Alright, time to explore the hidden gems of our heartlands! Let’s kick things off with Buta Kin, nestled in Beauty World Food Centre – a popular hawker ramen joint that’s often talked about. Sure, the prices might be a tad higher than your regular hawker fare, but trust me, it’s still cheaper than those big chains.

The soup features a rich and foamy layer, a classic Tonkotsu trademark that signifies emulsified fats. Yet, it tilts heavily towards a strong porkiness, with a rich and meaty initial taste, followed by a pronounced porky flavor, and a subtle lingering Shoyu note. Although the menu mentions chicken oil, its presence wasn’t quite noticeable.

The soup is rich and cloudy – imagine the collagen in there. What’s special about the green spicy version is the green paste on the drumstick – wasabi. The kick hits you right at the start, follow by a mellow sweetness of the chicken broth and a lingering savoury aftertaste. But like I mentioned earlier, the kansui taste from the noodles affects the soup and it gets more prominent as you reach the end of your meal.

This is I guess the Michelin star comes from. Having eaten so many types of ramen in Singapore and Japan, I must say it’s a really complex broth. It’s sweet, savoury and with a tinge of sourness towards the end (almost like there’s mustard?) – not in a bad way. There’s this familiar fragrance in it – can’t figure whether it’s dates or goji berry – but in short it’s an impressive broth even to someone who isn’t a fan of Shoyu ramen.
