Having ramen in Hong Kong can be expensive, especially when I’m talking about queuing for some half an hour, making order before entering the shop and finishing the noodles in 15 minutes at an average price of $100 per head. Each ramen shop has to be unique in the market in order to survive and attract returning customers.
This Kyoichi Ramen was owned by Penny Chan, one of the contestant in the local singing contest “The Voice” and now an actor in the show biz. Celebrity effect is definitely one of the gimmick in attracting customers. On an early Sunday evening, with zero waiting time, my friend and I were assigned seats immediately. The laminated menu was simple and it was where we could marked directly our order.
Japanese chef Nao is in charge of the kitchen and works smoothly with 2 or 3 sou chefs. Except for the VIP room, all the 16 seats are at the L-shape bar table so every customer can observe how their orders are made.In general, 3 types of soup bases - salt, soy sauce and miso are available. You can also adjust the oil content and level of ramen texture.
a) House Special Ramen 特制拉面 ($89) – 8/10
This was in fact the combination of all the ingredients including the soft boiled egg, Japanese leek, wanton, roasted pork and seaweed that you could place additional order except for the ox tongue. Salt soup base was chosen and it was of the right seasoning. Among the ingredients, the roasted pork was the best with inter-layers of fat and meat in between that brought the smoothness of the pork without the oily effect. I prefer this to the lean pork I had in Universal Noodle (Butao Ramen) 豚王. The soft boil egg passed the quality test with melting egg yolk, however, the wanton with minced pork and mushroom filling did not give a pleasant texture.b) Kyoichi Ox Tongue Ramen 巨一牛盐舌拉面 ($80) – 7.5/10
Mentioned as with “limited supply” everyday, the ox tongue was on the down side as it was way too soft then a normal piece of meat should be. I felt like having a slice of luncheon meat more than ox tongue. The ramen went with dedicated soup base which was much stronger than the salt soup base. Together with generous amount of grinded black pepper, I found the taste too pungent.05.2013
