[CLOSED] Jimoto Ya

Pricey but yummy and not greasy at all. Give it a shot! $18++

Filling me up nicely, Jimoto-ya's Ladies Set does just the job for those who enjoys a full meal without overeating (in my opinion) as food coma after lunch seems inevitable for me. Priced at $18++, the set serves a choice of 2 side dishes with a petit ramen and dessert.

For a more robust-tasting broth, their Miso Ramen is ideal for those seeking a stronger profile yet not overwhelmingly so. Ticking all the right boxes for me, the umami base had a great blend of flavours and just the right amount of saltiness. The springy noodles were also well-executed with a nice satisfying bite! All this topped with crunchy sliced cabbage, half an ajitama egg and meatballs.

For something lighter, dip your spoon into the Shio Ramen's broth. Clear and fresh, the base was very "drinkable" and tasted more familiar-somewhat like a mild as well as delicate prawn noodle soup. The aromatic mix also bringing together the individual sweetness of the pork and prawns used.

Though the portion seems measly, the lunch set was really substantial and more so with the sides. A must-try is their crispy and evenly breaded tori kara-age as the meat inside was surprisingly succulent and juicy!

The chef recommended us to try the broth before adding in the Yamazaki shot. Surprisingly, the whisky cuts the oiliness of the broth and adds a hint of smokiness. It was rich yet not “jelak”. The shot of whisky added a whole new flavour profile and a unique touch to the ramen. Additionally, in place of the usual Chashu slices, the ramen is topped with generous chunks of minced chicken and pork. Along with the Whisky Ramen, they have launched a new side item – Whisky Tiger Prawn Gyozas. Succulent tiger prawns are wrapped in gyoza skin, pan-fried to golden brown, and glazed with their signature ebi oil-infused Yamazaki.
