豚骨蝦湯拉麵。有特式但鮮味不夠出。麵和配料都不錯。一試無妨。Kamitora reincarnated.Interesting prawn & pork broth.Decent noodles and sides.Worth a try.70/100同事知我間中有寫食評，知道有這新拉麵店，於是叫我做白老鼠。我殷然答應。第一眼望見店外的大紅燈籠高高掛覺得似曾相識。再看店內的佈置和餐牌覺得很像「神虎」。餐單除了小量變化外，大體亦和神虎一樣。隨後忍不住問店員，原來這店前身確是神虎，由於神虎要撤出香港，所以現在變成了一虎。One of my friends who is aware of my blogging habit told me that a new ramen joint has opened in WanChai and told me to try it out as a Guinea pig and then report back to her.

第一眼望見店外的大紅燈籠高高掛覺得似曾相識。再看店內的佈置和餐牌覺得很像「神虎」。餐單除了小量變化外，大體亦和神虎一樣。隨後忍不住問店員，原來這店前身確是神虎，由於神虎要撤出香港，所以現在變成了一虎。
One of my friends who is aware of my blogging habit told me that a new ramen joint has opened in WanChai and told me to try it out as a Guinea pig and then report back to her. I obliged.
The big Japanese lanterns outside the shop and the whole setting reminded me very much of another ramen shop around the area, Kamitora.
Indeed, other than one or two additions, the menu was essentially the same as Kamitora. In fact, the staff told me that this WAS Kamitora. The brand Kamitora had returned to Japan and this took its place.
I suppressed my urge to order the spicy ramen as I had tried it before at Kamitora. I decided to order the prawn miso/tonkotsu ramen. My friend ordered the original tonkotsu.
我原先差點點了赤虎(辣拉麵),但既然在神虎已吃過，所以便試一試海老湯拉麵，(但加了特制辣醬
朋友點了原味。不一會拉麵便到達:
賣相不錯，但面頭有一塊生菜很奇怪。湯頭是蝦味噌與豚骨的混合。雖然有點蝦味，但味道偏鹹，但無論蝦或豚骨的鮮味都不太突出。麵上不小的櫻花蝦雖然有一點提味的效果但可惜只是杯水車薪。這碗湯把分數拉低不小。The ramen came after a short wait. The broth was a bit salty. There was some prawn miso taste but was certainly not as pronounced as those served at Ebina. Perhaps the prawn miso taste was not as obvious because of the pork bone broth.
The Sakura Ebi (small shrimps, very famous in Shizuoka) sprinkled on top the broth increased the aroma somewhat, but was nevertheless quite insufficient to bring it to a really satisfying level.
This significantly reduced my rating for this otherwise decent ramen joint.
海老拉麵麵條的粗幼好像不能選擇。雖然我較為喜歡幼麵，而這麵條為粗身蛋麵，但質素不錯，掛湯能力挺好，亦有嚼勁。The ramen used were thick, curly egg noodles. The quality of the noodles was not bad. The soup hanged on the ramen pretty well. However, I would have preferred a slightly thinner noble. That's just my preference. According to my knowledge, there is no standard ramen used for prawn miso ramen.
叉燒應用了肩位，肉味濃郁。流心蛋外層味道偏淡蛋流心程度剛好。我從來沒有在一碗日本拉麵看過出現生菜，但這配搭竟然得宜。The one piece of Char Siu had good umami. Some may find the Char Siu too hard. I believe they used the shoulder part to make the char siu. I prefer the belly part but I don't mind this too much.
I have never seen lettuce in a bowl of ramen before. I found it rather odd but to my surprise, the mismatch was not great.
朋友覺得他的豚骨湯不夠濃郁但頗為欣賞麵條的質素。My friend thought that the taste of his tonkotsu broth was a bit light but he enjoyed the noodles. He thought the ramen was above average.
餃子: 肉汁豐富, 煎得不錯。The gyozas were not bad at all.
原來「鳥華亭」亦屬於同一老闆開的。鳥華亭主打雞白湯，我和同事試過兩次，大家對鳥華亭都讚不絕口。我相當喜歡鳥華亭。相比之下，一虎則較為遜色，但如在附近，一試無妨。
It turns out that this is run by the same owner of Torihanatei, a chicken broth ramen joint. I have a soft spot for chicken ramen and Torihanatei is most certainly one of my favorites.
I highly recommend Torohanatei. Nevertheless, this is not a bad option if you are around the area.
7/10
