I loved the skinny noodles either way, and it was much better than that tsukemen that I had last time.

阿夫利 Afuri ramen + dumpling in Funan Mall is worth a visit whether you want to try their famed yuzu ramen or you want a simple casual Japanese meal. Their traditional tonkotsu ramen and cha shu don are enjoyable.
Kanada-ya’s award-winning, flavourful pork bone broth is first boiled for 18-hours, making it rich and creamy before mixing in a secret sauce to add flavour and umami to the broth.
Kanada-Ya specialized in the authentic Tonkotsu ramen, the award-wining, rich and flavouful pork bone broth boiled for 18 hours before mixing in a secret sauce to add flavour and umami to the broth.
This is a satisfactory meal. The ramen is good. Not my top 5 favourite ramen shops in Singapore. But good enough to sate any ramen cravings.
Overall, the Chinese la mien noodles absorbed the flavourful Japanese shrimp broth well and every spoonful was an umami explosion.
Le Shrimp Ramen Paragon is a new restaurant by the Paradise Group that opened at the basement of the Paragon Orchard shopping mall recently.
This Chinese ramen place is up and coming, prices are definitely on the higher side and for me, the other concepts under Paradise Group appeals more.
I finally got around to trying the shio ramen from Nakiryu. It featured skinny noodles, firm wontons, and a clean broth, but I'm not going to bother with it again. In my opinion, the only thing worth getting here is the tantanmen that they are known for, as the rest of the items just aren't that interesting, even if they are passable. Granted, I haven't tried those miso exclusives down at their new VivoCity outlet yet, but I'm not expecting much from those either.
The famous Michelin star tan tan ramen, peanutty but somewhat flat and one dimensional in terms of flavour.
There was no line at Nakiryu when I arrived tonight, so I figured that I might as well take advantage of it to try one of their other bowls, like their shoyu above.
The oyster paitan ramen became overly rich for me after a while; you could really taste the oyster paste and oyster oil though.
Meidi-Ya finally opened its new outlet at Great World City, and it came with a Dosanko Plaza food court that includes not just BENTOSS, but also a ramen stall called Nishiyama (1 Kim Seng Promenade #B2-120, 6771-1111). To be clear, Nishiyama is actually a noodle supplier (in fact, they supply Miharu, of all places). But somehow at this stall, they decided to branch out and provide everything else in the bowl too.
Overall, the oyster ramen at Konjiki Hototogisu Ramen is definitely special and unique.
I had a hard time finishing the broth given how porky tasting it was. Nonetheless, it's really a steal for S$7.90 and should the ramen craving strike again, i would likely go with the chef recommended tonkotsu gyokai ramen which is a mix of fish and pork broth.
Suparakki Ramen is cheap and accessible.
Though the seating area may get a bit cramped, we definitely wouldn’t mind coming back for such affordable and delectable ramen bowls.
Their inclusive menu also includes a Veggie Dashi Ramen ($14.80++), which features wholegrain noodles in a dashi broth that’s made umami with porcini and shiitake mushrooms, and kelp.
I don't think I'd get it again though if it were to make a permanent appearance on the menu.
IPPUDO Singapore has taken its "Tsukemen Japan" special and jazzed it up with a mala version above.
Ippudo had this on its menu today, featuring a thick blend of squid ink, miso, and spices to form this dark-looking bowl. It basically tasted like Japanese curry; to be honest, I wouldn't have even known that there was squid ink in there if I hadn't seen it. But it definitely gave it a distinct appearance. They provided a bib given the splatter risk.
WOKE Ramen has opened in Changi Airport Terminal 1. The noodles are stir-fried in seasoned woks to achieve a smoke-kissed wok hei!
The name of this place (80 Airport Boulevard #03-19) isn't trying to make a political statement, but instead is referring to the wok hei flavor in the broth.
The Place Located at the viewing mall of Changi Airport Terminal One beside Penang Culture, Woke Ramen is a new casual Japanese ramen restaurant by GD Group Restaurants (also behind Penang Culture)…
Tried their "muscular" looking tori karaage. Liked it.
Menya Kokoro is currently featuring a bunch of best sellers from their shops all over where they have shops.
I enjoyed it. Nice, firm and refreshing noodles with textures from vegetables and tenkasu.
There's a big pork mazesoba on the menu. It's not bad.
Menya Kokoro New Items are in generous portion. Surely to satisfy hunger dinners’ stomach.
The Bonito Chashu Ramen was a bit too light and subtle for me, without any flavours jumping out. Will probably have to get the Tonkotsu next time out.
En Ramen serving tasty and pocket friendly ramen in the neighbourhood
I finally made it out to Yi Zun tonight (60 Joo Chiat Road #01-08, 6909-9287), and it was much better than Salar.
The only thing that I didn't like about this bowl was the beef, which was too lean and dry, especially compared to Xibu Mahua. But I'm more than happy to eat here again.
I rate the beef noodle as OK. I won’t mind coming back to try their other noodle dishes.
I'm not sure how long Keisuke has had this on his Tori King menu, but I came in to try it today out of curiosity, and was disappointed.
he "hard" option for noodles wasn't very hard and I'm no longer infatuated with the chopstick tender chicken thigh.
Ramen Lovers, Rejoice! 🍜🎉 Try their signature Tonkotsu Ramen – a rich, creamy broth infused with savory goodness, topped with an array of delectable toppings to tantalize your taste buds.
The black sauce was decently smoky and spicy, and the egg was pleasantly savory. The food here is a little better than its plasticky outward appearance suggests.
This ramen shop didn't look very promising from the outside (101 Thomson Road #B1-04, 6015-0363), so I figured that it wouldn't be any good.
All the noodles were below the rim so the protruding pile were mostly bean sprouts if anyone was wondering.
I like the tori paitan.
The only difference I could discern was that this regular Megamen bowl had more broth and the dry bowl has nori and ajitama.
It was crisp and savory, and with the added bonus of tender yet tasty slices of Miyazaki wagyu. The gyoza were decent too. But I won't come back for this, nor do I have much desire to try their tonkotsu.
Kiwami didn’t disappoint. The fledgeling restaurant impressed me with the variety of high quality yet perfectly affordable dishes.
I tried their amaebi mazemen. Didn't enjoy it.
Quality and standard of food is there. One good note is that they pride themselves with that No MSG was used
Overall, the tonkotsu broth, thick noodle and chicken karaage are the three ingredients that you must not miss here.
All in all, I’m rejoicing that Ramen Nagi has another outlet, as this might mean shorter queues!
In summary, food is always based on personal preferences; maybe some of you would prefer this no-MSG ramen but in my case, i think once is enough.
I enjoyed this bowl except for one thing: the simmered tofu on the left. They should provide a non-vegetarian option by allowing one to substitute the tofu for chashu. They also have that salmon bowl here; maybe I'll come back to save me the trip of going all the way out to Jewel.
