Chabuton

Located at B2 of 313@somerset beside Saboten, Chabuton is opened by Michelin-starred chef Yasuji Morizum who was named "King of Ramen" by well-known Japanese program TV Champion in 2002. With presence in Japan and Thailand, it was the first ramen eatery ever to be awarded Michelin star. Decked out in neutral colours and lots of wood, the décor was typical of most Japanese restaurants. Lunch sets include small portions of ramen with a side dish and a dessert. My choice was its signature Chabuton Tonkotsu Ramen, Hitokuchi gyoza and konnyaku jelly. The rich and creamy broth was a tad oily and salty though I loved the springy thin noodles and tender melt-in-the-mouth chashu slice. While skin of gyoza was thin, it was not crispy enough and the filling was nothing to rave about. But the sweet grape and peach jelly was a perfect end to my meal.
