Ramen in S'pore
remember my post regarding the ramen store I discovered hidden at the 3rd level of Marina Square? Kyo-Nichi
Beside this, Ajisen Ramen is the only place I will go to for Quality Ramen in S'pore.
I have been to
(in running order)- Ajisen (countless outlets)
- Sumi Charcoal Grill Yakitori (located at Centrepoint basement)
- Kyo-Nichi (located at Marina Sq, 3rd level)
- Ramen Ten (at Far East Plaza & Tampines Central)
- and the most recent one being Bishamon (Raffles City marketplace)
all solely for their ramen.. and I find that for some, their ramen CMI!
1) Sumi Charcoal Grill Yakitori was a shop that I chanced upon while walking through the new renovated Centrepoint basement. this was the 1st japanese ramen store that I tried besides Ajisen.
I remembered they were having a promotion for their ramen.
the shop ambience and seating was quite nice, rather spacious.
service was quick, I don't have to wait long for my ramen to arrive.
Gasp, their ramen was disappointing. the noodles lack the springyness and really is like maggi mee to me.
after reviewing their website after so long since that 1st and last visit there, perhaps their strength was in Yakitori, so they did not place much importance in their ramen.

2) Was wandering in Far East Plaza, lost at deciding on the food to eat, we saw Ramen Ten and went in. my thoughts was since this Japanese food chain outlet is called Ramen Ten, their ramen should be of some standard. I was proven to be wrong. once again, the noodles is like maggi mee. but at least their soup base is slightly better than Sumi.
I take it that because pork knuckles and bones are an essential item for brewing of ramen soup base, maybe that is the reason why the soup tasted slightly different from what I had before as Ramen Ten is a halal certified Japanese eatery, so I cannot complain much (:
The 2nd time I went to Tampines, not for the ramen but for the sushi. not bad, sushi is sushi, can't really get any difference unless it is not fresh. but still, I will choose Sakae Sushi anytime =X

3) went to Bishamon at Raffles City basement Marketplace yesterday.
the shop is suprisingly small and there wasn't much seats available. the seats were also not that comfortable, rather cramp and low back, hardly able to lean back. their specialty are the sapporo ramen series, but they also have clear soup base ramen.
I ordered the clear soup ramen (Shoyu Ramen), he ordered Special Miso Ramen from the Sapporo series. I had a rather high expectation for this shop as I have heard of it for quite some time only yet to try it for myself and also because of their pricing. it is more expensive than Ajisen ramen (ranging from SGD11.80 ~ SGD14.90).
I picked up my chopstick and poke at the ramen, and I know I'm in for a disappointment. It was in a deep yellow color, the soup was really like maggi soup and there wasn't much ingredients =( no seaweed, no tau gei, no egg.. boohoohoo..) then the cha shu is like Ajisen's, which I don't really like, tough and will get stuck to my teeth =X so all give to him, so my bowl only left the noodles and soup, really is like maggi. but this maggi very expensive and furthermore I think my maggi beehoon that I cooked at home tasted 10x nicer =X
his sapporo ramen had slightly more ingredients like seaweed and egg. I have to mention about the egg, they cooked it 50% only, so the exterior looked like a hard-boiled egg, but when you take a bite, the inside is still soft and the eggyolk can flow =X I didn't know at first, when I bite (I asked from him) and sensed sth amiss, I see how come inside is gor gor de.. eee =XX sua ku.. so I gave back to him. LOL~ hee
I also commented that this is a cruel way to kill a chick =( haha! of course there isn't any chick inside lah.
and! the serving was so little, around 3/5 of ajisen's servings (not that I can take more of their ridiculous maggi-treated-as-ramen noodles.)
throughout I was complaining and grouching about how expensive this bowl of maggi mee is.. and saying mine was like $0.60 worth and his was better, at least taste like fishball noodles (that was an overstatement) so maybe worth $3.00. hahaha!
no wonder, even though the shop was rather small, there was still plenty of unoccupied seats even though it was dinner time already.
feel like got conned! I will never be back again! >_<

you can take a look at the reviews, and decide for yourself.

