As a crazy Ramen Fan, I head down on monday for lunch after seeing the review on Straits Times the day before.

The place was crazily packed and i queue for more than half an hr to get my ramen! At 12.30pm, 2 restaurants already ran out of their soup broth!!!


Spicy Miso Ramen from IROHA

Damn SHIOK! Noodles are springy and firm and i love it when its soak in that spicy but not overpowering broth. [i requested for less spicy] The Char Siew was thinly sliced and not too salty.  the only dissapointment was that the egg was seasoned enough as compared to Marutama.

Will be back again for more.
