This Ippudo branch is relatively quiet, hidden away inside Silvercord in TST, far from the noisy street. It is indeed a quiet ambiance too, with soft jazz music playing in the background and no sounds heard from the kitchen.There is an afternoon tea set on offer but I am here for the Oyster Shoyu Ramen. There is a set with the ramen and an Ice Cream Float for $108, and I choose that.The Ice Cream Float is a simple drink of your choice of soda (cream soda, cola or sprite), topped with a scoop of
There is an afternoon tea set on offer but I am here for the Oyster Shoyu Ramen. There is a set with the ramen and an Ice Cream Float for $108, and I choose that.
The Ice Cream Float is a simple drink of your choice of soda (cream soda, cola or sprite), topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The ice cream melts into the drink and it is creamy and refreshing.
The ramen arrives and it is a relatively small bowl considering the price. However, I came to realise that the portion was quite enough because it is very rich and fills you right up. At first taste, the milky broth has a strong kick of oyster flavour, almost like some oysters have been rendered into the pork bone soup. It is smooth and thick and clings onto the thick ramen noodles. The noodles are cooked well, retaining some bite and had a pleasant chew. I took one oyster, and it is a shiny, plump piece of flesh that I bite into. The meat is tender and has a deep taste of the sea. I am transported to memories of eating freshly grilled oysters at the seafood markets in Japan. Other topping include two unremarkable pieces of pork, cabbage, some chives and small dab of chilli that makes little difference to the overall taste. The star is the oyster, and amazingly, the two pieces were more than enough.
After eating a few bites of the noodles and soup, I found that the dish was rather filling. The portion is more than enough, even for my greedy appetite.
A must-try for those who love the taste of Japanese oysters.
