friendly servers we were given a earthern stick to
grind the roasted sesame into powder then add on to the bowl of ramen.
Hakata ramen is a thin and springy type of ramen, served in Tonkotsu(pork bone) soup that has been simmered for 13 hours. Their noodles are
made in Singapore using authentic Japanese methods to ensure its
quality.
The soft char siewslices have a good balance of lean and fat. Yummy!
One can opt for the spicy version of Tonkotsu ramen or the original. Wehad skipped the spicy version as we wanted to have a taste of the
original. Similarly, I would say that the bowl of ramen was "oiishi"
(delicious in Japanese). Though it was miso soup base, the taste was not
overpowering.
It was quite interesting to find mini burgers on the menu. In order totry out all flavours, I ordered the freshly toasted mini burgers
combination platter.
All burgers are in mini versions and were halves, though they were mini,the stacks of ingredients that was stuffed inbetween were still too big
to have them down into my stomach in a bite.
The Mini chicken burger comes with mayonnaise and teriyaki sauce.
Mini Japanese Spicy Brasied Pork Burger tasted sweet and though it was indicated as spicy, I couldnt taste a bit of spice.
Mini Mentaiko (Salted Pollock ROe) which consists of mayo prawn with burger.
To enjoy authentic Hataka Ramen, do head down to Yoshimaru and have a taste of it!
