While i agree that the small slice of pork cheek was soft and melt-in-your-mouth, i din like the noodles and the soup, which i felt is even more impt in a bowl of ramen.
Since i had been sick for a few days now n craving only for soupy foods n an insatiable appetite for ramen, decided to try them again.
Ordered a Tebasaki Ramen and a green salad.
The ramen came before the salad. Which made me slightly pissed. Appetizers are called appetizers for a reason.
Waited abt 3mins, my salad finally arrived looking pretty and fresh.
I like the bit of ebiko placed on the egg yolk and the light Japanese sauce gently giving some omph to the crispy fresh lettuce. A-third into the salad, there are no more sauce and the greens started to taste too raw.
So, i pulled the bowl of awaiting ramen twds me. Which, had become slightly cold by now.
I dived into the soup first, as usual to taste the soup at its best.
I let out a sigh, and worked through the rest in the bowl in a "i knew it" mood.
The soup tasted "instant" unlike most other tonkutsu soups that boasts of character after being brewed for hours.
RamenPlay provides condiments for u to spice up your ramen. And i understand why it is sooo necessary.
It tasted almost bland, and i really don't like the noodles. The acidic taste was strong, noodles not firm to the bite.
The garlic chips were unlike those at Ajisen which are crispy n aromatic. These although looks pretty in its golden colour, stucks into your teeth n not crispy at all!
The braised chicken wing was nice, just like those my mom makes. The onsen tamago was the saving grace, with the yolk molten n lovely.
While i like the decor and peaceful ambience, it is not sufficient to make me return.
