[ROCHOR, SINGAPORE] A humble ramen restaurant has recently opened in the heart of Sim Lim Square, where many have come to this mall for simple hearty meals. @menya_saku.sg is equally as hearty but it is one heavy flavour packed meal.

One look at the 2 ramen renditions we ordered here and you know the soup is going to be thick. In fact, it was so thick I wouldn't call it soup but rather broth. The Special Miso Tonkotsu Ramen 🍜 ($15) had an incredible depth of flavour, which isn't one dimensional at all. The umami flavour is off the charts and really not for the faint hearted. There is a spicy kick towards the end, making me think they probably use spicy miso. The broth of the Special Black Garlic Tonkotsu Ramen 🍜 ($14) was equally as flavourful, with the garlic and meaty flavours working well together.

For the toppings, both charred char siu and chicken were given. While they were not the most tender, it was really fragrant due to its marination and smoky flavours. The marinated egg was perfectly done. Noodles were standard and al dente.

As much as I enjoyed the entire bowl (almost drank up all the soup), the oil and sodium levels are quite high, so if you like hyper flavoured ramen renditions like Yokohama style or Jiro style then this will be for you!
