In one of my old posts (Ramen Play), I mentioned the rice, or don, from Ramen Play is not bad, and next time I should try their ramen. There is a will, there will a way. I got the chance to try their ramen last Wednesday at Novena.
I ordered the ramen with pig's chin meat (3 pieces). I specifically pointed out how many pieces of meat is included. If you would like to have more, there is a choice for 5 pieces, at a slightly higher price.
My ramen came with a pretty good presentation. The onsen egg is just too tempting. I started with the pig's chin meat. It is supposed to be the best part of the pig. As expected, the chin meat is good. It is a bit salty, but it is much better than all the pig's chin meat I had tried before, in terms of saltiness. Onsen egg is good too. I wonder how they make such onsen eggs, as there is no onsen in Singapore (except the one in Sembawang). It is so tender and smooth. I have weakness when it comes to this kind of egg.
The ramen itself is not bad too. It is a bit like Cantonese wanton noodle, it has quite a bit of strength.
Last but not least, the soup. The soup, as I expected, has been customized for Singapore taste. It is a lot less salty. You can tell it has been somehow diluted, to make it less salty. Well, I would say if they can keep the original soup but less salty, that would be much better. Another question I have is I don't know whether they mass produce the soup from a central kitchen like The Soup Spoon. I hope not, as that is too industrialized, and lacks personality of individual shops.
Overall, I would say it is not too bad for that kind of price. Even in Johor, you may not get this kind of food for the same price.
