Sanpoutei's (B1 of Lido) ramen uses fish stock for its ramen (apparently sardines). Comparing it to the other fish stock ramen i know of, Ramen Dining Keisuke in Suntec City, this one is clearer and lighter, while Keisuke's is thicker and tastier. I usually prefer the thin hakata style noodles but the thicker curly noodles served here complement the fishy stock rather well. The big winner, though, are the pork slices. The original bowl of shoyu ramen ($15++) contains 2 slices; i got the special ($17.80++) which had 5 slices and was glad i did. The char siew slices are thick, tender, and the bits of fat melt in your mouth so fast even the most health conscious wouldn't bother trying to remove them. I can safely say these are the best tasting pork slices I've had in any ramen so far, especially since the standards at Tonkotsu King in Orchid Hotel have dropped. given the lack of a queue on a Sunday night, I wonder if people actually know of this hidden gem right in the middle of town. 5/5
