Sanpoutei Ramen (Shaw House)

My favourite person’s favourite food ❤️

We waited for about half hour on a Sunday afternoon but the ramen was well worth the wait! The broth was v rich and a tad salty but it was really appetising and not jelak. Noodle texture was springy and serving size was generous. However we would have preferred the pork belly to be more tender.

Comfort food. Filling ++

After seeing the long queues at Sanpoutei every single time we walk through the basement of Shaw House, we decided that we had to try it for ourselves! After a half-hour queue, we finally got a table and decided to order the Shoyu Full Special ramen ($17.50++). The main difference between the Shoyu Full Special and the normal Shoyu ramen is the addition of two more slices of char siu, for just $2.50++ more!

The ramen broth tastes really different from the usual tonkatsu broth, as this tasted a lot less rich. Instead of the intense porky flavour in tonkatsu broths, the shoyu broth at Sanpoutei comes with a slight fishy essence, due to the use of salmon stock for the soup base. We thought it was really nice that the soup base wasn't overly salty as well (unlike the miso ramen on the menu), and because the flavour is pretty light, it is really drinkable if you want to finish the soup! 😁

The noodles were firm yet springy and they do not clump together, so we really loved the texture. We also loved the char siu served with this dish, as the meat was really tender and it came with a layer of juicy fats that was really delicious. There were definitely no regrets upgrading to the Full Special for the two additional slices of pork!

Definitely one of the best in Sg

didn’t need the extra carbs but my friend raved about this so i had to try!! it’s a small portion of rice topped with decadent pork slices and a raw egg yolk. the pork was v well-seasoned and tgt w the creaminess of the egg yolk, this was truly a bowl of goodness 😮‍💨
