All Hail The Golden Reign of the Salted Egg Crab King by Ramen Nagi

The lines between tradition and creative expression are intentionally and deliberately blurred in yet another inventive and savory indulgent ramen creation. Meet the new Limited Edition Salted Egg Crab King by Ramen Nagi...

Ramen Nagi unleashes an indulgent duo of ramen creations for a limited time with the succulent Crab Kings topped with soft-shell crab on hearty noods and their signature Tonkotsu broth. Available only for the month of November, read on for the first bite and sip of the savory Crab Kings by Ramen Nagi...

The regular roll-out of novel and unique offerings by Ramen Nagi has been a tried and tested strategy through the years keeping the brand well ahead of the rest in a competitive category that remains popular among local diners. Continuous innovation maintains the brand's relevance while strengthening its enviable top-of-mind position in the raging ramen wars. Who can forget some of their memorable creations just this year alone like the Gyu King with Argentinian Bolzico Beef (see my post here at The Return of the Gyu King: For A Limited Time, Ramen Nagi Offers The Gyu King with Argentinian Bolzico Beef from September this year), the cheesy Mt. Cheese King (more on my previous post, Scale Flavorful Heights with the New Limited Edition Mt. Cheese King by Ramen Nagi from May this year), the intense Black Volcano King (more on Flavorful Eruptions: Meet The Limited Edition Black Volcano King by Ramen Nagi from early this year) and the rich Iekei-Style Pork Bone Ramen (see my post #RamenNagiReigns: Ramen Nagi Unveils Its Series 5 Limited King Ramen Edition with the Savory Iekei Style Pork Bone Ramen by Musashi-Ya from January this year)? 

To end the year, Ramen Nagi pulls all the stops with its decadent Crab King Limited Edition creations led by the creamy Salted Egg Crab King and the spicy Sichuan Crab King. And today seemed to be the perfect day for the indulgent Salted Egg Crab King (P 750) with its lusciously rich and succulent combo of salted egg and soft shell crab. 

Imagine the unrestrained briny sweetness and fresh, clean flavors of soft shell crab coated in savory salted egg sauce with silky smooth tzatziki along with a secret blend of spices and aromatics infused in the signature tonkotsu broth and you get the picture. The broth alone with its bright golden hues from the salted egg sauce is a stunning visual representation of the golden reign of the Salted Egg Crab King. 

The thick and rich consistency of the broth drapes the palate with a lingering richness, setting the tone for the layers of complex flavors from Ramen Nagi's latest offering. It's unapologetically rich, and Ramen Nagi doesn't hold back on the flavors. The fresh fiery chilies cuts through the richness of the salted egg broth for delicately balanced flavors followed by a rich medley of spices and aromatics. Probably one of the most indulgent seafood-based ramen variants from Ramen Nagi yet, the Salted Egg Crab King's short reign triggers an urgency to visit your nearest Ramen Nagi location. 

Then, the crisp, juicy and succulent soft shell crab with its contrasting textures brings its lavish flavors into play for flavorful bursts of fresh and clean notes finished by a bold briny sweetness. It's the distinctive flavors from the crab in its purest form that really sets this latest ramen creation from the usual offering. 

The legs and claws with its lightly crisp batter brings loads of bold notes complemented by the equally rich salted egg broth elegantly smoothened by the luscious tzatziki for an indulgent finish. The soft yet firm noodles and chilies complete the masterful medley of richness with each sip and bite. 

It may not be your traditional ramen in the strictest sense, but the inventive weave of flavors places this Salted Egg Crab King in a class all its own. For ramen purists, it may be time to change up your game with the innovative creations of Ramen Nagi like the Salted Egg Crab King. 

But better hurry. The new Salted Egg Crab King and Sichuan Crab King are only available for the month of November. Don't add to your list of "what ifs" and grab your bowl of one of the most decadent spins on a classic by Ramen Nagi. 

With so many options for ramen in the metro, the delicate balance between tradition and inspired creative innovation continues to narrow in the raging ramen wars. And that's a good thing as we broaden our palate with new expressions, thanks to Ramen Nagi. Salted Egg Crab King or Sichuan Crab King? Grab your fresh catch at Ramen Nagi...
