Keisuke Tokyo @ Millenia Walk

After an old friend mentioned that his absolute fav ramen in town is the kani ramen. I went in search of the legendary challenger that is supposed to beat my favourite Nansuttei . They just happened to be next-door competitors.....

Ok the throwndown:

1) Broth - the Kani broth is really good, I must say...not too oily and really savoury.

2) Noodles - the thick flat noodles they use...hmmmm is their weak link. The think noodles probably works very well in winter tokyo...but in the heat of SG, most people would rather match the rather heavy tasting soup with a lighter and more QQ noodles. Unlike Nansuttei's version ( which seems to me still an amazing combo) , it feels a tad heavy towards the end. No lingering aftertaste or aftertexture to be exact.

3) Others - they do decent gyoza too......love their egg, and the extra beansprout.

Conclusion : go to Nansuttei first, if the queue is too long, head towards here. There are many varieties of ramen ( Shio, Shoyu , Tonkotsu..) so I would like to try one of the other variations and update more.

It is supposed to be a famous shop from Tokyo, so you can see the reference photos they post of their main Tokyo outlets.

Love the touch of garlic & season beansprout.

The thick flat noodles I was talking about, and the thick rich broth.

Pity they don't have one where the noodles are either thinner or more springy

Nicely pan-fried gyoza
