[Admiralty Ramen] Fair food, excellent service!
2013-01-28 50 views
I asked the fellow diners whether they wanted Simply Life (which I was secretly vetting for) or Ippudo. All votes went to Ippudo. ._. I love Simply Life, btw. Slightly bummed, but nonetheless excited because I could add another contender to my ongoing Ramen quest. Environment:Not too bad, tables quite closely packed and you might have to share a table with strangers at lunch hour. Service:Best ever!!! Although this is a chain store and gives people a somewhat 'fast food' feeling where you don't

Environment:
Not too bad, tables quite closely packed and you might have to share a table with strangers at lunch hour.

Service:
Best ever!!! Although this is a chain store and gives people a somewhat 'fast food' feeling where you don't expect a lot of service...I was pleasantly surprised. The waitstaff were extremely attentive and helpful and polite.
Service helped make this Ramen experience a rather delightful one!

 The soup wasn't thick and satisfying like the one at Nagahama. I was glad that the 'no-oil' option was available. If it isn't too cold there's no need for the layer of oil to keep the noodles warm. The pork was very tender and fatty, but not as fatty as Nagahama's. The noodles were very thin and became quite soft near the end of the meal although I had ordered 'hard' noodles.

 The soup base was much more intense and nicely flavoured than the classic soup. The noodles were also thicker, by default. Next time I'd go for this one. Same stuff with regards to the pork and condiments.

Conclusion:
Will come back for a quick fix of ramen. Not too bad at all for the price, and service.
Other Info. : When I got the bill, the cashier informed me that I'd been picked for a questionnaire online, the completion of which would entitle me to a free pork bun, or something. I completed the questionnaire and was this close to redeeming my free bun. But then the coupon expired. Boo. :(
