My second experience at Ha-Oh Hototogisu Ramen really proves the point that the company a person is with and the mood really affects the dining experience. The first time, I had the Crab Ramen and found it nice and unique, and that was it. Though this uniqueness of crab broth stays in my mind. So when I'm at Paragon, I decide to try the ramen here again, and this time, by myself and savour the ramen of my choice, which is King Crab Ramen with Iberico Cha Shu. And yes, the ramen is so good and I can say the crab broth here is definitely one of my favourite ramen broths.
The broth is unique in that it is umami rich yet light on feel, with an extra briny sweetness. It is exactly how I like it. The noodles are thinner than the usual ramen and very smooth in texture, I love it. The Cha Shu is full of meaty goodness. And the Iberico Cha Shu is especially smooth in texture. Ajitsuke Tamago, which is Marinated Soft Boiled Egg, sweetens the deal even more.
Smooth, creamy and rich Homemade Creme Caramel is simple yet so good and satisfying.
