Aoba Hokkaido Ramen~

Omg the pics are blurred(Cos I was shaking too much? I blame my lousy phone camera LOL!!!). Ytd went to try the new ramen restaurant at Orchard Ion, Aoba Hokkaido Ramen. Apparently it's the same string of japanese brands from Japanese Foods Holdings(the one who brought the foods like Ajisen, Ajitei, Botejyu and other japanese restaurant into Singapore). My friend and I were skeptical when we know about that, but went to try anyway! So here's our comments on the food there.
Chicken and Potato Croquette. Yes it's not only potato ingredients inside but chicken too. 5.90 for 3 croquettes is abit on the expensive side, but hella both of us agreed it taste nice, with the tomato sauce or not. Just... too expensive for 3 pieces.
Prawn Mayonnaise. It's supposed to be one of their "hotselling" side foods. My comment: Ajisen's taste much better, and has much bigger prawns. My friend's comment: Not too bad, but I won't order it again. So you can probably guess how average the prawn mayonnaise is. Cost around 8 bucks I think.
My Shio Scallop Ramen. Looking at the picture you should notice that... the portion of the ramen is actually quite small!!! My verdict: AWESOMELY Delicious!!! The soup base is pork bone soup which definitely taste much stronger and taste much nicer then the average miso/chicken broth soup!!! The scallops are smaller than those of Ajisen and the quantity of the scallop isn't alot either, which sucks. The eggs are very nice though!!! Those kind of outside hot but the egg yolk is kinda cold of eggs. The noodles are definitely not handmade but it has a very nice ramen chewing feel to it so it doesn't matter!!! Overall: DELICIOUS but the portion is definitely small.

And for my friend's Spicy Ramen, which has a vegatable-based soup,my friend commented that the soup is also very nice, everything is good, but as usual the ingredients and the portion is too little with such a steep price (12.90 for one bowl of ramen).

Overall: Better than Ajisen I think(cause of the splendid soup base anyway ^^), the portion of the food is too little and the price abit steep. Besides there are many soup base depending on what ramen you ordered(Chicken, Vege, Pork, Miso). Total cost was about 23 bucks per person with GST + Service Tax. However, i still think it's worth it. CAUSE OF THE SOUP BASE. LOL!
