Just finished watching a movie at Plaza Singapura with my friend and we decided to try out the Tokyo Walker for dinner. Among the 4 Japanese restaurants there, Ajino Chanpon menu caught my eye. My friend told me she had tried this in Japan before and she enjoys eating it as it's served with a lot of vegetables. From the menu I also realised that not only does each bowl of ramen have a lot of vegetables in it, but each also has seafood like prawns. So anyway my friend ordered the Spicy Chanpon se
My friend told me she had tried this in Japan before and she enjoys eating it as it's served with a lot of vegetables. From the menu I also realised that not only does each bowl of ramen have a lot of vegetables in it, but each also has seafood like prawns. So anyway my friend ordered the Spicy Chanpon set meal that comes with Prawn Tempura and hot green tea ($13.80++), while I ordered an ala carte Tsukimi Chanpon ($10.80++) as I didn't want any of the side dishes served with the set meals.
Both our soup base are spicy, though the Spicy Chanpon is a bit more spicy than my Tsukimi Chanpon. Guess the main difference between these 2 Chanpon is that the Tsukimi Chanpon has a fried egg placed on top. It looked very pretty in the bowl hehe. But it was fully cooked, I would have preferred it a bit more runny. The ramen was springy enough but we were somewhat disappointed that they used the thicker version of noodles which wasn't the usual ramen we were used to. The plus point was that there were really a lot of vegetables (cabbage and beansprouts and carrots) and they tasted crunchy. We love vegetables so it was a good feeling to be eating so much in a bowl, feels healthier and we didn't feel so bloated after finishing the bowl of noodles.
Overall we aren't totally impressed with this relatively new Japanese restaurant but I wouldn't mind going again since it's not too expensive.
