They said 'It is so hard to leave—until you leave. And then it is the easiest god-damned thing in the world.' People come and go, but the important people will stay around you. One of my closest colleague is leaving Pathlight on Friday so a few of us decided to have a farewell dinner with her to mark off the last journey with her. It is sad to see your colleague leave but all you can do is to wish her all the best for her future endeavours! More or less, you can still meet up for a quick dinner in some other days.

Singapore is crowded with so many Japanese restaurants serving ramen these days. Each restaurant is vying to serve the best sushi or the best ramen in town. The competition between the rivals is heating up and it's healthy because that would mean that customers will get to enjoy good and tasty ramen at affordable prices. Here's one ramen shop you that serve not the best ramen in Singapore but good, delicious and tasted pretty authentic. So on Thursday, we settled our dinner at Men-chi Japanese Restaurant at Nex! We wanted to look for cafes but there wasn't much cafes nearby our area );

I ordered the Miso Tonkotsu Ramen & Gyoza Set ($16.90++) which includes a chicken karage side dish, gyoza (3 pcs) and the ramen itself! It is much more value-for-money than those ramen shops where one bowl of ramen itself already costs $17++.

Tonkotsu Ramen - I think it is better than average, though not the best. the soup base is savoury but not overwhelmingly salty, and it is very rich and thick! Like it quite a lot and would foresee a second visit for this. The ramen noodles were okay, passable. The highlight was the super delicious soup which is probably the main selling point.

Part of the ramen set, these plate of freshly made gyozas were crispy on one side, oily smooth on the other with a juiccccy yet steaming hot meaty filling.

This was a disappointment. If I had to pay for this, I would immediately ask them to return it to the kitchen as this is not worth $1. Ok, it might not be that bad but just look at it. If you say that it looks dry and the char siew looks like its been massacred, well its because it was. I had to ask for extra sauce on this so that it became edible. Tip... don't order this here just stick with the ramen and you'll be fine.
