Wanted something more than the standard pork broth-2pcs homemade Cha Shu-ramen egg-thin ramen so I ordered the kuro version. Before the order arrived I was secretly hoping they wouldn’t scrimp on the Black garlic oil but when it arrived I realised they over-exceeded my expectations and the noodles and soup was too greasy for one to take giant slurps of soup off the bowl.

The garlic was pretty potent- overpowering the rest of the dish and I’m guessing it was the addition of the fine yellow paste (seen in pic beside egg) that resembles the 蒜泥 from lor mee. Then again, my senses was too blunted to tell.

I really liked the tangy mustard green side though. It allowed me to consume more of the main and reminds me alittle of another Ramen store Men-ichi nearby a few years back which also served Takana (高菜) pickles drenched in sesame oil and sesame seeds and also had additionally, another deep-fried crunchy garlic topping that was free-flow.

Total bill:
$16.20 + service charge and tax = $19.25
