Great Gyozas @ Minami Kadofuji

Minami Kadofuji (Kowloon Bay)

Gyoza:

Compared to Minami Aoyama and Mugendai, this was my favourite because the dumpling skin was taut and thin.
The filling was a good balance of meat, crispy aromatic vegetables.
I could taste chives, cabbages and a hint of ginger.
The dumplings at this place taste like the ones at Hide Ramen.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Naoyuki KAWASHIMA:


The ramen was topped with extra vegetables compared to other ramens styles and the thickness of the ramen strand was nearly as thick as udon, it was overly al-dente but when eaten with the crunchy vegetables there was a good balance in terms of mouthfeel.
It was topped with strong salty crushed garlic which gave the beanshoots an extra touch but with the broth it was quite salty.

Supplementary Information:This was a complimentary tasting thanks to MegaBox promotions, we tried all six joints that day.
As well as the tasting, it was so generous of them to give us coupons for IKEA, GigaSports and a cute Winnie the Pooh notebook.

Tsukemen @ MENBAN YAMAGISHI KAZUO

Special Tsukemen:

To be honest I am not fond of Tsukemen style ramen (noodles dipped in broth).
They were thick al dente ramen dipped in hot broth which was strong complemented by the crisp julienne pieces of cabbage.
The broth was quite nice because it was quite sweet.

The Cha-Cha noise at Mugendai

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Gyoza:

The dumpling skin was a bit thick and the pork and cabbage filling in the middle was a bit soft and bland.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Special Cha Cha Ramen:


This is called Cha Cha ramen because when it is cooked, it makes a noise when they put the lard in the boiling hot soup.
The broth was quite clear with bits of lard floating on top, but the taste of the broth was really light with fresh pork taste.
The pork slices had even layers of meat and fat.
The ramen tasted quite nice and the pork broth was balanced by the spring onions and beanshoots

A popular pick for starters @ BUTA GOD

Nikumashi Ramen:


When this arrived, it reminded me of Tokushima ramen that I had at Ippudo because of the thinly sliced delicate pork and the egg.
There was a hot spring egg in it which had a runny yolk, perfect with the pork and noodles.
I liked the noodles in this ramen because they were not that thick and the texture and appearance was a bit like wheat spaghetti.
For people who can't decide I would recommend this one because of the lovely lean pork and the ramen.

Fugenzo, my second favourite so far

Tonkotsu Special Miso Ramen:


This was my second favourite compared to Minami Aoyama.
The broth had a really nice taste because it had a hint of garlic and ginger mixed in with the miso soup base.
I liked the noodles after they were soaked in the broth for a bit because the texture was softer and absorbed the broth.
If it was not that that salty, it would have been perfect.
The egg was really nice too because the egg white was delicately flavoured by the broth and the yolk was slighty runny.

Minami Aoyama, you've got my vote

Tonkotsu special ramen:



Personally this was my favourite bowl of Ramen because they were my favourite thin white noodles, and the broth was light and delicious with a creamy pork and chicken taste.
I liked everything that was topped on top of the noodles from the pickled red ginger to the pickled vegetables.
The sliced pork was great too, it was lean, tender and fresh.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Gyoza:


The gyozas were quite soft and there was a good proportion of cabbage in it compared to the pork, but the ginger taste was quite strong.
