oh yes! I was ecstatic when I found out that there is a new proper ramen joint in the West side of Singapore! ya lah like Singapore is damn big like that.... but its a big deal when the ramen withdrawal symptoms gets bad and there are only Ajisen-Ajisen-Ajisen-Ajisen-AND-fricken-Ajisen, Ramen Ramen and Menichi... I'd rather pop open a pack of expensive Sanyo Ramen Hakata Tonkotsu, at least the soup taste right!
Yoshimaru Ramen(Managed by Jumbo Seafood in Singapore) originated from Hakata, Kyushu is now available right in the smack of parking hell... Holland Village. Found out that Hakata style ramen are typically very thin ramen almost like them wanton noodles and not the curly ones I had from Sanyo! Oh well learn something new each day.

I had but of course the Hakata Ramen. It was pretty all right. The noodles were firm and chewy, pretty much like a thinner version of Ajisen's ramen(The only saving grace of Ajisen IMHO) and the soup is rich from all the collagen extracted from pork bones. The ni tamago(seasoned egg) was delicious and charsu pretty all right. Its of the pork belly kind. However, yes... however, being a big fan of Santouka's tonkotsu broth, I must say that Yoshimaru's tonkotsu is a bit one dimensional. Santouka's tonkotsu has many layers of flavour the keeps my taste buds in hyperdrive. Oh and I personally feel that Yoshimaru's level of saltiness is tweaked for the local taste buds aka... not salty enough! :P
That said, I'd love to pop by every now and then into the depths of parking hell called Holland Village and have a pipping hot bowl of ramen at Yoshimaru.
They're now having a preopening discount of 25% before service charge and GST, so bargain hunters... go get em!
