When we were just friends, my CEB and I hung out pretty often at Ajisen. It was either dinner there or at Cafe Cartel. Week after week. After watching my CEB down about say, 80 bowls of volcano ramen, we/I decided that it was time for a change. And so one weekend evening while at the Marina Bay belt, we joined the long queue outside Nantsuttei Ramen restaurant.
We were given counter seats so we had a bird's eye view of how the noodles were prepared. And the chefs in the kitchen appeared to be actually Japanese and not locals. I ordered a bowl of the original Nantsuttei Ramen which cost SGD12. The egg cost an additional SGD 1. As you can tell from the picture below, there is unfortunately, only 1 slice of char siew in the bowl of noodles but the entire meal was flavorful with just the right amount of roasted garlic oil that did not leave a greasy film on the lips. 
My CEB on the other hand, ordered a bowl of the hot/spicy ramen with a "hotness" level of 4. Apparently, someone actually ordered a bowl with a "hotness" level of 10 before and lived to tell the tale. My CEB however declined to challenge that record claiming he was here to enjoy a meal and not suffer. Oh well, in any case, by the time he was done, he was perspiring but well satiated.
The Slog Reviews: Definitely good authentic ramen with great noodles texture and slurp-worthy soup :)Address:
