🍴Been seeing these super affordable under $10 ramen and had to give them a try. Would say it’s good if you’re craving ramen and on a tight budget, but would not recommend them otherwise as you get what you pay for 😅. The tonkotsus came with generous portions of chasiew but the sliced meat was pretty forgettable in taste and the ramen eggs were sadly overcooked and bordered on being hard boiled eggs rather than flavoured ramen eggs. The noodles, while al dente in texture, could be more springy. In terms of broths, the original tonkotsu broth was creamy and light, lacking the thick pork flavour we enjoy from usual ramen places. Instead, it had muted flavour and saltiness which I suspect to come from adding of vegetable stock. While the black garlic broth was more flavourful and would suit garlic lovers, the garlic overpowered the tonkotsu slightly and there was a burnt aroma (probably from actually burning the garlic as seen from some floating burnt bits). Would say my favourite among the 3, and the only ramen I would return for when on a budget, is the #truffleramen. Besides being the most affordable, it had a nice truffle aroma (but from truffle oil) and marinated diced pork. While the sauce was a tad sweet and the truffle can be jelat, it was highly enjoyable at this price point and would suit the truffle lovers out there.
