The Battle Continues : Ramen Champion at Bugis+

-
I've been bitten by the ramen bug! 

 It has been months and every now and then I'd continue to crave of a bowl of piping hot, al dente ramen noodles! Guess this ramen craze of mine will go on for a little while longer... after all, Singapore is literally bursting is a lot of good ramen shops and it's just so hard to say no to all of them. As they say... if you can't beat them, join them! So, here I am spreading the ramen love to one and all. ♥

When our friends J and A came to visit us a month ago, Paul and I excitedly met up with them at Ramen Champion in Bugis+ Mall. It's just perfect that J and A are such fun foodies to be with so we happily tried a couple of bowls of ramen that evening until we finally declared the winner.

Ramen Champion is a cool restaurant concept wherein it has a number of ramen stalls inside one main establishment. As you enter, you are given a card which you'll have to present upon ordering your choice of ramen. The payment will then be done at the exit after you've enjoyed your meal. The one in Bugis+ has about 6 ramen stalls so we carefully went around before making our individual choices.

As I was going around, I spotted Buta God which specializes in pork ramen. What makes it so unique is that instead of serving the regular melt-in-your-mouth chasiu, its ramen bowl comes with thinly sliced pork belly and poached egg bringing up its umaminess to a whole new level. All it took was a quick glance at the menu and I was sold! I got the Pork God Ramen (S$15) which had sukiyaki-like pork slices served with ramen noodles.

Oh, it was h-e-a-v-e-n-l-y. The pork belly strips were so tender and sweet, the soup broth was so creamy and rich and the ramen was perfectly al dente. I happily shared this with Paul, J and A and they all gave their two thumbs up too. I'm definitely going back for more.

A tried the Tonkotsu Butter Corn Ramen (S$13.50) from Gantetsu. This was delicious too and perfect for those who wants the traditional creamy and buttery taste of tonkotsu ramen.

J, on the other hand, went for the Ajitama Ramen (S$14.50) which was Bario's specialty. I have to say, they were very generous with their serving of chasiu as you can see if basically covers half of J's huge ramen bowl.

Paul also went for Buta God after having a slurp of my soup broth and tried the Special Chicken with Ramen (S$15). It's an interesting creation of thinly sliced pork strips with chunks of Chicken Karaage. A bit too oily for my taste but it was quite good, nonetheless.

I also made sure that our guests are really filled to the brim with all the yummy dishes so I also got a couple of plates of Deep Fried Crispy Gyoza (S$5) from Buta God for us to share. Sadly, I wasn't too happy with this one as I'm not a big fan of deep-fried dumplings or gyoza. I would have preferred that they served this pan-fried or steamed instead.

Ramen Champion is such a fun place to go to for all ramen fans out there. Since these 6 ramen stalls are competing against each other, patrons are then asked to submit their vote at the exit. Of course, my vote went to Buta God for this particular visit. I'll be back to try more!

Ramen Champion is located at the 4th level of Bugis+, 201 Victoria Street, Singapore (MRT Station: Bugis). Call them at 6238-1011. They also have a branch at Great World City and Changi Airport Terminal 3.

Franny Mommy Finds : Happy Noz Sticker Patch

As a parent, I have one thing that I dread the most and that's when any of my kids fall sick. From the moment we detect the faintest sniffle followed by sneezes and runny nose, we know one thing is for sure -- we will be having a couple of sleepless nights. For twins, it is very common that when one falls sick, expect the other one to follow suit in just a matter of days, sometimes within hours even.  A few years ago, my twins would catch a cold and we really would struggle because they'd become very fussy and cranky at night. They're sleepy and tired from the cold but with a clogged nose, they can't really have a restful night and this means, either one of us will have to sit up and carry them all throughout the night. It came to a point wherein both kids were sick and Paul and I eventually caught the bug too. It was just so hard to care for the kids while you're not in the best condition as well. This got me researching on remedies on how we can have a good night ...

Bag of Beans (Charito) in Tagaytay

I can't believe that we have been frequenting Tagaytay for more than a decade now and not once have I written about Bag of Beans ! I tried searching all over this blog and I found..nothing. To think that not a single trip to Tagaytay, back then, would ever be complete without stopping by Bag of Beans for lunch or merienda. I must have been to engrossed with their coffee and bread that I wasn't able to take photos of the place and their food thus no blog entry. They, after all, have one of the best brewed coffee in Tagaytay and the yummiest bread to go with it too. Bag of Beans has been an institution in Tagaytay. Just like us, other tourists and visitors would make sure to drop by in order to grab a bite or to take home some of their homemade goodies every time they find themselves in Tagaytay. Bag of Beans started with one branch along the Tagaytay-Nasugbu Main Road across Residence Inn Zoo and it wasn't even overlooking the Taal. While they may lack in having a scenic ...

IKEA Singapore Pyjamas Party

For those who have watched the movie 500 Days of Summer starring Zooey Deschanel and my ex-boyfriend Joseph Gordon-Levitt, you probably also loved this scene: Paul and I are regular shoppers of IKEA . It's highly possible that someday, we will be able to furnish our future home with IKEA furniture pieces and items as it has been our go-to place since our 1st day here in Singapore. We would joke that if only we can live in IKEA, we probably would go for it. Well, who would have thought that the opportunity would come for us to "spend the night" in IKEA? A week ago, Paul and I were chosen to be one of the lucky few to join the exclusive IKEA Pyjamas Party . It was a 4-hour event starting at 11PM and we were told to come in..what else?!...our PJs. We were too shy though so we just went in our comfy t-shirt and shorts. Well, some were really brave and came in their full PJs complete with fluffy bedroom slippers! This event was to launch the 2015 IKEA catalogue also...
