For this episode, we went down to Menbaka Fire Ramen at Cineleisure Orchard to destroy a 15-bowl Flaming Ramen Challenge! Menbaka Fire Ramen is a renowned Ramen purveyor based in Kyoto, Japan and this is their first outlet outside of Kyoto. Their ramen comes heavily flavoured with Negi (Japanese Scallion), with your choice of a Shoyu Broth (their speciality, at $17.90), a Tonkotsu Broth ($18.90) or a Vegetarian Broth ($16.90). The highlight of your visit would be a fiery display of the Chef pouring burning Negi Oil onto your bowl of ramen, resulting in a tower of flames. They allow you to sit right in front of this show and will film the entire thing for you if you wish.
For my challenge, I ate 15 bowls of Shoyu Fire Ramen. Each bowl came with the Shoyu Broth, Ramen Noodles, Char Shu and a heavy sprinkling of Negi, before being topped by their signature Negi Oil. The flaming Negi Oil added a smoky flavour to the Shoyu Broth, reminiscent of wok hei but with a scallion tang. The broth was rich and flavourful, not overly salty but with noticeable layers of flavour-building. The Shoyu Broth is made from chicken, soy sauce and with 2 different kinds of fish, which formed the umami richness. I was surprised by the amount of Negi (and additional Negi Oil) added, but it helped to mellow the strong Shoyu Broth flavours. The ramen was excellent, al dente, yet springy and mildly flavoured, perfect to soak up the rich Shoyu Broth.
With the Shoyu Broth being very heavy, I opted not to guzzle all the bowls which allowed me to push to 15 bowls of Shoyu Fire Ramen. Menbaka Fire Ramen is a quaint restaurant that pairs adrenaline-pumping theatrics with excellent Shoyu Ramen at a very reasonable price. Aside from the good ramen, do visit for the unique experience and Instagrammable photos!
