Happy birthday Mr K! Thanks for suggesting to have your celebration at a Japanese restaurant after knowing that I am still suffering from post Japan trip syndrome. Hehe! Decided on trying out the Tampopo Japanese restaurant after reading much about their special air flown 'black pork' cutlets & char siew ramen. These pigs are apparently stress free while being nurtured purely for better meat quality & taste.
Char Siew Ramen Deluxe. An extra large serving of ramen with equally generous servings of ingredients. The soup base was decent with a strong miso flavor. The char siew slices were soft and easy to bite into. Overall a satisfying dish but still taste different from those in Japan. Can't explain why. Hmm...
Pork (Kurobuta) cutlet spicy ramen. A recommended dish from the restaurant. The black pork cutlet was nicely deep fried without retaining the oil which the outer layer of bread crumbs kept it's crispiness throughout my meal. Meat was tender, juicy & flavorful. The broth was spicy but somehow lacked any other flavor other than that.
Our side dish of pan fried Gyoza. A little disappointing with the presentation, wet soggy skin and bland filling. :(
Japanese style soft boiled eggs with our ramen dishes.
