Kuro Tonkutso Ramen (black garlic broth) 14.80 SGD

Hakata Tonkutso Ramen 14.80 SGD

For the love of Japanese Ramen, these did not fail me. I'll give both ramen a score of 8/10. Loss 2 points for the servings, as some will offer slightly bigger bowl with unlimited hard boiled egg and bean sprout at the same price but nonetheless actually this serving will make you full already,

6 pcs Baked Chicken Wings @10 SGD

All pizzas are served in thin crunchy crust. Extra ordinary taste compared to normal commercialized pizzas, as you'll think it is home made. It would have been nicer if more tomato sauce is spread on pizza as the baking made the pizza slightly drier.

Lao Pan Beancurd

Regular bean curd @1.50 SGD/Almond bean curd @2SGD

Chilled bean curd is a must try delight. You can eat it in its own without adding syrup as the taste is just nice, not so sweet or bland. Very smooth texture just like melting in your mouth.

One spoonful is not enough to appreciate its creaminess, consistency and freshness. In fact, you'll never notice you have finished a bowl of it already because you keep taking a spoonful each time.

I definitely will recommend this to my fellow expats! Cheap dessert but an expensive taste!
