Family lunch at Ippudo Ramen at UE Square

Went for family lunch last Saturday at Ippudo at UE Square.
The tapas is like fusion food

More about how Ippudo started and about their noodles and soup






They were having a promotion on the tempura ebi! $10 for 5 tempura ebi prawns. The batter was done just right, and the dipping sauce was tasty

Classic Shiromaru Ramen that mum ordered


My and dad's Akamaru Ramen

Bro's Spicy special ramen.
Generous serving of pork on the side

Scallop starter


Sesame ice cream

Matcha ice cream wrapped in mochi
 
The noodles were okay, they didn't have the bouncy texture I was looking for that you get in usual ramen shops in Japan, and I still think Keisuke Ramen at Millenia Walk(which is now relocating) has the best ramen.
Broth was okay, relatively thick and tasty and rich.
Pork was cooked very nicely-tender and not dry.
The egg was acceptable but again not at its best.
 
Ordering the mochi thing was a bad idea, it tasted nothing like mochi. the description said soft and chewy but it was more like dry and hard and only a little chewy. Matcha and sesame ice cream tasted as usual..
 
I still prefer Keisuke over Ippudo. Keisuke totally beats Santouka and alot of the ramen places in Sg, it's the closest to those yummy ones in Japan!
