Was on my way to TCC Novena Square when I was lured by the cute decor of Ramen Monster to take a second look.I should have followed my instincts that "cute" and "ramen" don't go well together. But I admit, $7.90 for a tonkotsu ramen sounds tempting, I was hoping to find a cheap joint for that cloudy-bone-boiled-for-hours-soup that I so love.There was no one else that the restaurant when I visited at 5pm.

I should have followed my instincts that "cute" and "ramen" don't go well together. But I admit, $7.90 for a tonkotsu ramen sounds tempting, I was hoping to find a cheap joint for that cloudy-bone-boiled-for-hours-soup that I so love.
There was no one else that the restaurant when I visited at 5pm. I ordered the tonkontsu ramen, which looked so appetising on the menu with a pair of beautiful onsen runny braised egg.
There are a choice of noodles: Kyushu(thin) or Hokkaido(thick and spring)and cha shu: Original or Lean.
I was impressed that I can have a choice of noodles. Add $3 and you can get 3pcs gyoza and free flow drinks. Added them up as I was hungry at that time.
The bowl of ramen presented to me, look nothing like the picture. The whole egg, uncut was dunked deep under the noodles, the cha shu pieces looks like pieces of unwanted meat, all irregular in sizes, with thick layers of fat and not braised.
I couldn't smell any aroma either, in fact it was so disappointing that I couldn't even bother to take a pic of my food (which i usually do) and proceed to dip my spoon in to try a sip of the soup. Salty, yet bland.
Next i put in my chopsticks and realised the noodles quantity is pretty small. A little disappointed as I was very hungry. Bite test was ok, but it tasted very alkali and just like the instant ramen i bought in Tokyo. Lousy ones I must add.
But I have to admit the gyoza is OKAY.
Food bad, service bad.
