📌 Multiple Outlets
Takagi Ramen is a Japanese restaurant with multiple outlets islandwide. I paid a visit to the Chong Pang outlet, which is open 24h, and I got to enjoy some of their dishes. Prices aren't included in this review as the prices vary among different outlets, but I was really surprised at how affordable the dishes were. At the Chong Pang outlet, you can get a donburi for $3.90 and a bowl of ramen from $6.90!
🍜 Butashoga Ramen (8.6/10)
This ramen comes with tonkotsu broth and sweet ginger-braised pulled pork. The broth is really milky, light and quite refreshing. It's not overly salty and is really tasty. The pork is also really tender and flavourful.
🌶 Karaka-men (8.4/10)
This dish does not hold back on the spice. The spicy tonkotsu broth has a noticeable kick to it, and was really enjoyable as a spice lover. I think the chashu pieces were a tad dry but the portions were good.
🥟 Gyoza (8.2/10)
Filled with chicken and vegetables and served with mayo on the side, I really enjoyed these gyozas! They were crispy and not too oily, and were flavourful yet not too salty.
🥡 Takoyaki (8/10)
The takoyaki has a soft and moist centre, which is better than most commercial takoyakis that have a less gooey consistency. The octopus pieces are a bit on the small side such that I couldn't taste them at first, but as a whole, these takoyakis are pretty good for the price!
🥤Taro Kokonattsu Calfizzy & Blue Lychee Calfizzy ($7.90)
Super pretty drinks, we got them in taro and lychee. The taro one tasted more like grape with a very faint hint of actual taro, while the lychee one was stronger in taste. Both were really refreshing and suitable for sweet soda lovers. Plus they come with haw flakes and firm, chewy sakura pearls, which were a delight to suck.
