Santouka

Although I am a proclaimed Ramen lover, I always thought the best Ramen is only found in Japan. That was after my business trip to Japan few years back. Back then, I had Ramen almost everyday, every meal for 10 days. I've gotta admit. I was a bit too conservative, always sticked to the same food I liked and not adventurous/ bothered enough to look for the hidden gems in Singapore.

Well, I've met a few true Ramen lovers recently. They've opened my eyes and let me explore into the world of Ramen. Most of the Ramen lovers would tell you restaurants like Ippudo, Santouka & Marutama offer good Ramen. True enough, when I checked them out, these are reputable Ramen shops in Singapore. I've only tried Marutama but I have not tried the other 2.

My first at Santouka was at the Cuppage Terrace. I checked some forums and got to know their Shoyu and Miso Ramen with pork cheek is recommended. Hence, without any hesitation, I ordered Miso Ramen with pork cheek and added a Hanjuku Egg :)

It was served this way:

The pork cheek was soft and tender, the soup was thick and rich in flavour and the noodle was springy. Love it, love it, love it! The picture speaks for its yummi-ness. I gulped down the whole bowl and almost finished the soup too with joy and 100% satisfaction!
