I wasn’t living in HK for the past year which means I’ve missed out on the crazy ramen fad that was going on. That is fine with me since the line-ups aren’t that long anymore at the popular places I was in TST the other day so I suggested dinner at Ippudo which is one of the more popular choices. To my surprise there wasn’t a long line up in front of the store. Also they have a really cool ticketing machine in front of the store which allows you to input your cell number when you collect your ti
I was in TST the other day so I suggested dinner at Ippudo which is one of the more popular choices. To my surprise there wasn’t a long line up in front of the store. Also they have a really cool ticketing machine in front of the store which allows you to input your cell number when you collect your ticket so that they can call you when your table’s almost ready. Technology wins! It took us only around 10 minutes to get a table.
The menu was pretty extensive for a ramen place – almost like an izakaya. I stuck with ramen though and ordered the Ippudo Karaka (一風堂辣肉味噌), $78. It came really quickly, like 5 minutes after we placed our order. Talk about efficiency!
Ippudo Karaka – “With silky Tonkontsu soup, spicy miso adds kick to the senses”-I was a bit disappointed to find that the ramen doesn’t come with any sides by default, except for the big spoonful of green onion
-The chashu was alright, with the right amount of fat.
-This is a matter of personal preference but I thought the noodles were overcooked.
-The soup was spicy enough, but without that subtle sweetness that I was hoping for.
I also ordered a side of Soy Sauce Soft Boiled Egg, which costed another $12!!!!!
Luckily though the egg was really good and not as disappointing as the ramen It was flavourful and the yolk was delicious, albeit a teensy bit too runny.We also ordered a side of salmon carpaccio with shimeiji mushrooms, $88
-The salmon was really thick which is nice considering that we’re eating Japanese food.-I didn’t like the sauce – it tasted really tomato-y and even a bit cheesy? Tasted a bit off.
-The shimeiji was alright, although I don’t really see how it adds to the dish
Total was $320 for two of us. Way too expensive considering the quality..
