Marutama Ramen

Marutama Ramen....



Located on level 3 of The Central. Was pretty packed for lunch...



its got a rather authentic japanese decor.....



the menu... pretty compact....



to be honest, not much variety (but the ramen is darn good!)...

the chefs....



i happened to be sitting along the counter wif these 2 big plates of tamago in front of me....



looks so delectable! But costs $8 so i didnt order.

i ordered a side of chicken meatballs ($5) ....



a closer up view...



the meatballs, in my view werent very impressive. I mean it was alright but taste was quite mild maybe coz its chicken.

my Char Siu Iri Ramen ($17) with toppings of pork belly stewed in soya sauce ($5) and Seasoned egg ($1)....



Freaking expensive if u ask me. But... freaking good also.

I'd say every item in the bowl deserves special highlight coz everything was so good!

the soup was tasty yet not to salty. though i usually tend to like saltish or heavier flavouring, this one was just nice... in fact its good! even the colour looks exceptionally appetising!

the char siu.....



it was soft and seasoned nicely. Mmmmm... so far compared to the rest of the japanese char siu i've tried (i dare say in my entire life), this one is the best!

and the springy noodles.....



nt gerlard at all.. doesnt make me feel that its overfilling but just nice.

the pork belly stewed in soya sauce....



Oooo.. so good! Love the fact dat it doesnt come wif skin.. tender meat.... yummilious taste! NICE!

and the egg... its a i guess u can consider it hard boiled but the yolk was still semi-liquid....



Mmmmm Mmmm!!

Definitely going back again. i highly recommend this! I feel dat dar dar, loh gong zai, uncle sq, meixin and lea will probably like this too..... MMmmmmmmm~

it pales in comparison to ken..i really don't like the ramen here! i think it looks like ajisen ramen..quite sucky.
prefer ken's soup broth, or nanten. chicken soup broth (at this place) is abit weird lah, i'm more used to the usual pork broth. the soup here is abit like chicken stock cubes thrown in..
a huge disapptment for me after hearing so many raves...:(
well, but to each his own..
