Hidden gem in Alexandra Central.

The texture of the soba was on point, but the broth was the highlight. Every slurp was light and clean in flavour, with a subtle smokiness that brings this solid bowl of noodles together. The consistency of the broth reminds me of consommé. It’s not the usual tonkotsu soup base Singaporeans are used to, but it’s good stuff.

Love the moist duck chashu. Even the bamboo shoots are enjoyable. Add on the soy ramen egg for $2. Don’t forget their scallion pancakes ($5.80) as the sides. The crispy, vinegary, and century egg combo somehow work wonders for the palate.

A great place for a quick ramen fix. Best eaten with a cup of osmanthus oolong tea or chilled beer. Skip the IKEA meatballs after shopping for furniture and come here instead.
