Misocool Ramen

One Island East is a new commercial tower which from an architectural point of view looks pretty nice. Right opposite to this tower you can find a recently opened ramen shop, and inside there are some pretty fine Japanese ramen and hot snacks. The location of this place is not easy to find at first (that tower isn't easy to reach either), but you can see it being full for most of the time until the clock strikes at 10 or something.

I ordered a seafood ramen 海鮮拉麵, while my friend got a nice traditional ramen with roasted pork in Japanese style 叉燒拉麵.

And very surprisingly, in this modern restaurant you can really find traditional ramen, and they were very nice. Of course, you cannot compare them with those from Japan, but at least this is quite similar, and much better than the ramen from chain restaurants in areas like Mongkok or TST. You can taste the egg in the ramen while the soup was very tasty. At least, you didn't taste the GSM nor would you get thristy after drinking the soup.

We also tried two typical small dishes, the deep-fried chicken cartilage and smoke-grilled eel. Both are very delicious and you know that they are really made when you ordered them, not from the fridge and then the microwave oven.

And it looks like it was not much but we were actually very full. The services were very good too and the waiters were nice. I like the place as everything was clean, and those tables were huge. It took a while for the food to come, but I suggest you slowing down, and have a taste of the high-quality Japanese food. It may not be something like crazily extraordinary, but definitely better than many of the Japanese restaurants out there.
