- My Tonkotsu soup base, the soul of the noodles, seemed overwhelmed by cooked garlic or some bitterness? It slightly lacked layering or lacked the elegance/finesse compared to say original Ichiran Ramen shops. It wasn't very 'sweet' either.
- The 翠王 soup base carried mostly Basil and Parmesan Cheese, and together with the Pork Bone soup made it tasted like a pesto sauce! After the cheese melts, it becomes quite oily, nevertheless I really liked this Italian-Japanese fusionised style base.
- The Char Siu is great!
- The Ramen noodles had too much strange wheat taste? It wasn't overly comparable with the strong porkish soup base here (it'll suit places like MIST ramen better, with its artisanal and non-tonkotsu pork soup bases). I think the noodles might benefit if they were more dense and thinner, less floury, more chewy.
- The 唐辛子タレ in 一蘭 is disguised here as a 秘製みそ (Miso) Paste here, which carried little of its original attractiveness, which gives it the kick! What's more strange is that this Miso is not related to the 赤だしみそ Signage in the shop, and on the English Menu its called 'Soy Source'. Its all very confusing.
- Eggs were pretty good. Could be slightly more runny.
Overall, its a Specialty Ramen Shop with lots of potential !
