Been a while since we ate at Menya Kokoro (一, 二, 三, 四, 五, 六, 七, 八, 九. 十, 十一, 十二). We came over to check out a couple of their mazesoba they whipped up for SG60.
Was pleasantly surprised by their mapo tofu mazesoba. The umami gravy packed a bit of heat - more than what I imagined though not nearly the level 3 at Torasho Ramen & Charcoal Bar. I'd eat this again.
Unexpectedly, the bak kut teh mazesoba tasted like bak chor mee. Kinda. I've mixed feelings over this one.
The ingredients that "made" this a bak kut teh mazesoba fell short. Pork rib was dry-ish and not exactly flavourful (the dark soy sauce helped). You tiao was dry and hard. Soup on the side was savoury and garlicky but not exactly bak kut teh.
On the bright side, the noodles did not taste bad at all. Together with the minced meat sauce, mashed garlic, spring onion, nori and egg - it was actually pretty good. But that's just mazesoba. Much like what they normally do. Nothing bak kut teh about it.
