it's back to talking about Ramen again. it's our pet subject, and somehow we've been eating quite abit of ramen lately. this one, i assure you is different though. they place alot of emphasis on the quality of the soup, the char-shu is flame grilled and the ramen serves as warm comfort during this cold festive season.



Bari-Uma Ramen is located in a rather outskirt location along Orchard Road, Tanglin Shopping Centre to be precise. their speciality is the extreme richness of their pork-based shoyu soup which is used for almost all of their ramen servings. The Ajitama-Uma ramen above is their signature dish served in that rich shoyu soup and thick-cut flamed char-shu.



for the more adventurous, another of their recommended choices is the Kara-Uma ramen, which is served in a flaming hot spicy broth. this is one of those options where you either love it or find it too hot to handle (literally). i took the Nori-Uma ramen, which is essentially the original shoyu soup-base served with large seaweed.

to note, we really enjoyed the soup base of these ramen, because they were thick, rich in flavour and yet not too salty. the thick-cut flamed char-shu comes with a dash of chilli sauce on it to give all their ramen dishes some mild spiciness for that extra kick. the ramen was served warm and remained warm throughout our meal; very basic and yet a rare find in most chain ramen stores here today.



was feeling really hungry that evening and wanted to try out some of the side-dishes that they offered. the Teri-yaki Gyoza above was pretty normal, a little too dry and always makes me wonder how Keisuke Gyoza King could be different (to try next).



Bari-Uma also boasts a variety of Yakitori dishes or barbecued skewers. we tried the pork belly yakitori which was pretty well grilled. the meat was a little tough but that didn't take away the pleasure that we'd expect from skewers. in all, Bari-Uma ramen actually turned out to be one of the better ramen i've eaten this year. What's more, no long queues for ramen served in soup with such richness, you'd slurp down to the last drop.
