Yoshimaru Ramen Bar, Holland Village

Yoshimaru Ramen marks the Jumbo group of seafood restaurants' first foray into the Japanese ramen fad. It specialises in Tonkotsu ramen, also known as Hakata ramen. Yoshimaru is apparently quite a successful chain of ramen shops in Japan, originating from Hakata town in the Fukuoka prefecture.

We had dinner here when celebrating Cho's birthday recently. I'm going to be really sad when he moves to Hong Kong in less than 3 months' time.


This is the Traditional Hakata Ramen Set ($16.90), consisting of a milky rich pork bone soup base, paired with thin freshly made soft noodles. Sliced black fungus provide a little crunch and the tender flavourful soy braised pork make this a hearty dish.


The Potato Chicken Croquette, part of the set, is moist and tasty on the inside, with a nice golden crispy bread-crumbed coating.


The Salad, the obligatory fibre of the set meal.


The Chicken Gyoza ($6) was wonderfully juicy and savoury. This would make for a great snack.


The Shabu Shabu Beef Ramen ($14), drenched in the same collagen-filled pork bone soup base, was topped with super thin slices of beef, decadently fatty, but so worth it.


We also got an additional Soft Boiled Egg ($1), perfectly softened but not runny, well-marinated with shoyu so the soy flavours completely permeated the egg.
