Limited to 30 bowls a day, this collaboration with No Signboard was only available at its Mandarin Gallery and MBS outlets.
It was quite mixed feelings about this national dish creation. While we agreed that it was a soup-based ramen after all, we still kinda missed the thick eggy gravy of the original dish that would deliver more punch. Having this broth was like that of a chilli crab XLB we had somewhere. Though watery, the flavour was pretty on-point.
The piece of crab claw was an apt choice, while the 2 fried buns didn’t really find their place in the watery broth.
Overall, the creation was still worth the try at this time of the year when many chilli crab inspired dishes would be popping up around SG.
