MARUTAMA ramen
Tuesday, August 31, 2010

As you know, i love ramen and i can be quite an ass when i eat it also. The previous hokkaido ramen @ central was so-so. This time, someone treated me to this MARUTAMA ramen. :) :)
  • 6 Eu Tong Sen Street, #03-90/91, The Central, Singapore 059817, Singapore, Singapore
  • 65-6534-8090
No need to call for reservations.

This marutama ramen $12 is not bad. The pork is slightly too salty for my taste actually and it has this porky smell, which i think the pork comes from wild boars. Good pick but abit too strong smelling hahahhah as if im eating my own kind. The seaweed is unique though. They use chicken as base broth which is different from most ramen which uses pork. The soup is the plus point for this ramen because its not too heavy. Yes, its true that both are saturated fats like what "ieat" says, but he forgot the fact the chicken is white meat and pork is red meat. Thus, its still a healthier choice ramen if you consult me.

WAHAHAH I still win in terms of science knowledge. :P

MARUTAMA RAMEN 3/5 stars
AKA RAMEN unrated
Okay, i clearly don't know what is this c.r.a.p.... To me its some weird combi of ramen+balls+tomyam+yongtaufoo stuff. I regret ordering it. Its just weird. The weirdest is the price! $15 (w/oGST) for this bowl of dunno what. Hmmmm maybe its an acquired taste i can't appreciate. I still recommend the MARUTAMA ramen, tastier and cheaper. I ordered because of the food guru at "ieat" WTH man...

Weird chicken balls..

Lemon? hokkien mee or fish and chips dude....


The only redemption factor is the Tamago and the noodle itself. The egg is really damn nice though...... YUMMY.. and the noodles are very springy. If they combine with the Hokkaido Ramen @ central who is their next next next next next door neighbour, they would have scored better on my score card.

Well, sorry for the poor photos, next time i will remember to bring my DSLR. The above were shot on iphone.

Special thanks to someone for treating me :) :)

thoughts

Had an interview with Ms Petrinal, my ex lecturer in the morning, and as i was driving, i began to think, but this time i reminded myself to compartmentalise my emotions because they would cloud judgement whether you like it or not.

Since i was 15, I made a decision to be a dietician after taking Food and Nutrition in secondary school. The ideal of it seems so cool, like work in a hospital, help patients and care for people while drawing a reasonable pay and somewhat it balances what i like to do and what i can do. Thus, even though i could go to JC or enter any courses i wanted in an other Polytechnic, i chose Applied food science and nutrition that only required L1R4 of 15 points.

Anyway, along the way, taking modules and internship, major project, i got disappointed after seeing the shit dieticians get. Still, i feel lucky that my passion kept in on the track. Seriously, i did thought of taking the easy way out to study like business or banking or even just go into fashion design or photography full time.

Everything in life is a decision, even not deciding itself is a decision (quote from my late vocal teacher and friend, Nicole Lai). Did i regret making my career decision so young in life? Well, all i can say is that every job has its ups and downs. If everytime you see the downside and change path, you will get no where in life. I do get bored after i read so much science, but i know i want to create a better and healthier lifestyle for everyone. :) Maybe its not that im bored or anything, buts its because i got more comfortable with it already. Going abit into design did gave me a breath of fresh air but so will going into business, so will going into music. But at the end of the day, i still love my science. :D I realise like i really love nutrition, design and all but when there are obligations and restrictions, its just human nature to feel stressed out.

I don't know if its the school or Ms Petrinal but what she said brought my mindset back to when i was in Poly, where i was more open minded, more flexible, less expecting more grateful. I felt adrenaline rushing just talking about going back to school to work. Nothing's confirm but im hopeful.

My lecturer injected the impossibilites of the future back to my head. Impossbilities is something a positive person would say. It sometimes is also known as the uncertainties of the future. However, that need not be worrysome but it can be something beautiful instead. We don't know what the future brings. So all we need to do is to cherish the present because if we keep harping on the past, we can never truly move forward into the so called future.

Im going to get back all that zest for life i lost in army. VA VA VROOM WITH MY LIFE!

UPDATES!!

ENOUGH WITH POST OF THOUGHTS!! now i share with you what i'm doing these days. Life's pretty nice when you are going to ORD, trust me people! For my pioneers and fellow sergeants, LOL.. YOUR TIME WILL COME!!

SANTOUKA HOKKAIDO RAMEN


Located at Central, 2nd floor, you have to take a lift up from the concierge or you will never get there. LOL. You must walk through a smelly walkway with a restaurant under renovation where its all glue toxic. Then you will see this tiny shop. Service was not bad consider the shop size.

Ok this is the spicy ramen Huiyee ordered, abit too spicy for me. I cant rate it cuz i didnt really eat it.

This is MINE! Pork miso ramen. Hmmmm.. after tasting so many ramen in Singapore and some in Japan. I can only give this 2 out of 5 stars. Well, 1 star for the soup, 1 star for the noodles. It hits the standards of a decent ramen. However, the rest of the ingredients such as the mushroom, the somewhat seaweed not seaweed crap, even the pork was so so cuz only have 2 pathetic slices. For the price of S$14.50++, you can definitely find better. Well, i would still recommend you to try cuz taste is subjective, even though im a ramen pro. LOL.



