Green Tea and Black Sesame Ice Cream!

I had the black sesame ice cream - the one on the left and Fish had the green tea ice cream on the right. It was divine! Very very nice to eat. The picture was taken after i've almost finished half of it. It wasn't an enormous scoop but enough to end my meal. For a scoop, the black sesame is $2.50 and the green tea is $2.90. Fish said that the green tea ice cream is much better than the one at Bugis - Uzumaki. It has distinct green tea taste and a subtle maple syrupy taste. I don't like green tea but i tried it and it was good. The black sesame is flavourful and very authentic.

We found this small treasure at a small ramen shop in Century Mall in Tampines. It is called Uma Uma Men and they sell Ramen, Don, Tenshi and Sushi.

We had ramen and i felt it didn't taste too bad. I found it a little salty, but Fish said it was ok. He prefers this place more as compared to Ajisan. He also said that the pork katsu with cheese was very good, but on the day we went, it was sold out. So we had stir fried beef with onion which we felt that the meat could be a little tenderer and the price was a little steep, around $8.90 for a small plate. We also had Vegetable tempura, which was ok by my standards and it was the only way i could get myself to eat vegetables. HaHa..

A unique thing on the menu is that they have mini sets. From what i remember, it is around 3 different types of noodles - mini sized for those that cannot make up their mind, with side dishes. I think around $12+.

I had the corn butter ramen - went their around 4pm and they had an offer - so mine costed around $4.50 only. Fish had char siew ramen if I’m not wrong and this came with half an egg. He loves the egg as it is cooked in the sauce they use to braise the char siew and the egg yolk and watery and has the flavour of the soup. He even asked for an extra half an egg for $0.50. You could ask for extra stuffs and this would cost differently. If i didn't remember wrongly, extra char siew is $2.50 and extra corn is $0.50 - there's still others, but i don't remember them already.

The place is small and the kitchen can be seen. Because of the fact that the shop is in a corner of the Basement 1 floor, the amount of people in the shop is not a lot. - Relatively empty.

Overall, we would go back there again for the food especially the ice cream which was wonderful and satisfying!

They have another branch at the Capitol Building near City Hall MRT Station. They are open daily from 11.30am till 10.30pm. Last order is at 10pm.

Hope to see you there one day - if not for anything else, but their ice cream!
