Wasabi tonkatsu @ Hakata Ippudo in Admiralty

Found out about this new branch of Ippudo while going to Arome Bakery Room.

Previously just tried the noodles at Ippudo in TST.
The items offered at different branches seem to be slightly different.

At this branch they had the Wasabi broth noodles which was not available at the TST branch so I tried that and I also tried the grilled gyozas and grilled tofu.

The music and air conditioning at this branch was of slight nuisance.

Wasabi tonkatsu

They did not have this at the TST branch so tried it here, the wasabi in the soup was really strong and surprisingly it tasted really nice and the broth was quite thick as well.
Compared to the product pictures, they could have been more generous with the wasabi leaves and spring onions.

Grilled gyozas

The gyozas were grilled just right and the skin was slighty crispy with juicy grounded meat inside.
Although they were nice, I felt that the gyozas at Hide Chan are better and the sauce that came with it was nicer too.

Grilled tofu with yam and cheese

Initially the dish looked really heavy but it tasted quite nice, the yam was very viscous and slimy and went well with the tofu, however the cheese was slightly over grilled.

Picked ginger - condiments

Compared to other ramen joints, this was the best pickled ginger because they did not taste sweet, it was savoury and sour.

3.6 hokkaido milk scrambled egg with Ciabatta

Found out about this new branch from IVYCWK's review.
Initially I thought it was a Cafe because it served scrambled eggs with ciabatta for breakfast and I thought there was a sit in area too, however it is just a takeaway shop.

It would be great if they had an Arome Bakery Room Cafe in the future, the cakes and selections could be more extensive since they are now serving milkshakes at this branch too.

The breakfast set costs $22 but luckily you can buy the items separately because I do not drink HK style milk tea or Coffee.

The scrambled egg with ciabatta comes with ham, cheese or mushroom.
Ham was sold out so I was limited to a choice between cheese or mushroom, however I could not decide so I ended up getting both.

 

 

After unwrapping the Ciabatta bun which was wrapped like a burger, the appearance of the bun was just a dusted bun and not really a ciabatta bun which is much harder.
Although it was not the real ciabatta, I preferred this bun because it was soft and dusted and light for breakfast.

3.6 hokkaido milk scrambled egg with mushroom and Ciabatta:

 

I tried this one first, when it was unwrapped, the egg had a brownish colour which is normal because of the mushroom juices.
The scrambled egg was soft and fluffy and the mushrooms were earthy hard button mushrooms which were fresh and not the canned typed of mushrooms.

3.6 hokkaido milk scrambled egg with cheese and Ciabatta:

 

This one tasted slighty strong because of the cheese but it was also nice as well.
It would be great if they had a mega ciabatta with scrambled eggs, mushrooms and cheese!
The eggs in both buns were fluffy and not greasy.
