Ichikokudo Hokkaido Ramen | Singapore
Embark on a delightful culinary journey at Ichikokudo Hokkaido Ramen, where their ORIGINAL and Sapporo Butter Miso Ramen promise are flavourful renditions of classic ramen dishes.

The Shoyu base in the soup also introduces a refreshing twist to the traditional Hokkaido ramen.
In the Sapporo Butter Miso Ramen, Ichikokudo continues to impress with the tenderness and delightful aroma of the Chicken Chashu. The chicken variation provides a unique and enjoyable twist compared to the more common porky variations. For those thats look for something more creamy, you can also add butter into the broth.
While there are still aspects that could be refined for an even more satisfying experience, the innovative twists, especially with the Chicken Chashu variations, bring a fresh perspective to the ramen landscape in Singapore.
Tokyo Shokudo | Singapore
Chef Akimitsu Tanihara, the mastermind behind the renowned Shitamachi Tendon Akimitsu, has expanded his culinary prowess with a halal chain. Unlike its tonkotsu ramen-serving counterpart, this venture focuses on chicken-based ramen, a refreshing departure from the traditional pork-laden options.
From unique creations like the Duck Ramen, that’s not only visually appealing, boast a rich broth. The collagen-rich chicken base, thick as classic tonkotsu, brings savory goodness with subtle sweetness and a hint of earthy gaminess from the duck. The duck chashu, marinated and grilled, offers a balanced aburi taste.
Moving on to something more mainstream, the Chicken Drumstick Ramen sans duck’s earthiness, maintains a medium richness, delightful for those with lighter palates. The drumstick, marinated and aburi-grilled, impresses with a savory, smoky taste. Toppings like sesame seeds and fried shallots work harmoniously, adding layers of flavor to the overall ramen experience
Woke Ramen | Singapore
Recently gaining attention is Woke Ramen, making its mark with a distinctive name and an unconventional ‘wok hey’ approach to the traditional Japanese dish. In their Chicken Chashu Collagen Ramen, the medium-thick, wavy noodles undergo a unique process of double cooking—boiled first and then stir-fried in a wok for that unmistakable wok hey flavor. The broth, a pork- and lard-free rich chicken base, boasts a slightly sweet foundation and savory undertones, skillfully managing greasiness. The chicken chashu showcases soft and tender skin reminiscent of Chinese Drunken Chicken.
In their Prawn Paste Ramen, the same cooking style is used for the ‘wok hey’. The prawn-based broth, will be a delight for those that love their prawn. It resembles the classic Singaporean Prawn Noodle Soup but with a creamy fusion.
