Tenkomori Ramen House, CBD

Winter is coming (bet you that's definitely not the first time you've heard that) and ramen noodle bars are becoming hugely popular. As autumn chills get progressively colder, a bowl of hot steaming soup is ever appealing. After mothers day we went all over the city and that very cold night brings us to Tenkomori.

It's definitely busy this time of the year but there's plenty of seats available and I see many others invading the tables of the adjacent Chanoma. It's got the same format as mappen does where you order a bowl at the front and pick up some fried goods along the way.

L Plain Tonkotsu 5.9

The soup bases are where they mostly differ. Tonkotsu ramen has a nice creamy, although almost weirdly milky, consistency that's quite nice. I didn't not like it but it lacks any real depth in flavour which is quite sad. The noodles are nice for what more can you expect from a ramen house as cheap as this. I get mine with a soft boiled egg but I let it steep in the soup for a little too long so it's not as runny as I'd hoped. My bad.

R Black Garlic Shoyu 4.9

Black garlic is garlic fermented in a balsamic mixture so you'd be expecting a sort of sweet soury flavour in this soup which is what you get. It's a clear broth with a heady perfume and probably the favourite on the table.

It's not bad but it's not great either. I'm on a uni budget. I really can't complain.
