Ebi Bar – Prawn Noodles at Cuppage Plaza Orchard

SEPTEMBER 10, 2011

The soup here was sweet, slightly prawny and smoky, and quite refreshing, almost like a mix between the more modern prawny ramen soup, and the traditional Singaporean prawn noodle soup. I drank it all up. The onsen egg was perfectly wobbly, cha shu very tender and slightly smoky, and prawns nicely chao ta, sweet, moderately springy, giving off a nice smoky umami aroma from the torching of the prawn shell. The only weakness was the noodles, which was neither springy nor soft, and was a bit floury. Nice.
