Delightful Symphony: Yakibuta Ramen Extravaganza at Menya Musashi in Takashimaya

 


A Noodle Adventure at Menya Musashi

In the heart of Takashimaya, where the city buzzes with food enthusiasts, we stumbled upon the hidden gem - Menya Musashi. Known for their authentic ramen, we decided to dive into the world of flavors with their Yakibuta Ramen set.

The Set-Up: A Gastronomic Affair

For the ramen base, we opted for the classic White Original Tonkotsu, a pork soup base that promised a symphony of flavors. Accompanying our bowl of goodness was the Musashi Cold Tofu, the perfect sidekick to our ramen adventure. The entire set cost us a reasonable $22.90.

Noodles to Satisfy the Soul

The ramen noodles, springy and chewy, danced with delight in our mouths. But let's talk about that soup - it was out of this world! Rich, flavorful, and almost creamy (though it wasn't creamy, just really thick!). The half ajitama egg with its gooey, smooth yolk added a luxurious touch.

A Symphony of Textures

In our bowl, a square of nori stood tall, almost as useless-looking as it was useful. Well, at least it was aesthetically pleasing. Bamboo shoots and kombu seaweed added a delightful crunch to the mix. And then, there was the pièce de résistance - a colossal, tenderlicious braised pork. Soft, almost melt-in-the-mouth, with a gorgeously butaned flamed exterior.

The Love-Hate Affair with Service

While the ramen stole the show, we have to address the elephant in the room - the service. Menya Musashi might not win any awards for hospitality, but it's acceptable, given the star of the show is undeniably the Yakibuta Ramen.

Final Verdict: A Marriage of Flavors

The Yakibuta Ramen at Menya Musashi is more than just a meal; it's a marriage of textures and flavors that leaves your taste buds applauding. From chewy noodles to crunchy bamboo shoots and the star of the show, the braised pork, every element plays its part in this delightful symphony

Xiang Di Mi Fen Pasir Panjang Food Centre – Fatty Ipoh Noodles Review

  When you think of crispy noodle dishes, most of us immediately picture the classic deep-fried yee mee swimming in luscious egg sauce gravy. But over at  Fatty Ipoh Noodles (肥仔怡保炒粉)  in  Pasir Panjang Food Centre , there’s something different sizzling away on the wok. Enter the  Xiang Di Mi Fen (香底米粉)  – a rare twist that swaps out yee mee for bee hoon, and the results are worth every crunchy bite. View this post on Instagram A post shared by YumzYumz.com (@yumzyumzsg) What makes Xiang Di Mi Fen special? Here’s the magic: instead of sturdy yee mee, the hawker goes with delicate bee hoon. Deep-frying bee hoon isn’t as straightforward – it’s finer, more brittle, and breaks more easily, which means it takes extra skill to get it golden, crispy, and ready to hold up under a blanket of silky gravy. That’s already a show of craft. The glorious egg sauce gravy Once the fried bee hoon hits the plate, it’s doused with a  luxurious egg sauce gravy  that cl...

Experience Spicy and Savory Flavors with Ng Kuan’s Chilli Pan Mee Pork Cutlet Ban Mian

Looking for a tasty late night meal around Hougang Kovan area? We headed down for Ng Kuan Chilli Pan Mee for their 炸猪肉板面, spicy noodles with their delish pork cutlet for this food review. View this post on Instagram A post shared by YumzYumz.com (@yumzyumzsg) Their noodles were amazingly springy, coupled with their awesome thick chili that was spicy and marbled with texture. Mixed together with their noodles and you get a delectable and tremendously satisfying combi. Thrown into the mix was an egg with runny yolk for the added smoothness and silky texture added to the noodles. For the crunchy department comes in the form of savoury crunchy ikan bilis, as well as crispy deep fried shallots and garlic for the uplifting flavour and aromatics. On the side, we had their deep fried pork cutlet, chopped into bite-sized chunks. They were fabulously deep in distinct flavour, crunchy and varying and superior in taste and texture. Although greasy, it was a marvelous pairi...

Hunan Pork Belly at Xiang Xiang Hunan: Crunchy, Spicy, and Lip-Smacking Good

  You know a dish is that good when you keep coming back for it. And that’s exactly what happened on our third visit to Xiang Xiang Hunan Cuisine 湘香湖南菜 —this time at AMK Hub. We already had high expectations from our past experiences, but once again, their Hunan pork belly blew us away. View this post on Instagram A post shared by YumzYumz.com (@yumzyumzsg) What Makes This Hunan Pork Belly Stand Out? First off, let’s talk about the star of the show: their Hunan stir fry pork , made with a heavenly combo of Iberico pork belly and lean pork. It’s a dish that really brings out the spirit of Hunan cooking—bold, fragrant, slightly spicy, and loaded with green pepper aromatics. The pork belly is wonderfully fatty and tender, with that unmistakable richness that Iberico pork is known for. The lean pork adds a nice balance so it doesn’t get overly unctuous. And then there's the rabbit ear fungus. Yes, rabbit ear fungus—also known as Mu Er or Yunnan black fungus . It...
