Gumshara Ramen

I came here with very high expectations after the wonderful post by Grab Your Fork on Gumshara Ramen. Captured in vivid details were the painful process of making this deceivingly simple looking bowl of ramen noodles. This noodle soup, is made with, water, pork bones and a whole lot of LOVE.

The result is a super thick & rich broth, that is unrivaled. While I greatly admire the chef's work and tremendous efforts in creating this bowl of noodles, is not entirely too my liking, in my personal opinion too salty ( I understand that you can request for one that is less salty/thick). It was also made worse by me ordering the ramen with garlic, which of course has a surprisingly intense garlic taste, which I am not a big fan of.

Another criticism that I can put forward is the lack of texture in the dish, maybe it is made that way, i.e. texture is not a key component of the dish. Nonetheless, it did pop into my mind when i was eating it.

I did entirely enjoy the expertly cooked pork slices, (other places tend to make it really chewy) and the most beautiful seasoned soft-boiled egg.

I must say that I am slightly disappointed with the noodles that evening. (maybe it has got to do over expectations)

I must say, I will give it the benefit of the doubt and try it again, this time minus the garlic and milder version of the broth. Thank you.
