With upmarket noodle soups all the rage, I hit up Salaryman for their Pork & Pippie Ramen ($15/$18). The defining flavour of this broth was fat, over the more usual pork bones. Pork chashu was tender and generously applied; house-made wheat noodles were slippery with good bite; and the scattered char-grilled pipis were perfectly cooked. Blow-torched Honey Bug Meat ($15/2) served nigiri style on crisp sheets of nori were creamy and delicious, particularly matched to an elegant Amanato Junmai Gingo ($17/100ml).

The first time I went, it quite literally blew my mind. One of my favourite Japanese restaurants. Admittedly I do find that it's Japanese fusion rather than traditional but either way, it's down right amazing.
Everything that I've had from the menu has been delicious beyond my expectations. The liver parfait is definitely one of my favourites and the sashimi tuna is probably the best I've had. They also have amazing rib-rack bao that comes deconstructed.
