I am a ramen lover and always love to try out different authentic ramen stall in Singapore! I remembered my last time came to this ramen shop was before its renovation in 2012. Now they had moved to new location since November 2012, right next to the escalator at Ion Orchard B4.
What I love the most about this ramen stall is the texture of it! Menya Kaiko sells Hokkaido style ramen, which is a kind of thick and curly noodle ( looks like instant noodle). Unlike the one in Marutama ramen ( thinner noodle). There are 3 kind of soup base, white miso, red miso, and soy sauce. I always order the original taste, white miso soup base. The noodle come with a slice of char siew and a stalk of green vegetable ( chye sim). The char siew can be improved if compare to other ramen shop, as you do not get to taste the char siew melting in your mouth. If you have tried authentic Japanese ramen, you will know the broth is very strong, some people will say that is too saltish, but to me, Menya kaiko white miso soup is still bearable. I love the 'QQ' texture of the noodle, and I will definitely return again. Although it is a little pricey but is worth it! By the way, water is free.

I came here for dinner with a friend, and we ordered the famous chicken pot. We ordered a small pot of chicken and two small rice to go with it. We were allowed to choose two free side dish, so we chose two type of vegetables. The chicken pot was served like steamboat style. When the pot was served, you can see thick gravy and plenty of chicken in it. Soup will be added to the chicken and we boiled our vegetables in it. Soup was dark in colour with nice aroma. Boiling vegetables in the pot full of chicken essence gave the vegetables it's full taste! Sweet and tasty! We enjoyed our dinner! If you are a small eater, the small pot is good enough for 3 persons!

Was craving for salmon sashimi so went to town for this! I always prefer eating sashimi at Ichiban boshi than Sakae sushi, so decided to try the one at centre point for my very first time. Ordered a salmon sashimi and it came with 7 pieces, but sadly it was quite small piece. Tried the mixed vegetable rolls as well, it looked attracting from the menu, as it was something like cucumber roll, but it came out a little too dry, texture so so only. I ordered Sansai chasoba as my main course. It was a very big portion of noodle and i think it was too much for one person. Soup was too little, so I had to eat the noodle quickly before it absorbed all the soup. It was not very good so I did not manage to finish it. My friend ordered the Kamo Kamameshi, which was a iron hot pot rice with smoked duck, assorted vegetables and poached egg. It came together with a small pot of broth, and it said that after eating half of the hot pot rice, mixed the broth in it and tried for another taste. From the rice to the meat, and followed by the broth, it was quite tasteless. You can only smell the strong taste of smoked duck, but when you bite and chew it, is was simply tasteless. Without any sauce or gravy, I would say a No to this dish. I don't think I will visit the same branch again. Because I knew the one in Clementi mall was much better!

Always wanted to try out their dessert, so went for it around 9plus, ordered the banana pizza! To my amazed, the banana pizza was a little crunchy, so you can actually eat it with your hand instead of using the cutlery! The banana was just good in portion, but I think more will be better as I love bananas a lot! It went well with the chocolates! The pizza was not too thick, so I think it was good to be served as dessert! Besides, they allowed you to choose your ice cream flavour! Worth a try!

Went for a dinner at this place. So in order to know if is a good Thai restaurant, one must order their Tom yum soup. Me and a friend ordered the Tom yum clear soup. Taste was okay if you enjoy sourish soup, but a little bit spicy will be better. As for the main dish, we have yellow curry chicken rice. The yellow curry chicken was served in a separate small tiny pot on the plate, which I think to keep it warm. Again, the curry was not really spicy though. We had another dish, the fried garoupa, which I recommend this to all. The fish is big, deep fried garoupa went well with the sweet and sour sauce, and there was generous toppings of vegetables, like onions,capsicum and pineapple. Lastly, we had the banana fritters in caramel for dessert with around 6 pieces of them! We enjoyed the food overall.
