About a week ago, the bunny and I decided to head over to Gallery Hotel to check out Sapporo Ramen Miharu - Japanese authentic noodles.
According to CNA, Miharu uses fresh Sapporo Nishiyama noodles imported from Hokkaido - a welcome change from the only “ramen” most Singaporeans are acquainted with, i.e. Ajisen. The soup base is made from pig and chicken bones, some vegetables and brewed for hours on end to imbue the soup with the delicious flavour.
While the first spoonful of soup startled me a little with the saltiness, that flavour definitely wasn’t borne of MSG-happy chefs. Unlike other “Japanese” soups which tend to leave my mouth dry and have me crawling towards glass after glass of water, the Tonkusen Ton-Shio broth only had me craving for another bowl and immediately setting aside a date for my next visit here - that’s how good it was.
Definitely head down to Gallery Hotel and check it out. They don’t accept reservations, so just head over, write your name on the book outside the front door, and wait for them to summon you over.

how much is a bowl of ramen there?

I can’t remember actually. Not obscenely expensive, I think about S$12? Huge portions - I couldn’t finish my noodles (and you know I like to eat). :p
Let me know how you find it if you manage to go?

A lot of stock when we went leh. Maybe they don’t like you. :D
