Food Blog : Ajiman Ramen

We were in the neighbourhood, Orchard Road. With the number of new shopping complexes being opened on this stretch of road, it is a wonder how some of the shops are able to survive in this cutthroat world. Take for instance 313 @ Somerset and Orchard Central. They are located right next to each other, so what's the pull factor? If you're taking the MRT and stop at the Somerset station, you will chance upon 313 first. Just a short walk away... Orchard Central. And according to my observations, Orchard Central would be more of a food complex as compared to the plethora of clothes, shoes and accessories that are in 313.

Anyways, while getting a feel of the food shopping complex, sometime last year, I chanced upon Ajiman Ramen. It's their first branch in Singapore and were trying very hard to paint themselves as not Ajisen Ramen. Anyways, as I like Ramen, the hubs and I ventured in and had a fabulous meal the first time round.

After a disappointing meal the other night, at another Ramen shop, we ventured into Ajiman again for dinner. They are my all time favourite Ramen shop now. Their soup stock has just the right amount of miso and pork base, not making it sickly thick at the end of your meal and the yellow noodles are springy. Having first tried Ramen in Hokkaido, I usually order the Butter Corn one. Generous helping of young sweet corn, head and tailless beans sprouts and strips of wood mushroom. Yummy, yum, yum, YUM!

You have to try their Chawanmushi too. The steamed egg pudding is smooth and flavourful. It comes piping hot, without any hidden ginkgo nut, just a piece of chicken, crab meat and a couple of sliced mushrooms.
