Keisuke Takeda is really spoiling us with his slew of ramen shops across the island, with the opening of Keisuke Lobster King giving us a thick, rich, and creamy broth. We headed down for a tasting a week before opening, and found it strategically placed on the first floor of Cineleisure. This time, we ordered the … Continued
