Ikkousha Hakata Ramen Singapore

I visited this Ramen shop during lunch time when i was in Tanjong Pagar. Reviews that i read was that Hakata Ikkousha Ramen offers to their customers authentic Tonkotsu ramen which originate  from the Hakata province in Japan.

There are 6 different type of flavoured ramen available to choose from. Tonkotsu Ramen, God Fire, Red Tonkotsu, Black Tonkotsu, Shio Tonkotsu and Miso Tonkotsu. 

Free flow egg if you visit during lunch time, plus you get to enjoy free tea too

I had the Tonkotsu Ramen with extra noodle!! The soup is specially good, rich and flavourable. It was made from pork bones and had simmered for many hours before using for the ramen. However, it come to the point after eating quite awhile that i feel sick of it. Mainly because the soup is too rich and thick and abit salty. 

You can also choose how well done the noodle you will like. Texture from hard or normal to soft. The pork meat slices was tender and delicious. I should have added extra topping for this. Regret!

Ta da, added 2 eggs in to enjoy my lunch!! Yum Yum

Verdict 3.5/5

Fast and good service, food is good but abit steep.

Will consider to drop by if i have extra cash to spare, but then there are lots of food in Tanjong Pagar too!

Two Blur Guys - Tanjong Pagar

 The CBD and Tanjong Pagar district offers a wide range of food which attracts both the weekday and weekend crowds. One of them is the Two Blur Guys which is located at a walking distance from Tanjong Pagar Mrt. It is a burger joint which is popular among the young office crowds as they offer a fuse free meal with coffee or beer, good for both quick lunch and dinner chill.

Pulled Pork Burger ($13.85) - shredded slow cooked pork sandwiched in between lightly buttered and toasted wholemeal soft bun, together with melted cheese and tomato. All the ingredients fused together perfectly with every bite. Meat was moist and tender, not too salty or dry. Serving portion of burger was decent enough for a normal meal, but not for a hungry stomach. For the price paid for, serving quality and quantity certainly worth it.

Pulled Chicken Burger ($12.85) - Same appearance as the pulled pork. Taste was quite similar as well except that texture of shredded chicken was dryer as compare to the earlier one. Not too bad though.

Each set comes with a serving of large chunk potato salad and fresh vegetables

.

Small capacity of interior seats. Consider outdoor seats if you do not want to infuse your hair with smell due to its open concept kitchen.

Alfresco seats

Variety of burgers on the menu. Most of it looks appealing to me. 

Drinks and dessert menu

Verdict: 4/5

This burger joint definitely stands out from the others for its satisfying and well priced burger set. Service was very good and prompt, and staff was attentive as well.

There are other burgers on the menu that are worth trying, I will certainly visit this place again to try them out.

The Bara Chirashi Buffer Set ($29.90) entitle you the whole buffet side dishes. I would recommend Set B if you are a big eater.

Side dishes Buffet area 

Cook your own noodle. The broth is thick and savory.

Fried prawn, fried saba, croquette and fried chicken chunks (left to right) 

Fried salmon belly!!! The meat is thick and juicy, of cos the fats play a part in it!

Mini Buffet set consist of fried salmon pieces, salad, braised salmon, edamame etc etc

Miso soup at your own helping

Highlight of the day: Chirashi Don. Loads of fish given on a bowl of rice. The fish consist of salmon, tuna, clam and roe. All the ingredients are marinated and taste savory and fresh. Mix abit of wasabi  to further enhance the taste.  

You would be having warm rice with cold sashimi, such a wonderful combination.

Verdict: 4 /5

The prices is very affordable consider that it comes with the buffet and chirashi don. The food fare pretty good and i have no complaint on the chirashi don. However due to its small capacity, it is unable to cater for too many customers.
