a salty affair at Miharu

A very salty affair to be exact. The ramen at Miharu (located at the Gallery Hotel at 76, Robertson Quay) is well-known for its springy-ness, its bite and its stock. D and I are fans of ramen, so we decided to go check this reputed ramen shop out.

We were there sometime ago, on a Friday night. It was packed with your typical after work yuppie crowd. We had to sit outside at the bar counter. No complaints. We were there for the ramen. The noodles don't come cheap at S$13 and above for a bowl, guess it's not your regular cup-a-noodle. The eagerly awaited noodles arrived to great disappointment. Salty stock and smelly bamboo shoots. Totally cooked boiled eggs (I like my yolks still slightly soft in the centre) and tough pork slices. To give them some credit, the noodles are rather springy, but a real shame that that is not enough to save that bowl of highly anticipated ramen. I really wanted to enjoy that bowl of ramen. It is a quaint little shop, great location, focused on one signature dish, efficient service. A real pity. A real pity indeed.
