Torimaru @ Ramen Champion, Singapore
Friday, June 17, 2016
Ramen Champion
has found a new occupant, Torimaru, helmed by Chef Takano Koji who underwent
intensive trainings under Chef Koji Tashiro, founder of Menya Koji Group in
Japan.
Torimaru specialises
in Tori Paitan (creamy chicken soup) ramen that is packed with collagen. The
rich and creamy chicken soup that took Japan by storm, is attained by robust
boiling of five different parts of a chicken (including large amounts of
chicken feet) and five types of vegetables over high temperatures for 10 hours.
The ramen comes in four variations, Original Paitan, Shoyu Paitan, Spicy Paitan, and Paitan Tsukemen (dipping noodles). Feel free to customise your noodles, on how you like them to be - al dente (firm) or soft, it can be done upon ordering.
The Special
Chicken Ramen (Original Paitan) | $16.0 comes in thin yellow noodles in creamy rich
chicken soup. Accompanied with tender chicken breast chashu and homemade
chicken meat balls. It also includes ajitama (seasoned soft-boiled egg), negi (Japanese
leek), onions, and nori (dried seaweed).
The soup is
light on the palate (as compared to Menya Takeichi at Eat At Seven), which I wasn’t expecting the rich and creamy chicken soup
to be. The overall texture complements each other particularly that chicken breast
is used for the reason that it’s of low fat content, and homemade chicken meat
balls are made from ginger and chicken soft bones to achieve different textures.
As a fan of tsukemen, I’m really looking
forward to Torimaru’s rendition, Special Chicken Tsukemen | $16.8. It comprises
of thick white noodles, tender chicken breast chashu, homemade chicken meat
balls, spinach, nori (dried seaweed), and a hot bowl of creamy chicken soup
with garlic.
It was a let-down that the soup wasn’t as hot compared
to other tsukemen I’ve eaten and they have missed out my seaweed too. I would preferred if they could go easy on the
saltiness in chicken soup with garlic. Although hot soup was provided, (placed at the corner of the stall) but adding it kinds of
dilute the former. Sad to say, I wasn’t impressed with their tsukemen and I
would suggest going for the soup ones instead.
If you like how
soft and tender the chicken breasts and meat balls are, you might like their sides such as Chicken
Salad | $8.8 which includes chicken breast chashu and homemade chicken meat
balls in sesame dressing, accompanied with garden greens and cherry tomatoes, Or Chicken Nanban | $8.0 consisting of fried chicken with homemade tartar dressing and
garden greens at the side.
