Lunch: Menya Shinchan Japanese
Noodle Restaurant
We visited this restaurant on 27th December 2009 because my husband was craving for Shio Ramen. Shio is a kind of salted soup. After Waraku took it off their menu, he had been thinking of it day and night... So, with Mr Onuma's recommendation, we set off for Menya Shinchan!But actually, to tell the truth... We were heading to Ippudo Singapore at Mandarin Gallery. I was reading the reviews in the car(yes, with the help of my 32gb "Ipod"). Majority of the feedbacks were not encouraging. We hesitated and hubby asked me for suggestions(he was driving slower and slower). I suggested Menya Shinchan and with some positive reviews from the net, we headed there immediately!!!(HUNGRY!!)Reached there around 1pm. The restaurant is situated at one corner of Robertson Quay(not facing the river). It is near a Taiwan-Jap cuisine place. The shop itself is not very big and upon arrival, the waitresses greeted us warmly. We were ushered to a table near the cashier counter. The waitress served us warm towels and ice water. Very good service i must say. :)
We anxiously browsed through the menu and ordered our food(HUNGRY!!). Bee ordered the Shio(RICH) ramen and i ordered the Pork bone base with scorched sesame and garlic oil seasoning Ramen.
Order placed. Now waiting anxiously for their Ramen...

After waiting for about 10mins, our noodles arrived. The noodles looks like those we eat at Ajisen. As for taste wise, it taste like "La Mian".
Mine:
Pork bone base with scorched sesame and garlic oil seasoning Ramen.
Out of curiosity, i asked the waitress about the origin of the noodles and i am pleased to know that the noodles are freshly made by the boss. :) How nice!
As the 2 boys shared a bowl of noodles(obviously not enough), they ordered one more bowl of double noodles!

As for me, i ordered another plate of yummy char siew.
$3 for 5 pieces.

I was quite tempted to order the char siew rice($5) but i overheard the kitchen staff telling the waitresses to stop taking orders for rice item. No more rice for the afternoon. :( Guess i'll have to keep that for the next session.
Overall, the food there is not too bad. For people who have not been to Japan but want to have a taste of it, can go down. Prices are reasonable and service is excellent.
