Before dining here, it was clueless to tell what cuisine they did, the interior was very Oriental, and the dishes were similar to Shanghai food.
However when you sit down, it turns out to be Japanese food in Chinese style.
It is very interesting, most of their noodles are Ramen but cooked in Chinese style, ranging from Shanghai style dan dan noodles, to spicy beancurd meat noodles (ma pore doa fu), to chow mein, the crispy noodles just like the chinese style!!
The concept of crispy ramen noodles sounds interesting, but for the Chinese crispy noodles, I do not like them, so I wouldnt expect myself to like the Japanese style.
As well as noodles, they did Chinese stylemain dishes such as stir fried eggs with prawns, liver with chives, sweet and sour etc.
There were three noodles that I thought were worth trying: stir fried noodles, dan dan noodles with black sesame, and the beancurd meat noodles.


Pork stir fried grilled salt noodles:
It is unusual for ramen to be stir fried, but it was quite nice, although the oil was a bit too strong, there was lots of julienne vegetables in it, and tonnes of grounded fresh black peppar.

Black sesame dan dan noodles

This was the best, it was ramen in dan dan broth, with thick black sesame paste, topped with spicy minced meat on top and lot of spring onions.
The black sesame made the soup slightly thick, the flavours for this soup was quite intense, gritty black sesame, and slightly spicy minced meat.
It was strange, that the soup was slightly sour, but I tried it twice, and it seems to be sour.


Beancurd meat noodles:
If your a lover of beancurd and spicy meat (ma pore doa fu), this is worth trying, because it has thick soup with beancurds and spicy minced meat.



Almond tofu:
To round it up, dessert was good, it was almond pudding, the best almond pudding I have tried, because I do not like almond, and the pudding basically has no almond taste which is great for me.
It was so smooth, and not too sweet, basically it tasted like a milk pudding.
The only negative point about this place are some of the carriage seats, the gap between the table and chair is so small, it is so hard getting in and out!!
The gap to get in and out of is smaller than the length of an adult shoe!
