Menbaka Fire Ramen Launches Limited-Edition Ebi Series, Featuring the World’s First-Ever Ebi Fire Ramen In Celebration Of Its First Anniversary In Singapore

Our favourite among the 3 new dishes has to be the Ebi Fire Ramen (from $19.90). The preparation of this ramen was nothing short of spectacular. After the bowl of ramen was prepared, the chef would ignite negi oil at the open kitchen and we were invited to witness the display of soaring fire more than 1m high for a few seconds. This is a crucial step in the final preparation of the Ebi Fire Ramen to ensure the ramen has a signature wok hei flavour, quite similar to those Chinese zhi char kitchen. The strong flames from the fire creates the ever-impressive wok hei taste. In addition, the prawn broth with its rich umami note made the dish felt like a special version of Japanese prawn noodles.

The other two dishes available during this period are the Ebi Mazesoba (from $19.90) and Volcano Ebi Kakiage ($7.90). The Ebi Mazesoba looks like the dry version of Ebi Fire Ramen. This version of the dry ramen comes with 3 large prawns which have been partially peeled and easy to consume. We like the soft onsen egg and flavourful minced pork that go very well with the ramen. The Volcano Ebi Kakiage consists of carrot and onion strips as well as kawa epi coated in flour mix and carefully shaped into a volcano before being deep fried and topped generously with Japanese mayonnaise, okonomiyaki sauce and bonito flakes.
