Japanese food
Kotobuki - The Lesser Known Japanese Restaurant
HOT GREEN TEA ($1.50)
It is always a custom to order a drink of hot green tea, especially when one is served in a customised stone cup. With a comfortingly smooth and astringent quality, it is perfect during this rainy weather.
TONKOTSU RAMEN ($14.00)
Every bowl of Ramen comes with its own distinctive look and taste, and the tonkotsu ramen at Kotobuki is served in a dispiriting oversized bowl, drowning the presentation in a saddening desultory manner.Aside from the decent broth, the highlight would be the smoky-savoury char siew and ajitsuke tamago with its firm bouncy egg white and creamy yolk centre.
MISO RAMEN ($14.00)
Sometimes people make mistakes, and not ordering a different food item at Kotobuki is one of them. My partner Ashley ordered the ramen with miso as the soup's base. The fermented soy-bean gave the soup a combination of savoury, salty and sweet, with a hint of seaweed flavour. Otherwise, both bowls were nearly identical.