after having the tries on ramen at these supposedly famous ramen shops, I have realised that perhaps there is nothing wrong with them, maybe ramen are supposed to be like this in S'pore. too bad I have been to Ajisen Ramen many times and know what good quality ramen are supposed to be (if u study their ramen, they really have two cores! that is the secret to their springgy and delicious ramen!!) or maybe my expectations are too high.
but ramen in Tokyo, Japan are nothing like these.
not even Ajisen Ramen can be up to their standard. once you have tried the 100% authentic ramen in Japan, it will take you a few months to adjust back to S'pore Ajisen Ramen standard. it is still the best that you can ask for in S'pore though.
anyone who knows of any equal or better ramen in S'pore, please let me this ramen fan, know! =D

Marshmallows ღღღ
did I mentioned before that I LOVE to eat Marshmallows?
haha, i absolutely fell in love with them ever since the first piece of marshmallow melted into my mouth when I was still a kid. I still remembered it was chocolate flavour and the cute packaging showing a colourful wooden rocking horse on each individual wrapper.
not just any marshmallow will satisfy me but only authentic made in japan marshmallow.
those made in USA or european countries are often made with too much sugar and they tasted weird to me.
My love is for those with chocolate and strawberry fillings, not those with funny JAM fillings.
I have noticed many counterfeit products especially from a country 5hours from us via air, they made the packaging looked exactly the same and many a times people didn't realised that they were being conned into paying for more than what it's worth.
even though the packaging can be copied (completed with all the japanese wordings etc), their quality are definitely something they cannot match with.
the chocolate fillings of the China made marshmallows tasted more impure.
much less to say for strawberry fillings, for Japan marshmallows the strawberry used for the fillings are oftenly CREAM type, whereas for the counterfeit, they used JAM.
Of course, taste varies between individuals, but I very much prefer the Japan strawberry marshmallows as they tasted creamy and with just the right sweetness, the strawberry Jam fillings tasted sweet but also a little sour.
the biggest difference of the M.I.J and M.I.C marshmallows can be seen easily from the appearance, they will appear wrinkled whereas Japan made marshmallows are smooth textured and appear plumped.
if you are unsure, the easiest way is to check at the back of the packaging, the place of manufacture.
the creamy chocolate filled marshmallow that I have just devoured this morning afternoon, when I woke up ((:

Can someone please wake him up from his TOO LONG a dream?
oh. what a boring life I have.
it is so freaking mundane, it's freaking me out big-time.
3 more months! i can't wait for that BIG day to come.
and I can wave goodbye to this god-damn asshole who thinks he knows-it-all!
either he is living in some serious INCURABLE self-denial or he has been dreaming since the day he was born.
he is making me feel like whamming the bricks on his fat head.
*note: the bricks were brought back by him from our neighbours. is ours a rag-and-bone company? all along I thought we were into sensor and transmitter businesses.*goodness, has he not got anything better to do than doing crappy stuffs like annoying neighbours, disturbing cats, kicking dogs and picking on people who are really contributing to the company? like doing GENUINE visits to customers
(not visiting them just for the sake of getting your passport stamped, getting free treats and meals, not forgetting to stop over at Thailand for some spas and massage) and providing quotations that actually let us EARN some margin
(all enquiries that you handle are all making a loss, might as well knock yourself into a coma and the company can at least float with us around!)Quote: One shouldn't be too confident.
My thoughts: I think you are HOPELESSLY Over Confident.
Quote: One shouldn't always think he is right.
My thoughts: You sure you wanna talk about this?
Quote: One shouldn't be racist.
My thoughts: Ya, right. if you are not, I'm not sure if anyone else is.
Quote: One shouldn't think that they are smart.
My thoughts: Omg, do you realised you are constantly slapping yourself??!
all these
(and many others which I cannot mention here else it will be never-ending) that came from your mouth are exactly the opposite of your behaviour. lol.
you've got no idea how much humor you had brought into my life, I'm laughing my head off the minute you open your mouth, and almost suffocating.
oh please, you are just another clown to me, the biggest and best ever I've ever seen in my whole life!
all the self-praising, all your mother-stories.. wow! they are the biggest bullshit. before I knew you I didn't know one can talk crap till this extent and
STILL think people respect you.
even the dogs hate you, FYI.
haha! ya, I respect how your parents can take your nonsense, respect how your wife can withstand your bullshitting.
RESPECT THEM MAN! SALUTE!
I'm gonna pin his fucking face on my wall and use it as a dart board!
Maybe not, my wall is going to give way.

Most think that the pasture is always greener on the other side, what you cannot get will always be the best.
As such, we tend to neglect and not cherish what we have right now.
Only when those we failed to treasure have left us, will we start to regret.
But it is all too late.
