Seeing is believing. Unlike times where Little India is not accessible by Little India mrt station; City Hall mrt leading to Esplanade(and vice versa!), most of the times they fall into place logically.

Goodness gracious for Black Ramen. Foods, with an implication on the body, it is the restaurant's duty to make clear on its stance: Halal, organic; no gluten, no buckwheat. And to hold on to their words. So that no allergens/religious reactions will occur.
Earthenwares in black. The oblong blocks stuck out like eyebrows; to catch any debrises/aqua forming above, to add expressions to the face of the wall.
Black Ramen's eating implements all in black. Upon that is the 味; japanese kanji for flavour, or experience. Black 'invisibles' the hand implements so you can concentrate on the foods..jpg)
Just that ironically, it is black food here. And yes, Black Ramen do sell black ramen. Just in case you are allergic to it. Also, as indicative signposts for the conscious consumers (you will be informed of half baked in Ben & Jerry's not being microwaved and roasty, but chocolate chip cookie dough and fudge brownie added into ice cream).

Cha Shu Ramen (Karai) (SGD 8.80)
Black Ramen. Still; rather inconclusive as ramen is a dish(just like Promenade MRT station being the Singapore Flyer, PARCO Marina Bay, or Milenia Walk; counting Suntec City and Marina Square even), it is not the soup base or pork(kurobuta black hog meat); but squid ink-infused noodles black. Karai(spicy soup base) and squid ink noodles, both requiring a select taste for them to be ordered; them together in a bowl is an erratic permutation, hence the terrific sight of grey noodles blanched in creamy orange formula.

Sake Teriyaki Ramen (Shoyu) (SGD 9.50)
The makings of a japanese; food technology pink cherry blossom kit-kat, orange yubari melon kit-kat, green tea kit-kat, blue ramune kit-kat. A world of sights inside their foods, whilst on a basic mould; protein here. Fried beef, smoked duck, pork belly, chicken teriyaki. All with black noodles. And on the select choice; the{only} sea-borne-salmon teriyaki, spelling orange-fleshed, black-skinned cuts submersed in prime grey noodles.

Look at the egg. Gelatinous, you feel like a cannibal carnivore. Seventh-heaven! Like most squid ink noodles, they are 'spaced out' in taste. Which depends on their sides and soup. Soy-based(shoyu) here, it was light but more of watered-down; the Cha Su (karai) fared better with stimulating karai.
Noodles; the pronounced version of the rice- gray is protracted into black. Collective; like slowcook, it is relished more than a bun of bread/pizza, with chopsticks.
P.S. Still, it pays for Acadiaa at the basement of the foodcourt.
