Ramen Play (313@somserset)

3 of us ladies popped by for a quick dinner - my1st visit to the place in fact. Thankfully not too crowded it was an early dinner on a Sat. The place was nonetheless buzzing with mostly younger crowd and families; staff team seemed to be quite busy too.

Lobster Golden Bites Salad ($6.80) - deep fried (i think?) bits of the seafood coated in dressing and perched on top of lettuce pieces amidst some vermicelli. I thought it was quite a refreshing combi with the veg giving a very nice crunch. Taste good too.

Mustard Chicken Salad ($6.80) - I love the sourish dressing for this! The chicken pieces was grilled and honestly just so so, but I was distracted by the accompanying salad more.

Butariki Ishinabe ($12.80) - premium japanese niigata rice accompanied by pan fried and barbeque pork, spring onion, seaweed, and topped with a raw egg. Special sauce drizzled down the sides of the stone bowl - very good - and my spft spot for stone pot doesnt help. The pork was surprisingly tender and marinated well. The ingredients blended very well together and it was quite exciting to wait for the rice to sit and enjoy the slightly charred parts thereafter.

Toroniku Double Soup Ramen ($12.80) - A definite classic brewed to vast perfection. Indulge in this wholesome full bodied soup which is refreshingly tasty; its flavor brought forth by the pork cheek - pork cheek was good and soup was flavourful without the sometimes je lart feeling.

Yuzu Yoghurt ($5.80) - Refreshingly light and easy to take to.

Grapefruit soda ($5.80) - A bit overly tangy for me but no doubt refreshing too.

Prices were reasonable with total adding up to $70 for 3pax. Service could improve though with staff being quite unstable when serving food. The tables also have very tight elbow space - good for eavesdropping on your neighbours.
