I love the simplicity and the authenticity of the Ramen at Menya Shinchan Japanese Noodle Restaurant. No fuss, no frills, yet tasty and yummy! The Chashu melts in your mouth! I'm not a fan of Chashu but, this Chashu... I like!
Tucked away in a little corner of Robertson Quay. You'll easily miss it if you don't look hard enough. At one glance, it looks like a simple, small Ramen shop. When we went in and looked at the menu, to be honest, I was lost. Lots of Japanese words. Some English words without details of what each dish is. That makes it a lil hard to order. But no worries, the waitresses are ready to help.
After placing our order, we observed around and found SEVERAL Japanese visiting this lil outlet. Everyone's either reading their free Japanese newspaper or the free Japanese comic books. If the Japanese frequent this place, it must be as authentic as they can get in Singapore.
Honestly, the photos presented in the menu does injustice to the food. Just go and try the Salty Pork Bone Ramen (Rich). It's not that salty and not that rich, it's just right. So yummy! Comes with a few slices of melt-in-your mouth chashu, half an egg (with runny yolk so nice!!) and a seaweed. Nothing fanciful, like I said, but it's really good. For those who like vegetables, you can even order their speciality, Madam Shinjiro - LOTS and LOTS of cabbage - yucks (sorry... no vege for me please). They also have Sardine Ramen... ya, first time I see this in a menu. Haven't tried it yet.
SY first brought us to this place. Today, I brought M to try. We both love it!
After that we walked over to the Book Cafe for dessert - argh... they didn't have the Apple Pie that I so crave for!
