Ikkousha Ramen in Singapore's Bugis+

24th May 2013.
Ever since I had Ikkousha at Kyoto Station, I have always wanted to try the Singapore branch, hoping to get that divine ramen experience I had at the Kyoto branch. Priced at 17 plus for a bowl of their special ramen after taxes, Bugis+ Ikkousha’s is hell lot more expensive that the 950 Yen bowl of ramen in Japan, so it better be good.

Thankfully, it was an enjoyable bowl of ramen. The Special Ramen has the springy, smooth noodles that I remembered, the strips of ajitama, the sprinkle of spring onions, the eggs with a molten egg yolk and most importantly, the rich, milky and addictive pork broth. The char siew slices however, was as tender as I remembered and it was slightly rougher than I remembered.

Overall, I think the Ikkousha Special Ramen (16.50 SGD) tasted pretty close to the one I had in Japan. Mu Yao thought it was too salty for his taste though but added that with some chili powder, it was much better.
