Jap Food

Hailing from Fukuoka, Japan, Ramen Nagi is no stranger to ramen fans. It’s Green King, a clever mix of basil and parmesan cheese, did not disappoint. The broth was rich and creamy and the noodles were cooked to perfection. I like how almost the entire bowl is customizable - from the firmness of the noodle to the saltiness and spiciness of the broth, to even the cut of pork (shoulder or belly). Ramen Nagi is definitely a must-go to get your ramen fix!

A hidden gem in the Tanjong Pagar area that is saturated with food choices, Shukuu Izakaya is definitely worth a visit. Stepping into the restaurant transports you to Japan, with carefully curated furniture and décor to create the ambience. The food served does not disappoint, either. I would highly recommend the sashimi-grade scallop that was seared to perfection. Another favourite was the Aburi Shimesaba – marinated in vinegar, the saba did not have even the slightest ‘fishy’ taste that one would expect. It was tender and easy on the palate, a must-try for all seafood lovers!
