Tampopo Menu

Tampopo's menu had us spoilt for choice!



This time, we throng Liang Court for the acclaimed Tampopo Ramen. They're famous for their black pig soup base and black pig cutlet sets:



Original Black Pig Bone Soup Base

The Original Soup Base made from Black Pig's Bones is a little to the salty side, but tastes great when you add chilli powder to it! *slurp*



And there's something special about the hard boiled eggs that come with the ramen:



Egg Yolk

The yolk centres are not completely cooked, giving them a very nice texture when you pop the egg into your mouth! =)




Black Pig Spicy Ramen

The Spicy Black Pig Ramen adds chilli flakes to the already outstanding soup base and turns the Tampopo Ramen experience up a notch! Hawwt!



And not forgetting the Black Pig Cutlet set:



Black Pig Katsu Set

This one is for rice lovers. ^^



Overall, the ramen is comparable with that from Marutama, springy and smooth. However, the signature soup base for the Tampopo ramen is slightly more salty. The black pig pork slices of Tampopo ramen is super sinful with generous amounts of chewy fats, and in my opinion is the main selling point of the ramen, with the unique, hard on the outside, soft on the inside boiled eggs as a welcoming addition.