Pardon my sleepy look. :D
And Huiyee love this picture cuz she say her arms cut into half. LOL

POP PIANO LESSONS

So happy to re-pick up piano lessons. Music soothes me.

JUST SAY IT! THE POWER OF WORDS!
Wednesday, August 11, 2010

Everyday we use about 100-300 words to convey what we want to others. The choice of words can determine whether you are a nice or nasty person; and whether people understand what you are trying to bring across and thus get the job done.

The point is! We just use words to form sentences not knowing its potential. Its potential to bring up a person's spirits. We are all human beings with emotions and really, we are affected by what we hear because ITS TRUE! OUR BRAINS PROCESSES THEM!! Is it so difficult to say "I LOVE YOU?" Will our legs get chopped off just to tell her that she is the most beautiful person in our eyes? I realise sometimes people don't ask that you fulfill your promises but that you would try.

TRY!

Such a small word but somehow seems so difficult to achieve. You know, maybe I have seen too much tragedies to a point that i truly appreciate life.

Living the moment doesn't mean that you eat whatever unhealthy food, spend all your money and enjoy life. Living the moment means you SHOW that you appreciate your mum's ironing by TELLING HER! YES! DONT KEEP IT IN YOUR FUCKING HEART BECAUSE PEOPLE FUCKING CANNOT SEE IT!

YES! action speaks louder than words. But when there's no action, words are the second best option. ASK YOUSELF! EVERYtime you wanna say I LOVE YOU, you hestitate because WHAT?!! ACTION SPEAKS LOUDER THAN WORDS! YEAH! and I SAY WORDS STILL SPEAKS LOUDER THAN YOUR SILENT APPRECIATION!

Appreciating life in a way by letting people know that you love them! and the simplest way is to say I love you! MY FELLOW ASIANS PLEASE STOP BEING AFFECTED BY YOUR IDIOTIC CULTURE OF BEING TOO SHY TO SHOW AFFECTION.

So SAY IT TODAY! GO TELL YOUR MUM YOU LOVE HER and YOUR DAD FOR LENDING YOU THE CAR FOR THE WEEKEND SO YOU CAN MAKEOUT WITH THAT GIRL AT THE CARPARK!

I LOVE YOU isn't all that difficult people!!

coffee, donuts and well, just me.
Thursday, August 5, 2010

And so i have been warned about the life towards and after you ORD. The freedom and time you have would be so much you can no longer handle after being imprisoned for 2 years. I do have things to do and such but actually there's no mainstream like previously when you have school or army, something constant that bugs you everyday to wake up and have a life. Oh yah, pardon my swollen fatty jaws. I'm still recovering from wisdom tooth operations.

Now while waiting to go to NAFA for one last time to return the part time card and get my cert, i finally gave sitting in cafe and slacking a try. And i think i shall do this more often. Just sitting in air conditioning with my mac, a brain stimulating caffeine drink and sugar donuts. :D I could get used to this.

Slacking at a cafe contemplating life is such an understated luxury.

is the grass greener on the other side?
Monday, August 2, 2010

Well, theres a reason why i went to Sentosa on a rainy sunday. Apparently, a couple of china relatives were here and my family was obligated to show them around. The younger sister has a degree from her province with a major in foreign language of English but i ponder why she doesn't know whats an avocado.

I really ponder about this issue quite abit. In exchange for a better life, why are chinese women willing to give up love? Have they looked past the facade of romantism? That it is better to face up to the realism of the world? Generally i don't blame anyone for wanting to provide for their loved ones. Esp, i know Singapore is quite in its own bubble away from the world as much as we would like to see it as a cosmopolitan. Singaporeans are sheltered, i won't deny that.

I know im still young and still holding on to certain idealistic beliefs that aren't practical. Then when i experience life more, i begin to wonder why did "adults" even ask children to dream big, in the first place; to hope and ask for more in life when they know we are going to be disappointed when we realise life is more of how we work around what we've got. Very few people get the chance to imagine and materialising their ideals. Maybe that is why i get such a strong sense of accomplishment from photoshoots. Its truly something i imagine without boundaries and creating it into a actual art piece.

Art is truly my escape. and i dont even mind getting lost in it.

hahaha sorry i side track abit. Anyway i was talking about Chinese women marrying here seeking what they imagined as a better life. That 2 relatives visiting actually seriously considered that idea and seriously im not liking it. We don't owe them a living and i don't understand why they are pressurising my family. Moreover, they made me think really deep.

I wonder is it greed? Is it greed transforming humans into ugly beings? Did one of this seven sins manage to grab hold of most of us in this materialistic world? Do we improve ourselves because we are greedy? Like want a nicer house, nicer car, nicer clothes; or just simply wanna be more awesome.

I really really wonder what is the one thing that push our directions in life. But then again, how can you say its greed when really all that girl wanted to do is to have the ability to provide for her family back in China? Isn't that love?

At the end of the day, what is really pushing us? Are we being greedy for wanting more from life? Is it wrong to want a greener pasture?

Im just silently glad i no longer desire material possessions like before :)
