I believed this is not some new news to the readers because you guys might have already seen it before me. Yup, the TVC interview for Ramen Kagetsu Arashi is out on national TV already. If you haven’t watch it, I think you can catch it in the evening on either Channel 8 or 5.
They are ranked third most popular ramen chain in Japan with more than 290 outlets worldwide. And within a short span of 6 months, Ramen Kagetsu Arashi had already opened 3 outlets in Singapore! – Star Vista, Cathay and Tampines 1.
You can customise the flavours and add oomph to your dishes with the add-ons they have. One of it which caught my attention was the garlic where you can crush the garlic yourself with their unique garlic press tool.
The most popular broth is the Garlic Tonkotsu which bought fame to the restaurant. Now, they have done it again.
Two new exclusive dishes were introduced – Ginjiro ramen and Itameshi dry curry rice.
The Ginjiro ramen is a laborious dish but is well worth the effort. Pork bones are simmered over long hours so that their natural sweetness can be extracted, Dried bonito (the flakes that you can find in your Tako Balls), kelp and several ingredients are then tossed to achieve that flavoursome goodness.
Overall, this Kagetsu Ramen original is rich in collagen and a definite must-try.
I like the broth so much that I wouldn’t mind a second bowl. I don’t even care about the calories anymore. I asked about the egg, it wasn’t served with runny egg because it might affect the taste of the broth. For people who love runny eggs, you can order the egg as a side, just like what I did.
You know, I am feeling all hungry again as I type this. Or maybe… I just need to sip a few spoonful of the broth..
Itameshi dry curry rice. Although it says curry, but it is not spicy at all.
A blend of spices lends a moderately spicy punch; even those who cannot take spicy food will relish the perfumed mixture. The rice is slightly scorched to create a crispy texture and smoky aroma.
Resting atop the rice is a wonderfully prepared egg, fragrant and cooked to perfection.
Nic, my partner for the TVC shoot. We loved the food so much that we just had to order everything on the menu.
I ordered 2 bowls of ramen for myself that day. Not kidding yo! Besides that, other side dishes were ordered which the rest of them on the table happily finished them because I could no longer take in anymore food.
T commented that he really love this.
Gyoza, which was mixed with a DIY sauce dip that night.
The gyoza was filled with juicy meat filing on the inside and crispy pastry skin on the outside. The skin is specially imported from Japan and even after frying, it retains its crispiness and chewy texture.
T, Nic and me!
Happy boys and girl with happy tummy.
Good food! New found ramen stall…… added to my list of favourite restaurants.
