Food Critique Pt. I

I've been thinking of posting this kind of post since long time ago, but i had no chance to do it (partially because im lazy HAHAH!)
so here we go...
a food journey or shall i say food critique?
well basically what i do in this kind of post is talking (hopefully not about "rubbish") about foods, places to eat, or anything about foods ☺

first post I dedicate to Tampopo, the japanese resto.
Stanley(fyi he's my friend who's currently staying in USA) introduced me to this *heart* place..
he said that since i love ramen so much, i'd love this place AND I DO! (i thank stan for this hehe)

tampopo becomes my fave jap resto among all (not to mention sushi tei because so far they have the most variety sushi selection), because the ramen is so damn good that you will love it right when you try it! (those who don't like ramen then don't dare to come just to mock and say silly thing)

so, i am the regular costumer in tampopo.
tampopo is located at liang court


i always go there everytime i crave for ramen.
my fave is KYUSHU RAMEN SHOYU but it depends on your taste bud, some say my fave is quite salty compared to the original kyushu ramen..

this KYUSHU RAMEN SHOYU is a pork based soup, added with shoyu (soy sauce), the soup is so thick that you can taste the pork and so rich of flavour, but yet it wont make you sick of drinking it! it doesnt oily or greasy nor too "heavy" for your tummy.
then their ramen (noodle) is superb! the noodle wont get soggy no matter how long you take to eat the (quite big bowl they serve) ramen.
when you munch on the noodle, the texture tastes so perfect in your mouth (indomie jadi sujud2 ma mienya tampopo deee ;P)
then they serve the noodle with boiled egg (don't be mistaken by its simplicity! this boiled egg is another superb item!) once you bite or cut it into half, the warm, smooth, and silky egg yolk will flow nicely in your mouth.. YUM!
then another items are grilled pork, mushroom, and ... this reddish orangy thingy(i forgot what this is called, will update it next time ☺)

everything goes well together when you eat it. YUM YUM

then today i had chance to try new tampopo resto at takashimaya, orchard
IT SUCKS! (ups..)
the ramen was so dissapointing that it tasted so (TOTALLY!) different from the one at liang court.
the soup was so thin that you can barely taste anything but watery salty soup, the noodle was so thin also that you couldnt feel the texture and it didnt absorb the broth (compared to liang court tampopo's)
then the pork was quite tough to bite and the egg was not as good as the usual.
the mushroom was not well done, it was still a bit hard when i bite it
I DONT RECOMMEND THIS TAMPOPO OUTLET!
just go to liang court and have the best ramen there!
