I would like to recommend Menya Shinchan Ramen (and no its not Crayon Shinchan), its located at a quiet corner at Riverside View. There are seats outside the shop (with table fans if it gets too warm) and also the usual seats in the shop itself and the bar tables and seats right in front of the chef.
The service is good and the food comes in reasonable time. Theres quite a fair bit of condiments on the table for your ramen soup. It was my 3rd time at this place and i ordered the Shoyu Tonshio Ramen (Rich) - Soya Sauce Pork Bone
The noodles were springy and nice, a very good compliment to the soup. The soup itself was thick and not overly saltish. It also came with some garlic flakes, spring onions and some bamboo shoots and not forgetting the egg as well. Because of the good blend between the noodles and the soup, the bowl always ends up empty when we head there for a meal. Did i mention about the char shiu? It was very good....and the fats and meat blended perfect with the rest of the dish and unlike some places where the char shiu either left a bad aftertaste, tasted too pork-y or overly dry, this was well made, very tender.
Vegetable lovers can also take note of the Sanjiro Ramen, which has plenty of greens stacked alongside a big bowl of noodles. You can also add noodles and it comes in 1/2 and 1 ball extra of noodles. Trust me though, you probably would be stuffed without the additions as it is quite filling. Extra Char Shiu can also be added although it doesn't come out to many extra pieces as well.
Overall i find this ramen better than marutama for the price (because it costs around 11 per bowl of noodles), the selection, the environment (i dunno, i seem to like a small corner shop ramen concept) and personally i feel chicken broth is too common in a chinese family dinner menu.
Anyway pipz who are interested to explore and eat good ramen and haven't given this place a bite yet, give it a try!
