Yakizakana Ramen at Mashi no Mashi Singapore

Yakizakana Ramen

Mashi no Mashi's new location at Nankin Row (3 Pickering Street #01-42) had a sign that caught my eye: grilled fish ramen. But when I got closer, it looked a little dubious, being on a separate menu from a brand called Yakizakana Ramen. Presumably the local operator created that as its own brand using the same facility, and indeed, the staff said that this other menu featured "local ramen," whatever that meant.

I was surprised by how much I liked it. Sure, the broth tasted like a peppery mix that one would get from an instant noodle packet, but that was part of the appeal. More importantly, the noodles were kept firm, and the fish was delicately laced with a bit of citrus and grilled aroma. And it was less than ten bucks too. I don't know if I'd try the fried version, but the grilled fish on its own is something that I'd be happy to eat again.
