Nantsuttei @ Parco Marina Bay

I really wanted to go to Keisuke Tokyo to eat the ramen and me being the idiot that I am, thought this was that restaurant because it was nearest to the escalator and it had a long line. I didn't really figure out that I made the mistake until I saw Man-goh's facebook entry saying " food-critic is an idiot," at least that's what I thought I saw.

Back to the review:

Located on the wonderful 3rd level of the new Parco Marina Bay, Nantsuttei " offers tonkotsu soup (pork-based creamy-typed soup) ramen, which is derived from Kyushu area (west part of Japan). Their special and unique ingredient is “Ma oil”, which is a blend of seven types of deep-fried garlic with sesame oil. The harmony of tonkotsu soup and “Ma oil” is Nantsuttei’s most distinctive feature. Their noodle is mid-size in thickness and springy in texture, well-suited to the mix of tonkotsu soup and “Ma oil”.

So what did I think about the restaurant? Jelly thinks that the Japanese men there are really good looking and the couple next to us ordered just 1 bowl of noodles to try (how rude!)

The food? I walk into every restaurant wanting to like it, but for some reason, I didn't really think this Ramen was any different from the rest that I have tried. Or what Simon Cowell sometime says to the American Idol contestants, there isn't enough personality to make people want to remember you.

So there, I said it. I said personality. Funny thing is that I actually would go back there and eat the Ramen again.
