Doused in the familiar spicy and sweet sauce, the hole-in-the-wall establishment’s Chilli Crab Ramen ($12.90) was a fun, localised take on the traditional Hakata ramen. Served with roasted nori, a gooey Japanese ajitama egg, and a separate bowl of soup; the Hokkaido soft-shell crab was indeed the highlight for me. Coated in a thin batter, the crisp crustacean was nicely seasoned. The briny tanginess of the crab also soaking in the savoury heat of the chilli crab sauce – packing a good amount of flavour in the bowl.
