marutama ramen @ empire

i was previously on a burger craze, then came the chocolate craze, and then the popiah craze and my latest is the ramen craze. 

often people compare ippudo ramen and marutama, their both good, in different ways i guess. 

i ordered the bowl of chicken soup, with chicken meatball, and 7 groundnuts, spring onions, and mildly spicy. the soup was good, the noodles was good, but i personally liked ippudo more. i couldn't pin point on anything that was bad i guess ipudo had lots of chilli oil, making the soup very fragrant and the noodles texture was more to my liking. i absolutely loved the hard noodles texture.the chicken meatballs were super fatty. you could bite into pieces of hard fat. i guess i didn't like that. i prefer the fat blended well with the meat.  

but one thing i really liked is the abundance of spring onions and the fried garlic that you could add into the soup. the egg was also a plus point because it was really well-seasoned. 

all in all, although i prefer ippudo's noodles, i think that the soup in both places are different. they are both good in different ways although i prefer ippudo's kick. 

my food buddies that day, vivian and kc obviously enjoyed their meal. they even ordered additional noodles. but then again, it might be because they were just hungry. 

can't wait for my next ramen adventure.
