So far, I've been to Shoryu in Soho and Kingly. On the way to Kingly's Shoryu today, I also passed the one on Regent St. I guess you could call it 2 and a half out of 3 done! Don't worry! I'm not an eating-out all the time kind...I don't think...
So why did I decide to go eat ramen today? Apart from obvious mouth-craving reasons plus it being Easter vacation period, I was given the voucher (see below) from my last visit to Soho's Shoryu. 2 for 1! Who could resist that?!
It took a bit of time to find the place - nicely tucked inside Kingly Court and in between Kingly St and Carnaby St - but the search was worth it. Never had I tasted such good tonkotsu broth (not that I'm a Japanese cuisine expert or anything but it was seriously delicious.)
I really liked the traditional Japanese setting.
Freshly made hirata buns in that steamer right there! Behind the soy sauce!
They've arrived! Was really impressed by the belly pork hirata bun I had last time at Soho - so I had to have it again! Except this time they spiced it up with some chilli sauce. Nice!
Finally! The long awaited Shoryu Ganso Tonkotsu was in front of me - Shoryu's signature ramen: 'a rich tonkotsu pork broth with bbq pork nitamago egg, kikurage mushrooms, spring onion, sesame, ginger, nori, mayu (caramelised black garlic oil) & fried shallots.'
I personally lean towards being a musical hermit whenever possible. However, when I do go out, I always try to make the most out of it! Hope you enjoy these rare outdoor/vacation dates of mine!
