Noodle House Ken

This is a must-go ramen place.

Always go there if I had strong desire for authentic ramen. The boss is Japanese, and I heard that he settled down in Singapore around a decade ago. You can see his picture on the menu.


The essentials to go with your ramen...

This place is famous for their char siew & stewed-boiled egg ramen. The ramen is cooked in a just nice texture rested in rich broth with no MSG. With this combination, it can even chase away my cold if I had one. I always finished the soup till the last drop! =)
They used to serve very good Katsu Curry rice, it’s a waste that they discontinued it 2 years back…


Stewed-boiled egg ramen



Take note of the yolk, it should be wet..

Another must have is their Gyoza ($5) which served piping hot, skin was crisp evenly on one side and very, very, very thin. However, I felt that it’s a bit bland but it goes well with the vinegar.



Overall, I feel that the atmosphere is cosy (as usual) and it lets you have that feel of old style ramen shops along the street of Japan. Price for a bowl of ramen is about $10-$12. People will tend to compare Ken Noodle with Marutama (Centr@l), I still prefer Ken Noodle as the broth is not that oily and price are more affordable.

阿秋甜品 Ah Chew Desserts

Few years ago, my buddy GY brought me to this small shop for desserts in one hot humid afternoon. I would say that the desserts have generally improve over the years. From a small shop space that they have until today, they have bought over the shop space besides them. Business is still as good and i would say much busier.


Look at the crowd on sat night!!

Used to have the long Q'ing system but now the waiting time is quite fast and they do deliver all the desserts to customers now. They should give me a VIP card as i have brought numerous friends to eat their desserts. So this time round i decide to intro their desserts on my blog.

The pricing is rather affordable and if you really wanna taste desserts with the real ingredients (真材食料) , this is the place to go.

They are famous for their Mango Sago with Pomelo, 杨枝甘露 ($3.80) and Ice Red Bean in HongKong style, 港式红豆冰. I was rather "heaty" these few days, so i order their 龟零膏($3.80).


Look @ the pomelo and the cube-sized mango, YUMMY!

Although i like the taste of the manago sago, but somehow thinking that chilled version of it would be better than the current version of adding in crushed ice.



龟零膏
It might look nothing fantastic, but the feeling is refreshing in your mouth and its texture is very smooth. Taste best with unlimted supply of honey by the shop. Haaa...

Didn't manage to get any pic for the Iced Red Bean in HK style, cause don't have any more space in my stomach for it =)
