Kyoto Ramen Hachicken in Singapore

Shouyu Chintan Special Ramen

Apparently there's some high-end chicken restaurant in Kyoto called Hachiki-an that has been around for a long time. And when they started up some overseas branches, they went with the name Hachicken. I couldn't wipe the smile off my face after seeing that and thus went to Chinatown Point to check it out (133 New Bridge Road #01-51).

Well, the overseas outlet is a downscale ramen shop, featuring both a chintan and paitan. I'm not sure if they mixed up my order for the former, but it was surprisingly thick like a sauce, and it wasn't as savory as I would have hoped either. The chicken parts were of decent quality, but clearly came from a chilling unit earlier. I won't be rushing back.
