Butao Ramen    豚王  

My friend and I have planned to try the ramen here for a long time, but we were put off by the long queues every time. Anyway, we decided to take the plunge and joined the queue on one Friday evening.Yeah, it was packed and we waited for 30 minutes to be seated.We each ordered a bowl of "Pork King" ramen ($75). This was authentic Japanese ramen, pretty similar to my previous experience in Japan. The pork was surprisingly tender and savoury, while the soup base seemed to be free of MSG. My friend also ordered an egg, which looked appetising and I regretted not ordering one myself. However, both of us found that just one bowl was not very filling.

This place is definitely worth a try, but whether it's worth $75 or the 30-minute wait is arguable. I would return again if the waiting time was more reasonable.
