Finally went to Ken Noodle Shop....comment abt the same as Kifo but I forgot his advice and asked for big size for extra $2.....I'll skip dinner today.

Soup is as good as Miharu but less saltish/sweet which is just nice for me. Setup of the place is also very traditional Japan small ramen shop. Guess it serves the night crowd more cause there's only me n my wife eating there this afternoon.

Thanks everyone for recommending Ken's, it is a really nice place to go. The ramen was nice, although i am not a ramen expert, but both my gf and I found it nice.

we shared the charsiew rice and big portion of the noodles, the rice was very nice as well.

The next time i can go and try the miharu :D

hmmm we ate the char siew rice, which is basically charsiew with rice and an egg and 2 pieces of seaweed.

I am not really a gourmet expert but its just that my gf saw a group of japanese eating it and it looks nice to her so we jus try lor. Then we jus found it nice as well, haha.... and it cost $5 a bowl.

ha i m surprised by the favourable comments about ken noodles.

The noodles portion is filling, the egg is not too bad, the chashu pretty big pieces, but soup is so so, noodles is ordinary.... also tried the gyoza which is ordinary to me.

Perhaps the cook had a off day but my guest and I were not impressed with their ramen.

Overall 3/5.

sorry to disturb this thread. I just came back from Tokyo and very good ramen can be had for around 500yen only, ie. about $7. The ramen sold in singapore is so over-priced!

This reminds me of having prata in Australia where the prata with curry is priced at $8plus.
Guess like how prata is a local dish, ramen is very much Japan's dish so it is usually cheaper and better.

Hi guys, thanks for the recommendations. My friend and i will be trying out miharu next monday. Before it, may i ask what is the opening hours for it? and is the place at Gallery Hotel at robertson quay? If so, is there any specific attire that must be adhered to? or just t-shirt and jeans is sufficient?

Also i would also like to know Ken's noodle shop's opening hours as well.

Thanks

I have a disappointing experince with Miharu last Sat. After reading many forums and most give a thumb up, I decided to try it. Ordered 3 different soup base namely, miso, pig bone(cant remember the exact details) and garlic/sesame. Overall the soup base is very salty and oily. The garlic/sesame soup got a strong taste that make my throat uncomfortable.

I think I will nvr visit it again. Just my 2cents.

IMHO I still think the Ramen at Tampopo (Liang Court) is the best.

The Kyushu Pork Bone Ramen blows a non-Ramen lover away! Superb soup base and very nice pork chasu

Went to Tampopo after reading this thread again....my ranking goes Tampopo, Miharu followed by Ken. Miharu would b top if not for being too saltish but the charsiew from Tampopo is the best.
