Always seeing Chilli crab pastas but Chilli crab RAMEN?!! An exclusive exclusive flavour which @takagiramen had launched in conjunction with this year’s National Day, available till End September! 🦀 With the option of having it in a soup or dry version, I opted for the latter, which seems to be a safer choice imo 🙈. Served with a whole softshell crab and ahjitama, the traditional Hakkata noodles is doused with a tangy, spicy chilli crab sauce. The spiciness is distinct albeit not too overwhelming, pretty similar to a Chilli crab pasta with just a change of noodles. As a fan of a chilli crab, I still enjoyed the flavourful and tangy sauce when paired with the thin, springy noodles but my heart still leaned towards the salted egg dry ramen instead (review in another post)! Along with a bowl of rich and creamy tonkotsu soup served at the side, the softshell crab unfortunately failed to impress, with it being served lukewarm. The batter, though crisp, felt as though it had been prepared beforehand and left there for some time prior to serving. The freshness of the iconic seafood-sque flavour was lacking greatly in the interior as well. Thank goodness the ramen eggs came with a soft, molten yolks that was a saving grace to the underwhelming softshell crab 😅.
