The best ramen in Singapore
Takagi Ramen boasts an appealing brand story – Ramen made for the everyday Singaporean. Absolutely spot on! Who says delicious ramen has to come with a hefty price tag? Hardworking Singaporeans deserve to enjoy a satisfying bowl of ramen as well. Since most of their outlets are quite far from our location, we opted to visit the one that appeared busiest… Ang Mo Kio!

Although the broth may appear slightly watery, its taste reassures you that it’s a rich and flavorful bowl. It carries a savory and mildly spicy profile with hints of sesame and garlic. While the squid ink flavor doesn’t stand out, it adds an extra umami layer. Overall, it’s a pretty good broth.

Ramen made with chicken stock as the base tends to have a lighter flavor, resembling the taste of familiar chicken-flavored instant noodles. Fortunately, that’s not the case here. Despite its lighter profile compared to other types of ramen, it still maintains a satisfying richness. It’s easy to understand why this place is popular; the ramen pairs well with drinks. However, what’s even better is their Mazesoba. I wasn’t a fan when I tried it years ago, but I’m glad to have discovered a newfound love for it here.

The chicken-based broth in the soup is rich, but there is a pronounced “chickeness” in the aftertaste that may not appeal to everyone. The broth lacks a bit more complexity and layers of flavor, making it somewhat flat in taste.

Their specialty caught my attention – a salt-based Tonkotsu broth, and it seems the crowd favorite is their Shoyu variant.

I must say, perusing Torasho’s menu was a delightful experience, filled with amusingly proud names like “Singapore Best” and hilariously honest ones like “Cold Stupid Ramen.” Clearly, the owners possess a fantastic sense of humor. In case you’re not aware, Tsukemen is a unique style of dipping noodles that are served cold and dry. Despite any initial reservations, the combination of cold and hot elements, paired with an intensely savory dipping soup, creates a remarkable texture and flavor profile that sets it apart from the more traditional soup-based ramen options.

Miharu Ramen, a well-established presence in Singapore, has been delighting customers for many years. It was only during my recent visit to their Meidi-ya Millenia Walk location that I discovered this hidden gem. I learned from the friendly staff that Miharu Ramen has a rich history, having previously operated at Great World City and garnering a strong following in that area. What’s more, the current chef proudly represents the second generation, carrying on the tradition of excellence.
