KJ message me this morning to ask if I was free to go lunch with him @ Central, and so I said why not, since Central is like 5 mins away from office considering I need to get back to office fast for a meeting… He remembered that I said I wanted to get something soupey for lunch yesterday, so he brought me to Marutama Ramen…
Luckily we reach the place early, coz queue quickly built up 10 mins after our arrival. What can I say about the place, it was an authentic Japanese restaurant owned by a Japanese boss… If you are looking for a wide variety of food, I’m afraid they have limited choices only TWO to be exact: Normal Ramen and Spicey Ramen… You can choose to top up your Ramen with any toppings which costs anything from $1 to $6… Btw, each bowl of Ramen costs $12…
Both of us had Spicey Ramen, abit too salty for me, but I love the egg. It comes in the form of lu dan and the egg yolk is fantastic, not harden but sticky liquid kind (it reminds me of the century egg I had in HK)… We also ordered dumplings which cost $5 for 6… Overall damage, $38 for 2…
thanks KJ for the ramen and the insights and stories behind the real Japanese ramen…

i had ramen in Japan once, the store only has 1 kind of ramen, u can add side dishes, u can indicate how spicy u want ur ramen to be..and all u have to do is to slot ur coin into the vending machine to order and a waiter will serve you. and i think it costs less than $10 per bowl.
