Menya Shinchan

And I'm about 2 weeks late blogging about Menya Shinchan when my food buddies, Camemberu and Keropokman, had gone on with tons of other stuff!



Like both of my foodies compatriots, I was impressed with the HOT TOWELS! +1 for the thoughtfulness.


Plus the statement, Ramen is Art! Indeed it is. After attempting to craft my own ramen from scratch, it is an art and I love this artform!


So this was what I had. Salty Pork ramen. Took the "Rich" aka more arteries clogging pork oil floating on top of the tonkotsu broth. Salty... hmmm... I wished the chef would have scoop another teaspoon of seasalt into the broth. It was pretty bland for my standard which is probably at the level of "ramen whore/will work for ramen/I'd polish your shoes for that thick salty tonkotsu broth". The char shu while NOT as generous as Noodle House Ken or Santouka, it was plenty tasty. Noodles texture was kinda soggy and too soft for my taste as well. I dunno... could the sogginess be due to that we were taking pictures and not eating the ramen immediately? I'd like to visit them again to verify this again. Also I've read on some comments that there are option for firmer noodles. hmmmmm....




These were what Camemberu and Keropokman ordered. Keropokman had a miso based ramen with the same black seasoning.


Camemberu had a shio based ramen with scorched sesame and garlic oil seasoning.


Their reaction to the food was similar to mine, definitely not the best ramen we have tried. However I'd really like to try them out again. I'm a sucker for endearing stories like how the boss left the corporate world to set up Menya Shinchan to pursue and elevate the ramen artform. Reminds me of the story of Ramen Ramen at Railway Mall. However, after trying Ramen Ramen once, I won't be enticed to visit them anymore. I just like the story.
