Fusion Food
If you are missing the usual Thailand wonton mee fix, you can get it now right at the Bugis downtown line exit's tan quee lan street. Pretty pricey bowl of noodles, but it was guaranteed to be of quality. It is a little saltier than those found in Bangkok but their noodles were so much better!
Might seem very underwhelming to most, but this poke is one of the best I have tried in Singapore. At the end of the day, freshness of the fish is the key. Absolutely great find at the 100am mall near the Keppel towers. A must try if you are in the area before 530pm!
Back again for their miso soba! Deeply surprised by their small spoon of chili as it made the miso broth a little spicy. The flat noodles were the highlight of the dish, this time I added more portions of their ever so tasty bamboo shoots and zero regrets. Honestly, one char siew was pretty enough for me but after this try of the miso broth, I still prefer my Tsuta Shoyu Truffle! Can't wait to go Japan one day to eat the "real" ramen !
As I was quite tired of tonkotsu ramen recently, I began the search for alternative ramen choices. Here I found a newly opened stall at China Square Nan Kin Way (I think?). I took some time to find the location of the place due to the renovations in the area, but to my surprise it's just behind the bus stop opposite Hong Lim food centre... anyways I tried re Shoyu one and my friend ordered the Shio version. Mine tasted really like a fusion between prawn mee soup, bak chor with egg and ramen noodles while the Shio version tasted more like hokkien mee broth! It was a refreshing taste from the start but it gets really salty at the end due to the rich shrimp flavors it had. Their tempura was really good (in my Singaporean standards). The place is pretty small maybe fit around 30+ people? But it was surely a great find and I have a feeling it's gonna be really crowded soon with such a unique taste for a ramen place! *service was really ups there, every 3 minutes they refill my tea to make sure it's hot!
Always heard the hype about this 1 Michelin ramen and upon hearing the news that they opened a new branch at Tai Seng, I immediately took a free Uber ride down to eat with my brother. The queue was short and fast, although their ordering system's UI needs to be improved, no one puts their buttons background color same as the background and it was a pain ordering without the staff's assistance. Nevertheless, the ramen was really unique and different from all the other ramen I have ate. People complained that the ramen broth was too salty but I ordered the original version and I am glad that I did so. The broth actually went well with truffle in my opinion and it is so different from the usual ramen spots that I had zero regrets queuing for it. I can understand why people complain because they were "expecting" a ramen. But this is actually a "soba" place, the meat tasted half like ham half like char siew, their bamboo shoots were like the best I haven ever eaten?! It's egg was decent and not the runny kind but it was not as bad as what people described. Aside from the priciness(but still worth it) I will recommend just getting one or two slices of meat because each slice was really too big. All in all I will be back to try out their other types if another occasion arises! Yumz!
I woke up one day in PGP and opened the Burpple app to realize that there was a newly opened Ramen place near the hostel?! Without further deliberation I made my way down, forcing myself against the strong sunlight and made my 10 minutes walk to the Ascent building. Despite only having a small crowd I ended up waiting for 15 to 20 minutes for this French influenced ramen. Upon discovering the spicy option I made my choice without hesitation. The tomato broth was so freaking delicious, chili was good but not spicy enough but then again you don't need it to be so spicy. The egg was perfect, haven't ate such a well cooked egg for a long time. The pork actually reminds me of the soft tender meat I had back in America, others might not find it nice but I found it so reminiscing that I savored every bite. I am certainly going back one day to try out their squid ink ramen! Hope this place lasts! ($13) no other charges applied. Much thanks to Xing Wei for discovering this place!
A fusion dish of western and korean. Seafood was remarkably fresh and although the taste was delectable, it might be a little weird for some to have this korean spicy taste in a cheesy risotto!
My favorite dish of the night! Chicken with cheesy broth stored inside a puff pastry just makes it both unique and special. It has this unique taste to it that I cannot describe, one must try it to understand its taste!
Boiled pork belly with kimchi and spicy radish salad. Although the boiled pork belly was decent, having the roasted pork before this dish has made this dish relatively plain.
Hungarian pork was flown in for quality assurance by the korean chef makes every bite of the fatty pork belly worth it! When ate with the special sauce and the vegetable assortments, the juices you taste with every bite is just so palatable!
Minced US prime rib steak. It has straightforward taste of a steak but much easier to munch on!
House-made unique kimchi with mangalitsa pork belly, tofu, onion and scallion. This dish is one of my favorites with their kimchi and pork belly going so well together. It can get a little spicy so not recommended for people who cannot take spicy food. The tofu and spam when eaten together! gives two different textures in one bite!
