Ramen Hitoyoshi (ラーメン人吉), Tiong Bahru Plaza

Ramen Hitoyoshi (ラーメン人吉), Tiong Bahru Plaza

Ramen Hitoyoshi started a few years ago by some guys who were the alumni of Keisuke. Their game's tonkotsu ramen because...erm, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree? They've recently set up shop in the space vacated by Marutama at Tiong Bahru Plaza (#02-138 Tiong Bahru Plaza, 302 Tiong Bahru Road).

Ramen Hitoyoshi (ラーメン人吉), bean sprouts

There's bottomless bean sprouts that you can help yourself to. Seem to get the impression that the ones at Keisuke's shops are better but I cannot be sure. These guys don't offer the same for hard boiled eggs though. Would be awesome if they did. 

Ramen Hitoyoshi (ラーメン人吉), gyoza

Gyozas were meaty. Not bad tasting.

Ramen Hitoyoshi (ラーメン人吉), shishamo

Our fried shishamo didn't have a lot of eggs. I don't think they cared about the eggs here so we won't be getting it again. But otherwise it was a decent fried fish.

Ramen Hitoyoshi (ラーメン人吉), special charshu tonkotsu

This was their special charshu tonkotsu bowl. Charshu was much more thinly sliced than what the pictures led us to believe and it was also delicious. The kind that fell apart in the mouth without much chewing. Broth was richly flavoured, porcine and salty - like how I was hoping for it be. 

Would be great if they offered "extra hard" noodles but I guess their "hard" passed muster. Kinda pricey though.

Ramen Hitoyoshi (ラーメン人吉), mazesoba

There's also mazesoba.

Ramen Hitoyoshi (ラーメン人吉), mazesoba

Doesn't have the flavour intensity like Menya Kokoro or Kajiken but I thought therein laid an appeal to how it was less heavy on the taste. With a splash of vinegar and crushed sesame seeds, it was easy to inhale.
