Ichikokudo Hokkaido Ramen - New Hokkaido Chicken Ramen Restaurant

 A-One Claypot House at the basement of Suntec City Mall has been recently replaced with a new ramen restaurant called Ichikokudo Ramen. 

 
Ichikokudo Hokkaido Ramen – Restaurant Side View
 
Whenever I think of Hokkaido ramen, the image that comes to mind is that of Sapporo ramen with its thick curly yellow noodles and miso-based broth. 
 
Ichikokudo Hokkaido Ramen offers chicken broth ramen. Eat at Seven’s Menya Takeichi serves a really delicious chicken ramen, so I was left with a favorable impression of chicken ramen. 
 
Ichikokudo Hokkaido Ramen – Ichikokudo Ramen
 
 
This is their signature Ichikokudo Ramen [$9.90]. The broth is made with chicken bones which are simmered for long hours, mixed with a blend of bonito, mackerel and unami (made from Hokkaido kelp). The broth is not as thick as its pork counterpart but just as rich and flavorful. 
 
The noodles are made with a special blend of flour that includes Hokkaido wheat. This is supposed to male the noodles more textured and firm but I personally find the noodles a little soft. 
 
Served with ajitsuke tamago (Japanese flavored egg), bamboo shoots, wood ear mushrooms, chashu and aosa seaweed to evoke aroma of the Hokkaido sea. 
 
Ichikokudo Hokkaido Ramen – Hokkaido Clams Ramen
 
 
Seafood lovers will like the Hokkaido Clams Ramen [$14.90] where the sweetness of the clams and the richness of Hokkaido butter gives this ramen a nice touch. Some of the clams are not cleaned thoroughly enough, there may still be sand in the clams so do be careful. 
 
Ichikokudo Hokkaido Ramen – Ichi Smoked Duck Ramen
 
 
Ichikokudo Ramen comes in many variations such as Ichi-Smoked Duck Ramen [$12.90], Ichi-Beef Ramen [$12.90], Ichi-Hokkai Veggies Ramen [$11.90], Ichi-Garlic Ramen [11.90] and Ichi-Ramen Gifts From The Sea [$18.90]. 
 
There are also broths that combines the ichikokudo chicken broth with daichi tomato, hokkai jigoku (spicy miso), hokkai seafood and Shoyu Ramen. 
 
Ichikokudo Hokkaido Ramen – Special Tartar Sauce Karaage Don Set
 
Ichikokudo Hokkaido Ramen – Special Tartar Sauce Karaage Don
 
 
Besides ramen, Ichikokudo Hokkaido Ramen also offers donburi karaage and donburi toji sets such as this Special Tartar Sauce Karaage Don [$10.90] pictured above. I find the karaage a tad salty but it is a satisfying meal all in all.
 
Ichikokudo Hokkaido Ramen – Hokkaido Butter Clams
 
 
Hokkaido Butter Clams [$6.90] are only lukewarm by the time it reaches my table. The addition of the Hokkaido butter gives the clams a richness that sets it apart from other clam dishes. 
 
Ichikokudo Hokkaido Ramen – Ichikokudo Grilled Gyoza
 
 
Although gyoza is not Ichikokudo Hokkaido Hokkaido Ramen’s specialty, this Ichikokudo Grilled Gyoza [$6.90] is not bad at all. The pork filling inside is moist and tender while the skin is grilled till slightly charred.
 
Ichikokudo Hokkaido Ramen – Salmon Sashimi
 
 
I must say that they are pretty generous with the number of slices of salmon given for the Salmon Sashimi [$7.90]. It’s not the best type of salmon, but it will do for a quick craving fix.
 
Ichikokudo Hokkaido Ramen – Big Ebi Fry
 
 
Big Ebi Fry [$5.90] gives you three pieces of perfectly-fried prawn tempuras served with tartar sauce and a wedge of lemon. The prawns are not as “big” as advertised on the menu, they are medium-sized prawns at most. Well, at least the prawns are fresh. 
 
Ichikokudo Hokkaido Ramen – Hokkaido Milk Ice Cream Vanilla
 
 
Ichikokudo Hokkaido Ramen’s menu is a little lacking in the desserts section. There is only Hokkaido Milk Ice Cream [$2.90] with three flavors: vanilla, strawberry and matcha. I know that Hokkaido is known for its milk and all, but it would have been nice to have more variety of deserts to choose from. That being said,  the ice-cream is indeed silky-smooth and very rich. 
 
Ichikokudo Hokkaido Ramen is a great ramen joint to try out if you are sick of the thick tonkotsu broth but still want a good bowl of ramen. Although the food may not be top-notch, but there is a fair bit of variety to cater to most patrons. 
 
The best part about Ichikoukudo Hokkaido Ramen is that it is halal-certified! Muslim friends can dine here without worry.

PAUL

PAUL is a renowned family French bakery and patisserie founded in 1889. Bringing with them them the fine tradition of passion for food and French traditions, PAUL gives Singaporeans a glimpse into French culture and tradition through the delicious and visually-appealing pastries and food.       PAUL's Hot Chocolate is not as creamy as I would have liked it but every last drop is made with good-quality cocoa powder.     Lemon Tart With Meringue is not exactly my favourite dessert, but it looked so pretty that I decided to give it a try anyway. However, it proved to be too sour for my palette even with the beautifully flamed meringue.    Croque Madame is croque-monsieur (grilled ham and cheese sandwich) topped with a fried egg. Emmental cheese, cream and ham is sandwich in pain de eie and toasted till a rich golden brown colour. Topped with a fried egg with runny yolk, every bite is filled with delicious goodness.   Address and telephone n...

O'ma Spoon

                        Korean bingsu is a popular Korean dessert comprising of ice shavings and various ingredients such as sweetened condensed milk, fruit syrups, fresh fruits, Korean rice cake and ice-cream. Bingsu is all the craze in Singapore now and Korean bingsu cafes are popping up everywhere like wild mushrooms.                            Besides bingsu, this dessert cafe also serves usual cafe offerings such as coffee and tea. I have been told that their Signature Oven-Baked Honey Bread is very good. The flavours include Strawberry & Chocolate with Ice Cream, Banana & Chocolate with Ice Cream and Green Tea with Ice Cream.     I was told that   Mango Cheesecake Bingsu   is one of the most popular item on the menu. Oh my, it is a sight to behold! A bowl of shaved ice is topped with sweetened condensed milk and freshly-cut m...

Grandma's - Authentic Singapore Food

Grandma's has been around for quite a while now but I only got the chance to try their food recently when the third outlet opened in Suntec City.        I remember having these prawn crackers when I was little. They are so easy and good to eat, I can finish a whole package of this in one sitting.     I don't usually order Malay food, but the Nasi Bukhari looked so good in the menu, I thought I will give it a try. Fragrant yellow turmeric rice is served with golden brown chicken leg which is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Prawns were fresh and succulent but I don't really like the sauce the prawns are cooked in. What really amazes me about this dish is the beef rendang.          I never knew Bo Bo Cha Cha is so such a delightful dessert until I tried it here at Grandma's. The warm and thick coconut tastes so good with chunks of sweet potato and yam. This is definitely comfort food that warms the heart.   Gr...
