1. Akamaru Shi-Aji with egg
2. Karaka-men with egg
The ramen at ippudo never fails to impress. For us, the soul of the ramen is in the broth, and ippudo' s broth is rich, fragrant, and packed with flavour. Not only that, the noodles are also delicious, and you get to choose the hardness of your noodles, so both soft and hard noodle lovers can be satisfied. For us, the 'hard' option struck the perfect balance between firmness and chewiness.

Today, we also felt adventurous and skipped the classic Shiromaru ramen. Instead, we had the karaka-men (top) and akamaru shin-aji ramen (bottom).

The karaka-men came with a spicy miso broth which was really yummy and had a great kick! The egg was also perfectly done, with a semi - liquid yolk that accentuated the flavours of the broth. Definitely a good choice!

The akamaru-shin ramen was also fantastic. Despite the dollop of red stuff (actually blended miso paste and garlic oil) that came with it, it was not spicy at all! However, it was still extremely flavourful and enjoyable (:
