Orchard Road's little secret!

For ramen lovers, here's a new place to add to those ramen places that you frequent. The best part of it all? It's in the heart of town. Ken's noodle house is in Orchard Plaza. For those who are not familiar with the region, it's the building before Hotel Meridien and after Orchard Point (OG).

Ok, enough about the location. Let's move on to the food.

The ramen ordered was cha siew ramen and stewed egg ramen as shown in the pictures below. In addition, gyoza was also ordered. The selection of ramen is less if you compare it to other ramen places like ramen ten, ajisen but I'm sure the quality of the food more than makes up for it. There's miso or shoyu ramen as well. Cold Soba for those looking for something else too.

After a short wait, the food arrived! Let's just say that I love the fact that Japanese are soooo big on presentation. The ramen arrived looking like those goregous window displays. Ken's noodle house's ramen is not only fantastic looking but also absolutely delicious. The ramen soup is cooked up to 8 hrs such that the flavours are immersed in the soup and makes you want to finish up the whole bowl of soup. The cha siew ramen came with 4 huge slices of cha siew while the stewed egg ramen had 2 slices of cha siew and one stewed egg. The stewed egg was so beautiful. It looked like a normal hardboiled egg but when you bite into the yolk, it's like a lovely gold nugget of 3/4 boiled yolky goodness. :) The noodles were springy and at first glance, it seemed to be like the normal yellow egg noodles in other foodcourts. However, one bite into the noodles and the ramen speaks for itself. This is one noodle that is firm and springy, good to slurp up and lacks the artificial instant noodle or factory made taste. This is despite the fact that the noodles are made by a Japanese style factory in Malaysia(read from other sites).

The serving sizes are quite big so you are indeed getting your money's worth. It's about $12 for a ramen and $1/2 if you want to add other toppings. After the ramen that is so satisfying, the gyoza seemed mediocre next to it. As for the place, there was two units for the restaurant. Ice water will be served immediately so there is pretty good service.

The restaurant opens until 2am so you're shopping late in town or clubbing and feeling hungry, here's one place you shouldn't miss!

I found the password!

Yes, I took the effort to go to school and retrieve the password!

Haha.. sorry about the 1 month silence.. blogger changed their login page and i lost the password!

Time for some exciting updates!

We have planned up some pretty interesting events to be held in the new school year, some of which includes our annual camp, Natsu No Hi, a cosplay event and teaching you guys wei qi (Also known as Go!)

Cosplay event sounds interesting right? Yup, you will get to dress up as your favourite anime character and have a picture of you taken my our in house photographer, Edmund! Details to be finalised.

We even contemplated to have a Japanese mahjong workshop, but figured out the proposal would be hard to get through.. haha..

Do write us an email or just type in the tagboard at the side if you have any requests for events! We will surely look into the feasibility of the request.
