Sho Ryu Ramen (Funan)

We settled for this ramen restaurant and tried their signature ramen served with 3 types of pork ($14.90). Meat servings were generous but the noodles seemed a bit thin for what we are used to for ramen.

Had both the garlic and spicy broth. Garlic was light but fragrant, whilst the spicy broth had a slight numbing kick to it, but lacked flavor.

Topped up $4 to make it a set with crispy gyoza and iced lemon tea, both which weren't impressionable.

I had just slurped down the first spoonful when I had exclaimed, "Wow it's so creamy!" I was not expecting such a rich tonkotsu broth from this unassuming joint, which was part of Japan Food Holdings. If you're a fan of strong-flavoured and rich food, this delectable soup will really hit the spot!

The black garlic was strong at first but mellowed out as I dove deeper into the bowl of ramen. Nonetheless, the broth itself actually had a dimension of sweetness to it, although I'm not sure it's from the broth itself or the shabu pork.

Despite not having a choice of how soft you want your noodles, the noodles here were automatically served bouncy and firm. Though they do serve you quite a lot of noodles inside the soup, each strand was finely separated and went perfectly with the creamy, rich soup.

Sho Ryu Ramen specializes in hakata ramen with thick creamy tonkotsu broth and super-thin noodles. https://hungryghost.sg/sho-ryu-ramen-funan-mall/
