Great service! My mum finished the entire bowl without any complain 👍🏻 I have been to the Tai Seng outlet and thought the ramen was even better. But this is excellent still!
It was amazing and worth the wait in line ... best of all the prices were so reasonable.
My second time to try the fairly new addition to Tsuta♨️ menu; Duck Ramen. I didn't like it the first time round. This time, I am really impressed with it though I am not sure why the huge change in my opinion?
The soup base is the star here; its thick and has depth which mean it has gone through many hours boiling to create the taste.
There is a nice sweetness to it which makes me wonder whether they use chicken bones. The sweetness is nicely balanced by a healthy spoonful of chopped fresh onion.
A signature of Tsuta to balance the soup taste with 2 ingredients like shoyu with truffle and now tonkutsu with onions.
The onsen egg continue to impress. They would not tell him how long they cook the eggs for but did shared that soaking them in soya sauce will produce the soft subtle taste when one sinks their teeth into the eggs.
Finally, the yu zu cider really impressed me it has a soft sweetness to it that compliment the soup, I am not sure if it will have the same balance with the shoyu soup base.
"Reluctantly", that means another trip to Tsuta for the near future! đź¤
Finally went to this joint and was not disappointed with the quality and overall experience. Tough to find this quality of ramen in singapore for this price so it is definitely a place to satisfy ramen cravings. Staff was friendly and the whole place was very neat and clean. The ramen is more or less what you'd find in a decent ramen place in Japan (which means it is very good) but if you are used to that kind of ramen in Japan, then this isn't much of a culinary experience. One thing I did like a lot is that unlike traditional Japanese ramen shops, this place is spacious and has high ceilings. Also, the order kiosk is a touch screen wihh pictures instead of traditional vending machines. Thought that was a good bit of local sensibilities factored in. Had to take a star off because the dumplings side order was quite bland and the filling tasted overcooked...
This place is one of the only places to find Michelin-starred ramen in Singapore, and it’s pretty freakin great.
The drinks came first, being a spearmint green tea and a non-alcoholic yuzu cider. The tea was nice and all but the yuzu cider was great, definitely not skimping on the yuzu there.
The duck ramen (a promotional item, and I’m told that we had one of the last ones) possesses a broth that tasted heavily of duck, which is pretty self-explanatory. The duck broth went really well with the duck wontons and slices served with the noodles.
The normal shoyu broth ramen received a major step up from the addition of truffle oil and truffle purée, giving it a depth of flavour which is pretty hard to beat. The pork slices were well cooked, possessing none of the characteristic odour of some kinds of pork when undercooked.
The duck wontons were pretty good, possessing a nice ratio of skin to filling, and the wontons were cooked so that they didn’t fall apart at the touch of a chopstick. More than I can say for some other places, at least.
The gyoza were also appealing to the taste buds, albeit conventional. At least, until you apply the spicy miso paste provided on the side. The spicy miso paste arguably makes it into an entirely different dish, which is surprising since it’s gyoza after all.
In summary, this is better than most other chain ramen restaurants, and this place certainly deserves that Michelin star. Beware though of the minuscule amount of seating area available (around 12 seats) and be prepared to shell out at least $13++ per person, but for this kind of quality, it’s well worth it.
Less wait compared to the first few months post opening. The ramen is professionally prepared in front of customers, which shows the typical Japanese high standard on service and quality.
I personally found the tastes quite authentic, and brought the real Japanese ramen soup base out perfectly. It is also reasonably priced for a dish that has won the Michelin star.
The truffle oil injects a rich flavor into the broth. For someone like me who appreciate soba noodle a lot, this is easily one of the best ramen experiences in town.
