Nissin Instant Soba

This is one of the great tasting instant soba I had in Japan, and am missing it so much that I am willing to pay much more to eat it again in Singapore. It comes in 2 sizes. I bought the bigger one because the price difference is less than a dollar. It cost about $4.30 in Meidi-ya (Liang Court).

Packaging

First open

What's in

Ready to eat

Instructions on how to prepare the soba to achieve the ultimate taste:

Add the packet of powder into the noodles.
Add hot water, cover the noodles and let it sit for a few minutes.
When the noodles are soft and ready to be eaten, put in the crispy piece. It dissolves and turn soft quite quickly, so add in bit by bit if you do not like it to be too soft.

The crispy piece does add color to the bowl of soba. The soup base is not too strong, just nice for a pleasant taste. [8/10]

Yoshimaru, managed by Jumbo Seafood, recently opened its doors in Holland Village. Missing all the ramen I had in Japan, I needed to give this a try. To my surprise, among all the ramen that I’ve tasted in S’pore, Yoshimaru Ramen Bar is one of the few that serves authentic Japanese ramen! I was so glad and went back again within a month.

The Menu

Roasted Garlic Ramen

I love their Roasted Garlic Ramen ($13+++). [8.5/10] The soup was rich yet not too oily, makes me crave for more after the meal. The Tonkotsu TanTan Mian’s ($12+++) soup base has a little peanut taste which I don’t prefer. [7/10]

The Jumbo Seafood member card gives 10% off which is to my advantage as I am a fan of Jumbo Seafood. I will be back to try their Traditional Hakata Ramen!
