So we decided to try Butao one more time as our taste buds were probably blurred by the glasses of white wine we drank while waiting in line for our Butao Ramen..
2nd time experience *
QUEUE - we arrived before 6pm and there was already a long line in front of us. While queuing up I was extremely disturbed by the smell of the street.. which smelt like RUBBISH (literally). This made queuing up extremely unpleasant and people should be prepared to enter stink-ville for a good 30 mins - 1hr for their now super famous butao ramen.
RAMEN - Genki King was sadly not available so we ordered the usual pork bone soup ramen. Was glad to find that it was still very delicious.
SADLY .. as quite a few readers have commented, Butao ramen is filled with a good amount of MSG ... something I realised after not being able to sleep the night after i wrote my first review on Butao ..
Would recommend people to tick the less strong "special miso base" on the ingredients check list... and maybe wash down your ramen with some COKE - really helps me feel better after an MSG overdose.
Am not sure when I'll get to try Butao again now that they CLOSE after selling 200 bowls of ramen..
What's this?
