This restaurant has quite an authentic Japanese touch.

Although, the variety of ramen available in this restaurant is rather limited, it is still worth a try for that tinge of 'Nippon'. :) There are 3 main type of soup bases available at Marutama. They are 1) chicken soup, 2) spicy chicken soup and 3)'Limited special soupbase'-made from a varieties of nuts and as a bonus, it tastes rather healthy.

Once you have chosen the type of soup-base for your ramen, you can choose the sides you want for your ramen. The price of each side dish varies but they range between $1-$5. Some sides include Aosa (seaweed), 'stew pork', tamago, negi (spring onions) and lemons (I love that slight tinge of sourness).

Both editors are in love with the stew pork and tamago. All the essence and gist can be tasted from these 2 sides. They are flavourful but not overpowering!! The tamago is a real treasure.It looks like any hard-boiled egg. But but but... when you cut the egg open, the egg yolk which is in semi-liquid form oozes out and teases your tastebuds. So the tamago is a must-order for ramen lovers out there. =)

Take a look at the food:

Special limited Ra-men (chicken soup with a mixture of 7 nuts):

Spicy chicken soup with stew pork:

Side dish: Tori Dango

(minced chicken ball with some minced ingredients)

The soup is super rich!

Well, the above 3 dishes cost us $49.90. We find it overpriced. However, we still think it is worth trying as it is not really easy to find ramen with very 'sincere' soup-base in Singapore. =) At the very most, don't visit this restaurant so often in order to keep your pocket from emptying... haha....

Have a wonderful weekend! ^___^
