28.11.09

0211. today was filled with ramen, first at baikohken, my favourite stall at raffles place, north canal road then later at bishamon, a friend's recommendation at raffles city shopping centre.

today's exploration (and my previous experiences) kinda deepened my interest in the art of appreciating this authentic japanese cuisine.

everything has to be done right for that perfect bowl of ramen; richness of broth, springiness of noodles, tenderness of the cha shu, combination of toppings like menma (fermented bamboo shoot), egg, corn, butter slab... yum.

some shops serve superb sides, grilled chashu and crispy fried gyoza. but all in all, the best ramen can only be decided by the bowl of noodles itself.

looking forward to having more ramen outings to come!
