Fancy a bowl of Sapporo Ramen? Ramen fans now have yet another place to get their ramen fix at the convenience of Orchard Road. Located on the second floor of Somerset Triple One, Sapporo Ramen Sanomaru is one of the latest additions to the ramen scene in Singapore.
Its menu features the four mainstream ramen soup bases alongside some evergreen side dishes like gyoza. Simple izakaya fares like skews are available during dinner time.
Just want to get a taste of their ramen, I ordered a Special Miso Ramen ($15.90).
Typical of Sapporo ramen, it came with corn kernels and butter which added a sweet note to the broth. Though the noodles were not springy as I had expected, the robust borth made up for it. The chashu that I had was remarkably melt-in-mouth tender. There were other toppings like menma (bamboo shoots) and nori (seaweeds).
Whenever I visit ramen places, gyoza is almost the next must-try after the noodles. The Original Gyoza ($6.80) was a tad dispointment as the skin was too thick and filling too tiny. The sauce for the gyoza was a ingenious mix of shoyuu and vinegar, somewhat helped to enhance a full spectrum of flavours of the otherwise boring dumplings. 9 out of 10 for the sauce and 4 for the thick-skined gyoza.
If you are here for lunch, you may find their 3-course set lunch menu more worth your bucks. Available at $14.80++, it comes with a salad, mini don and medium size ramen.
Both of us liked this salad. The runny egg yolk on the cabbage had undoubted given a new life to this seemingly ordinary appetizer.
A smaller version of the basic miso ramen. The proportion was just right that you could still get to enjoy your don after slurping up all your soup and noodles.
With this mini don made the last course. You have choice of mini curry don, katsu don and oyako don.
The serivce staff were warm and friendly that even the chef himself came to serve us personally, a clear sign of a chef taking pride of his work. Well, I shall give a second visit for the kushi during dinner time.
