This meal was eaten weeks ago. Washiyama said Marutama Ramen is one of his favourite shop in Singapore. Located in The Central, Marutama’s specialty is of course, Ramen!
There was a queue when we arrived even though it was after the peak lunch hours. We pre-ordered our meal while in line. The boys took the “everything” bowl and so I must have that, too. I’ve always prided myself in having appetite as huge as or even bigger than some guys
We forego the side dishes and order iced O-cha for drinks. After 10 minutes’ wait, we were led into the very dim restaurant. First thought that came to my mind, bad lighting for photos, lol… We were seated at the bar and the ceiling spotlights were harsh. Yes, you’re probably right! I’m making excuses for my poor photos, they looked better after adjusting the white balance.
The big bowl – Marutama’s Zenbu Ra-men.

All 3 of us had the Spicy Chicken stock.
The dish came with a whole half-boiled egg, pork belly, 3 slices of Japanese non-yaki charsiu, spring onions and seaweed.
Aosa Seaweed dissolved easily in the hot broth and that gave it extra sea taste and unique “heaviness” (surpassing body).
Topped as much crispy fried garlic slices (on table with spices) as you want but be forewarned, your spouse may not kiss you
Japanese Hot Spring Egg
味付け玉子 or Ajitsuke Tamago, also known as Onsen Tamago (Japanese Hot Spring Egg), a popular ramen garnish, is actually medium or half-boiled egg (with runny inside) marinated in sweet and savoury soy-based sauce.
Mine was a creamy soft on the inside, which I preferred actually (after all I’m not eating soft-boiled eggs) and Washiyama’s was too watery, seeping out as soon as he broke the white.
