Tampopo @ Takashimaya

This was one of the pioneer ramen restaurants in Singapore. I tried it for the first time at the branch at Takashimaya basement. Never went to the main one at Liang Court before. Compared to Ippudo and Nantsuttei, the queue at Tampopo was short. I like Tampopo due to the fact that when you cut open the egg, the egg yolk melted out. Tasted really nice with the yummy soup base. Btw, the menu mentioned that they are using black pig. But isn't all japanese ramen restaurants use black pig?

Racheal tried the butter flavoured ramen. I don't really like it coz of the strong butter taste. Everything was so buttery after the butter melted into the soup. Tasted so weird.

We ordered the Unagi Rice Roll and Pork Cutlet (black pig) as side dishes. The Unagi Rice Roll was a disappointment. Totally not nice. It was very bland with not much filling inside. If you just like to eat rice, then maybe you will like this rice roll. As for the pork cutlet, it was nothing special. But if you want to add variety to your noodles, i think it will be a good choice to order that.
