Hokkaido Ramen Santouka (Clarke Quay Central)

The Iberico pork Cheek actually taste nicer with it being Aburi-ed. Like it just melted in my mouth.

The ramen noodle was el dente.

The spicy shio broth was damn good la, I prefer this to the miso soup. It was flavourful, and spiciness level was not too over-powering.

Steady dinner crowd, even after 8pm. Central gets rather quiet after 8pm. So for a restaurant to be rather full at such ulu timing, food gotta be good.

Ramen served with Iberico Pork Cheek(Toroniku).

You get to choose what flavour ramen to have, they have:

1) Shio - Mild Salt
2) Miso - Soybean
3) Shoyu- Soya Sauce
4) Kara Miso - Spicy Soybean

Selected the Miso option.

Soup was damn good, we actually finished the entire bowl. My wife preferred this.

Noodles were el dente.

Pork Cheek was tender and tasted very good.

Tender and nicely flavoured roasted pork cheek. Used to frequent the branch at Cuppage Plaza that was closed.

Ramen not as tasty as what I can remember but overall acceptable.

💬 My go to ramen place with rich and flavourful broth. Shio Ramen ($14.50++) Also ordered the Tokusen Toroniku Ramen ($23++), the pork cheeks are succulent and kind of melts in your mouth. Would probably give the aburi tokusen a try next time for more flavour.

An S$18.50 bowl of piping hot Aburi Toroniku Spicy Shio Ramen was something that I usually would not order, but I was glad that I did. The (mildly) spicy Shio broth was rich and it went well with the firm texture of the Ramen. Three slices of flame-grilled pork cheeks were just enough to make this meal feel complete, though I might want to add on more spring onions to balance the flavours.
