Ramen Santouka

T and I were craving a good ramen so he decided to bring me to Ramen Santouka!

We took suchhhh a long time to decide what to do that when we finally went out for dinner, we only arrived at around 9pm hahahaha oops who eats dinner past 9??

Mine and T's!

I had a Shoyu ramen and he had a Char Siu ramen, both of which were really good. We were really impressed by the flavorful soup and we both fell quiet as we stopped talking and devoured our food. The pork was really disappointing though :( it was too tough!!! Poor T had to watch me gnawing unglamorously at the meat :(

T's ramen up close!

He ordered a large size and I got the medium for myself, because we were quite hungry and T has a huge appetite!! But we were struggling to finish our noodles and there was still so much left :/ I don't know what possessed me to order a medium size sigh, I should've known the limits of my tummy, especially since we also ordered a BBQ pork bun each!

My ramen + pork bun

So that's the pork bun, kinda looks like the Chinese kung ba pao! It's really really yummy, the meat wasn't very tender either but the sauce more than made up for it! It's also served with a mini-sized cup of tea, which tastes like a normal Chinese tea.

Apparently there's some debate about the best ramen in town, and though I really like this place, my vote is still for Ippudo. I have yet to find a place that serves tastier soup and better ramen noodles than Ippudo! Ippudo's meat is also spot on - tender, juicy, delicious. They also serve a pork bun that looks exactly like the bun in the photo above (minus the tea), which is equally delicious, especially the one in New York (Ippudo NY).

After dinner, T and I were really stuffed. We decided to talk a walk around Clarke Quay, our first time in ages! Wow the place was so vibrant and you'll be hardpressed to find yourself immune to the energy! We both agreed that the nightlife in our country is quite successful hehe. Blasted Avicii and Zedd in the car afterwards ;)

We didn't manage to catch a movie this weekend so T took me out for a drive! Ended up visiting his workplace because I'd never seen it before hehe I can finally picture what he does on weekdays!! We wanted to do night cycling but the bike rentals were closed. It might've been a blessing in disguise because we ended up taking a stroll through East Coast Park :)

Hahahaha actually it probably just sounds like we ran out of things to do on date nights!! We have a list of new places to explore and new things to try out, but sometimes we're so lazy and it's just nice to have a slow and relaxing night you know? :)
