Tucked inside City Square Mall in the basement, inside DonDon Doki, there is a small eatery. Here it is. The famous Santouka. They are running a Spicy Toroniku Shio Ramen promotion. You can get an M sized ramen for 30% off! Really worth it. The soup base is very delicate. Not too salty but really flavourful. Full of oomph. The noodles are cooked el dante which is just nice for me. Not too chewy yet springy with every bite. The star of the show is actually the Toroniku chashu. There are really like the toro tuna. Very soft and almost melt in your mouth. They are fatty like the tuna and can be a mouthful. It is said that every pig only has a small sized of this Toroniku which makes it very rare and exclusive. It’s a must try. This is by far one of my favourite among my ramen crave.
Been supporting Santouka ever since they came to Singapore years ago, having started at Cuppage Terrace, and moved a few times since. I was pretty sure their shio ramen (pictured) is the same as the flagship one with pork jowl (with the amount/ type of pork being the only difference). So, I ordered the former as I was more greedy than hungry, and was left a little disappointed at first. The ramen itself without slurping the soup at the same time was a tad bland (by their usual standards) but having the ramen with some soup in a spoon made all the difference. Maybe it's just me, or a one off. Still a good bowl of ramen I'll say.
One of the best Ramen I ever had. Been to Singapore and USA Santouka. I would say their recipe is really consistent and taste as good. Am happy to see another store branched at City Square Mall basement. A must try ramen, their broth is really good. Would visit again when I return to Singapore. 👍🏻
