After spending the entire day in Shatin, I was ready to take off for our home sweet home but little nugget had other ideas. Obviously, he thought there was still unfinished business at New Town Plaza. In fact, he’s been asking for his ramen fix all day and he’s not going to be denied!
Luckily, we managed to spot Takano Ramen (多賀野) without a huge lineup so we decided to grab a quick one there before heading home.
Takano Soy Sauce Ramen (醬油拉麵) – Takano's signature ramen with a clear broth made of free-range chicken, freshest seafood and pork bones.
I was never really a fan of shoyu ramen but little one really loves it (well, he loves all his ramen)!
The smoky barbecued pork had just the perfect balance of meat and fat to it.
And the soft-boiled egg well-executed as usual. Pretty nice.
Premium Crab Tsukemen Ramen (極上蟹皇沾麵) – Admittedly, I am always too lazy to have tsukemen (dipping noodles) because it takes way too long to finish. And because of that, the broth always seems to get cold towards the end.
I always found it surprising that nobody tried to light a fire underneath the broth to make sure it’s in the right temperature. Well, finally, my prayers were answered here at Takano!
The creamy white fish broth cooked with crab coral was very aromatic. Could smell it from miles away.
And if the broth isn’t strong enough for you, they have crab roe paste ready on the side to help enhance the flavors even more! This was really cool but trust me, just a tad of that will make the broth really salty.
The dipping ramen came with deep-fried soft-shell crab and bamboo shoot.
I thought the broth was really rich flavored (understandably so for dipping noodles) and having the entire bowl of noodles with the broth was really a little too heavy for me.
Coconut sorbet – Of course, dinner at Takano Ramen is not complete without this coconut sorbet. A refreshing end to a pretty nice ramen dinner. Now, time to head home for a good night of sleep in preparation for a really busy week.
