It’s raining, it’s pouring. Time to tuck in to some piping hot bowl of truffle tonkotsu ramen from Kanada-Ya (if only we have 24 hour ramen shops like Ichiran). Only limited portions are available each day. And I was absolutely keen to try this as I never had this in London although they say it’s London’s favourite.

Perhaps they introduced this after I left the UK for good. It’s not a cheap bowl of ramen considering the price for a bowl starts from $25++. Pictured here is the regular bowl of noodles ($27++). So what goes into this aromatic bowl of noodles? Rich and creamy tonkotsu broth infused with black truffle oil. The chashu is marinated with black truffle and beyond that, there’s black truffle jelly topped on it. You get three stalks of asparagus and a block of nori (seaweed) as your greens if it’s the regular version.

When the bowl reached my table, I could smell the distinctive taste of truffle which I very much love. Once you dig into it, you can taste nothing but truffle. Absolutely luxurious and luscious for a truffle and tonkotsu soup base lover like myself. You can’t have this every day but do give yourself a treat once in awhile. So I recommend that you should try it at least once.

If you’re looking to have ramen during this CB period, they’re open for takeaway and islandwide delivery.
