Dried noodle with minced pork sauce

Jasmine's comments:

1. Although the name says its HK specialty food but not sure is the name relevant to the food they served as it is all Shanghainese food.
   
2. This set costs SGD6, not only it is value for money but also delicious.
3. Dumpling sticks to the paper, so extra care is needed when picking up the dumpling so that the soup can be retain within when eating it.
4. Noodle is handmade on the spot.
5. Sauce given, is more than enough to go with the bowl of noodle and it is not salty.

Men-Tei Ramen: Shio

Restaurant: Men-Tei, 61 Robinson Road, #01-01 Robinson Center

Comments (Updated):

1. Damn good clear soup. Shio is "salt-base".
   
2. Cha-shu melts in your mouth. Always go for additional toppings.
   
3. Noodles are home-made and chewy. Doesn't taste like instant noodle (like at some other ramen shop).
4. Apparently, ingredients are fresh and flown daily from Japan. Apparently.
   
5. With other soup base (e.g. tonkatsu, miso) sure there are better options ... but for Shio this is the best.
