Ramen stalls have been trending in Singapore for quite a couple of years, even with the influx of korean culture over the last few years, japanese culture still have it's own loyal supporters and standing strongly in Singapore.
Derp and I are always on the hunt for nice ramen restaurants because Derp is a ultimate fan of spicy ramen. He ate this particular ramen at Liang Court with his friends and he have been telling me how nice it was. So when I asked him what's the name of the restaurant, he couldn't answer me. lol!
Derp bought me there the other day, yup he know the way but not the name. The ramen restaurant he brought me to is Marutama Ra-men. Many would have called it the basketball ramen too. It's located at the 2nd level of Liang Court.
Their menu.
As you can see, it's a really simple menu with 4 types of ramen, and the additional toppings are at the next column followed by the side dishes.
They have actually prepared a jug of ice water at every table and you can refill it yourself! And yes I do hate to wait damn long to get my ice water refilled.
We ordered the Yaki Char Siew as our side dish. Roasted char siew grilled to perfection which literally melts in your mouth :) Yummylicious!
We each ordered the Nama Karashi Ra-men - Spicy Chicken Soup Ra-men with toppings as our main. One can't really tell it's spicy at one look but it really is. But the level of spicy is just nice! Not too overboard whereby one will start sweating after eating one mouth of it.
And because we knew we were ordering the yaki char siew, we didn't add aditional toppings for the ra-men. If not it will be meat over-load. I've always thought that ramen are cooked in pork broth or just simple miso ramen, this is my first time trying a ramen in chicken broth. The very obvious difference between pork brother and chicken broth would be, pork brother are much thicker than chicken broth and often more salty. Chicken broth are usually light in taste but yet not totally tasteless.
As taken from their website
"Marutama's Toripatan soup served with homemade Hakata-styled ramen noodle. Best quality of this soup due to its 100% pure chicken broth that made with no MSG at all! As for Toripaitan soup itself is one of the very difficult soup to cook. This is because the taste of Toripaitan soup are very susceptible to change in color and taste if the cooker are not detail enough in processing the soup. Every Marutama store needs approximately 5 hours daily for cooking process and preparation. This pure milky white chicken-based soup has delighted and won-over many ramen lovers' in Asia."
Not forgetting, Marutama Ra-men has super big piece of roasted garlic! Shiok to the max! Honestly speaking, I loves to eat ramen with roasted garlic and they usually come in very small form, like the chilli flakes of pizzahut. I can basically eat the roasted garlic of Marutaman Ra-men by itself!
I'll defintely pop by there again for some nice ramen :)
