It seems there is a ramen fever in town. There are so many new ramen places opened in the last half a year. I am no ramen specialist but heard from friends that this new ramen and deep fried pork chop restaurant had opened at the beginning of the year. So the 3 of us decided to try it.The system is that you buy a ticket and find a seat and the noodles are brought to you. But before you buy the ticket, you have to decide which type of noodles and which soup base you want. There were 4 types of no
I am no ramen specialist but heard from friends that this new ramen and deep fried pork chop restaurant had opened at the beginning of the year. So the 3 of us decided to try it. The system is that you buy a ticket and find a seat and the noodles are brought to you. But before you buy the ticket, you have to decide which type of noodles and which soup base you want. There were 4 types of noodles and 4 types of soup. Let me try to remember, yellow, white, udon and chewy noodles, pork bone, soy, miso and extra concentrated pork bone soup bases. I chose yellow noodles and soy based soup and my friends both chose yellow noodles with pork bone soup. I had an extra egg and my friend had an extra order of sweet corn. We found a table to sit and waited around 10 minutes for the noodles. They arrived one by one which meant they were all cooked individually which made it worth the wait. I think the lady behind the counter is the boss as she seemed to be in charge and was also cooking the ramen.
My ramen was cooked to just the right degree and the soup was full of flavour even though it was meant to be just soy based. The best part had to be the Char Siu or pork. The Japanese call the pork pieces in ramen Char Siu as ramen is supposedly a Chinese dish. But the Char Siu in most ramen places are tasteless and woody and a great insult to Char Siu. But the pork here had a really good texture and a very nice flavour, a real pleasant surprise. My egg was soft boiled and was a nice contrast to the stronger flavours. Also in the ramen were bamboo shoot, wood fungus and sesame. My friends' ramen were more typical as pork bone soup is the most popular choice for ramen. They both said their ramen were delicious. I shared some of the sweet corn with herb butter. That was the first time I went to Banlitan. As it was newly opened, they had not started serving their deep fried pork cutlets. So I went back a second time after CNY, this time with my husband and daughter as they both like ramen. I don't have to report on the ramen again but just to say that the pork chop was DELICIOUS, the best ever !!!! . It was so delicious that I forgot to take a photo.
So let me tell you this secret. If you go to Banlitan for ramen, don't forget to order the pork chop. You will have me to thank after you have tasted the best deep fried pork chop in town.
