Apart from udon (which the shop’s famous for), @tamoyasg has recently launched a new series of shirataki noodles in 4 different flavours (swipe to the end to view). A zero calorie and low carb noodle, the perfect substitute for the weight watchers and health conscious individuals. The oooh-mami shirataki noodles comes with Sakura shrimp, spicy XO sauce, bonito flakes, fish roe, diced onions and a hanjuku egg. As the name suggests, it did indeed packs a punch with a pleasant and distinct umami flavour in the flavourful shallow broth (hidden beneath the pile of ingredients), with further enhancement from the dried crispy Sakura shrimps and bonito flakes. Had initially thought it was a dry version of noodles but it was actually a half-half hybrid of dry and soup noodles. The shirataki noodles were thin and chewy, resembling that of vermicelli with a chewier texture. The hanjuku egg came with a soft and fragile, slightly runny yolk which I adore, though the albumin coating could have been less firm and more well-braised. The saltiness could be a tad overwhelming towards the end but nevertheless, it was still a satisfying indulgence, completed with a bowl of complimentary miso soup and also some free flow, self service condiments i.e wakame seaweed. [PS: Shirataki noodles are only available for a limited time, so do try it while it lasts! ] .
