Every person has their single favourite thing to eat in the world. For me, it just happens to be a hearty bowl of ramen. Deliciously comforting, warm, versatile, flavourful, thick (so on and so forth the usage of colourful adjectives never ceases to exist). Over the years, it has become a personal conquest of sorts to try and seek out the single best bowl of ramen in this country with a year-round summer calendar. The only irony that I found difficult to believe and even more difficult to accept is that it slipped my mind entirely to write up a single article about it in the past 21 posts since the inception of this platform, despite the whole inspiration behind @thintbites stemming from wanting to educate and promote the curious world of ramen specifically. Transitioning back to the core values of trying to actually inform and educate readers about a past dining experience, Kanshoku Ramen Bar is the brainchild of fellow Singaporeans Melvin and Brendon, whose commitment to serving up fresh, healthy and delicious ramen is apparent in every bowl. A litmus test of sorts that I’ve initiated and tried over the years to determine the prowess of a ramen kitchen has been to order the simplest ramen their menu could offer; in definition, the cheapest bowl of ramen on any menu. Luckily, the Kanshoku Signature Ramen ($13.90++) was a hearty and scrumptious bowl of ramen executed perfectly. The tonkotsu broth which has been boiled for 8 hours in filtered water (with no salt nor preservatives) was rather pleasantly sweeter than most tonkotsu broths available. Of course, that familiar richness was still apparent. At the end of the day, less is more. Ironically as I’ve learned from writing extra-lengthy reviews such as this, more is also less.
