Afuri Ramen (Level B1-29) Undoubtedly riding on its reputation in Japan, there were already about 30 persons ahead of us in the queue, even though we came on a weekday evening.
With a distinctly citrusy dipping broth, the taste of the Yuzu Tsukemen was quite unique. The texture of the springy noodles was great too. However, I felt that the cold noodles didn’t offer the same satisfaction that a warm broth of ramen could. There’s just something about a piping warm bowl of ramen noodles.
The Yuzu Shio Ramen suited my tastebuds better. The warm ramen soup had a similar citrusy flavour, but was more subtle in its yuzu flavour, allowing the yuzu flavour to complement the taste of the soup rather than overpower the dish.
The meat (pork cubes for the tsukemen and charsiu for the ramen) and egg for both the tsukemen and hot ramen felt quite ordinary to me, and were not the highlight of the dishes.
I did like the Buta Winged Gyoza, although B felt that the gyoza skin was not crispy enough.
Yuzu Tsukemen - $15.90
Yuzu Shio Ramen - $15.90
Buta Wings Gyoza - $6.90
