As we changed our itinerary for our trip today, Taman Mount Austin became our last stop. Wasn't really prepared for dinner to be in this area and we did a last minute scramble to find a eating place. I initially thought of MaMa Nyonya Restaurant in Taman Molek... we arrived, walked into the shop and after 5minutes walked out... cos the price was steep! And they didn't even have soup on the menu... how can a Peranakan restaurant not have soup?! So we decided to go back to Taman Mount Austin area to have dinner.

We initially wanted to try Warakuya, but as usual, queue was long. The waitress told us we had to wait at least 25mins for a table. So we took a number, sat down for 2 minutes and flipped through the menu. The price was not very cheap, so we decided to drive around the area in search of another restaurant. I remembered KOBO 烤霸工坊 and we wanted to try it, only to realize that they are not opened on Mondays. Great. So bobian, have to 随便吃 and we wandered into this ramen restaurant, called Torazou Ramen Restaurant. Was a bit apprehensive walking in, cos at 745pm, there was only 1 table filled, the restaurant only had 3 people - 2 customers and 1 waiter... with us, that made 5.

We sat down and ordered the ramen and some side dishes, and surprisingly, the food was actually quite good. Another plus point is service was good too... and the waiter reminded us of our gaming friend, Josh. We were also pleasantly surprised when the waiter wrote down the wifi password for us to connect... not that we needed it since we have the uMobile prepaid card... but it definitely added points to the place.

It's called big char siew raman, but not char siew lah, it's actually pork chop to me.

Your normal char siew ramen, quite nice.

The shishamo is really good.

Mentaiko gyoza... totally love it... I can never get enough of mentaiko...

Pork skewer recommended by the waiter, marinated with salt and pepper and grilled. Very nice.
