Food:
Iced Japanese Green Tea - $1
Average Japanese Green Tea.
Taste: 1/5
Chabuton Kara Kara Ramen - $13.90
A huge dollop of spicy minced pork which is a combination of fermented tofu and pork was good. Noodles are stringy and packed with so much flavour. The pork bone broth was rich and creamy but it was a tad too salty and there's too much sesame seed. Overall, it still taste good.
Taste: 1.75/5
Yoruton Ramen (Level 4) - $12.90
The new ramen dish, Yoruton Ramen offers five levels of spiciness, starting from level 1 that's suitable for those with a low tolerance for spicy food and up to level 5 for the fiery fighter. The Yoruton Ramen will be available from 18 May 2015 to 31 July 2015. With every order of the Yoruton Ramen, Chabuton customers will receive a stamp on their loyalty card. Collect at least five stamps on your loyalty card to receive cash vouchers.
I opted for level 4 of spiciness. The ramen consist of the usual juicy char siew, bamboo shoots, the rich signature tonkotsu broth and its special chilli paste. Level 4 of spiciness was tantalisingly spicy with heavy hints of garlic. The broth was savoury and aromatic without overdoing its spiciness. The spiciness kick start after a few mouthful of soup. The more you drink, the more spicy.
Taste: 3/5
Ajitsuke Tamago - $1.50
Chabuton's ramen don't come with eggs, but if you feel that egg is a must-have in your bowl of ramen, you can add on $1.50 to enjoy it. The eggs that we were served are consistent, and are runny. It was good.

Overall, The ramen was pretty good. Spicy lovers come down for the spiciness ramen challenge before it end. More info: Apart from customising your desired level of spiciness, you can also choose how you want their ramen and broth to be prepared. You can even choose the texture of their noodles, from soft or hard. Depending on your preferences, you may even choose how unctuous and salty you want your dishes to be.
