Located on the first floor of Pacific Plaza, this 18-seater ramen joint is Tsuta's first international outlet outside of Japan. There are only two soup variations on the menu of the world's only Michelin-starred ramen restaurant — shio (salt) or shoyu (soy sauce). Both soup bases stem from a chicken stock boiled with vegetables, clams and seafood for additional depth — think of it as soul-warming chicken noodle soup. Go for the crowd favourite Char Siu Ajitama Shoyu Soba ($22.80) that comes with the full works — four slices of char siu, flavoured egg, bamboo shoot and leek. The Tsuta rendition gets an unexpected umami boost from the scoop of truffle pureed in truffle oil. Otherwise, shio purists will enjoy tucking into the Char Siu Ajitama Shio Soba ($22.80). It comes with the same toppings, except that the the truffle is replaced by green olives in truffle oil.
Avg Price: $25 per person

Premium Gyomuyo matcha custard with a thin layer of Croquant. Breaking into it, you'll find generous matcha custard flowing out but it's a tad too sweet for my liking. While these are good, will probably stick to my cream puffs from Dulcet & Studio instead.
Nutty stringy Gruyere cheese and classic ham slices packed within toasted brioche finish with a fried egg on top!
Price: $16++ per poké bowl
Portion is big. Have a fair mix of healthy and sinful food. Go for both! Personally enjoyed the original bowl. Friend tried pulled pork kimchi with add-on tuna. The kimchi taste was so strong, the tuna couldn't be tasted!

If you love the "King of Fruits", this Durian Softie Pie has your name on it.
The voluptuously creamy housemade Toasted Milk softserve was decked out around the base with some magical light durian pudding concoction that was a blur of pungency to me. Adding the vital crispy-crunch factor were crumbled pieces of fragrant almond pie crust and caramelised white chocolate. Gula melaka was squiggled all over, and as a final flourish, tiny golden-yellow osmanthus flowers were scattered.
The four of us who shared this, enjoyed it very much. We were pleased that it wasn't too sweet, and found it to be a unique and beautifully balanced dessert.

It is roast to a medium-rare doneness and marinated with simple aromatics, alongside with grilled corn, sautéed mushrooms, honey-glazed carrots, onsen egg and golden garlic chips. Gonna admit there's something comforting about this bowl right here. 🤔 #TheNinjaCut
Tsubu Parfait $7.80 from @hvalawafflebar, matcha softserve topped with toasted buckwheat puffs, gula Melaka sago, grilled dango and senbei. I'd suggest adding $3 more to get that addictive puffle to level up your Parfait.

The matcha deliver a smooth taste with a slight bitterness and the buckwheat puffs gave an additional crunch. On the other hand, the gula Melaka sago lost it's sweetness to the intense matcha soft serve. 🍵🍦Also tried the matcha soba flavoured soft serve, interestingly good.
