Ramen club: Ramen Zundo

The first rule of Ramen club is: one shall eat ramen and only ramen.



Ramen Zundo in World Square is a small space in one of the side alleyways, the shopfront decorated with lanterns that are often seen in Japan. I had the Mount Chashu ramen - couldn't go past the cheesy name! It comes with a choice of base soups, this was the white (original tonkotsu). Black (with garlic oil), red (with chilli miso), soy and double (half tonkotsu with half chicken soup base) are also available.

The roast pork here is quiveringly divine with long strips of jellied fat that slide down well. The ramen base is thick but not as sticky as Gumshara's, stronger in flavour than the average tonkotsu. Though not quite traditional, I really liked how sprouts and cabbage injected some vegetables into the dish.

I like this one. Round one: success.
