This is really spicy than black Spicy ramen.
The soup base is strong, noodle is normal texture.

Tonkotsu king

Black Spicy Ramen is less spicy compare to red spicy ramen. The pork is half size of the bowl. The noodle is soft and chewy. Soup base is awesome.

Noodle: normal texture
Soup: normal thickness
Oil: normal oil level

$15.90 | one of the best dry ramen I've ever eaten! It's one of the Japanese restaurants near the orchid hotel in Tanjong Pagar.

The conversations between the staff are pretty entertaining too, if you understand dialects.

Technically the list doesn't really exist yet outside of our personal vault so it's unseen by all but the NSA and our local equivalent, but legend has it Foodgae will one day finish an actual blog post and it may well be a rushed poorly-researched guide to Singapore. Until then, here's a sneak peek at one of the entries: Keisuke Gyoza King by the glorious Keisuke group, at Orchid Hotel. .

It's a tiny, magical place. You squeeze into a cramped corner lot, sit around the counter and watch 4 men glide around the kitchen, scooping rice from 4 rice cookers, sauteing and deep-frying. Heaven on Earth. And the food matches it. There's the rice with raw egg - so simple but so good. Top-tier eggu creams the brilliant rice grains into the most comforting of starters. There's the miso eggplant and vegetables: a stir-fried flavour bomb that shoots all the way to the top of my Best Vege list. The peppers are crisp, crunchy and awash in a surprising clarity of flavour. Then there's the smokiness, the charred smokiness outside. And the namesake miso eggplant slices are laden with so much umami I need to take a breathing break every couple of spoonfuls into the dish. .

But how, you ask, is the gyoza? Very well, thank you. It's delicate but the skin still has a good chewy bite to it without being soggy and oily and all those bad things. But pop it in the mouth and it bursts opens with a delectable juicy blast. Is it the greatest pot sticker etc I've ever had? Probably not. I like mine with even crispier skin on at least one side. But it definitely ranks way up there with the best of the best. That juicy pork is just too good. Also, non-halal. Also also, the miso soup is bleh, didn't finish mine. . .
