Welcome to North East, Singapore. Looking for Ramen places?

Excite your taste buds with this irresistible spicy broth, concocted by blending chilli paste with their signature Tonkotsu and topped with spicy minced pork. This ramen is sure to pack a punch along with cha shu, onsen egg and bamboo shoot 》$16.50

This dish presents thin, firm Hosomen ramen in a double-boiled soup comprising signature Tonkotsu and premium bonito, which adds a savoury depth to the umami broth. Each bowl is crowned with unctuous slices of Toroniku (seared pork cheek), onsen egg, bamboo shoot and seaweed 》$16.50

Tom yum broth is abit bland, the tonkotsu may be richer. Noodle texture is chewy, scallops don’t absorb the spiced flavours.

2 mains, 1 side, 2 drinks & 2 ice cream, totalled to almost $50 after tax🥵 but we were STUFFED. tendon was really crispy and the signature sauce went so well with the rice!! i opted for spicy but it's just the sauce + chilli powder HAHA. fried squid was also tasty

Chicken and vegetable-filled dumplings with soy vinegar dipping sauce. The gyoza is not the crispy type. It comes lightly charred at the bottom with soft and chewy skin 》$6.90

This is similar to the chicken cha shu spicy ramen except it's in a tom yum base sans the spicy ground chicken. The tom yum chicken broth comes with a tinge of sweet and sour flavour but I felt the tom yum flavour was mild and not spicy enough. The egg in this bowl was also overcooked and missing the gooey/lava yolk 》$11.90

Tokyo Shokudo is a Halal-certified Japanese restaurant serving ramen and tendon. The chicken cha shu spicy ramen includes two slices of chicken cha shu, black fungus, whole ajitama and spicy ground chicken. The broth is very similar to tonkotsu - collagenous, rich and not too oily. The cha shu is succulent but the egg was a little overcooked 》$12.90

Prices are nett here. Chicken broth was used. Although it is less oily, it is not as flavourful as tonkotsu broth. The ramen tasted like ke kou mian. The rest of the ingredients are nice. Generous portion of black fungus. The char siu was lightly torched and is tender. The ramen egg was also on point. For the price point, i would say the ramen is ok but don't come to purposely try it.

soup was not too salty, light but flavourful. noodles were cooked well 🙂 paid $7.50 for 2 bowls which was quite worth. was told by staff that the shoyu ajitama cannot be ordered from the machine, but that ramen consisted of only corn, egg and bean sprouts...
note that the restaurant is really small and squeezy, and you have to order first before you get your seats.

We decided to try them yet I ended up trying a fusion ramen. This is from their Singapore menu and I always chuckle when Takagi associates itself with anything Singapore. I don't know why the broth is separate, because the noodles were too dry on their own. I ended up adding the broth, which was damn weird mixed with the salted egg sauce. The crab is a soft-shell crab. I don't wanna be too harsh but their ramen failed for me because the noodle was tougher than when you order hard ramen. And I verified it because my kaedama portion was equally hard.

It is interesting to find a 24 hours operating ramen shop at where I’m staying in Ang Mo Kio, considering this neighbourhood a little walk away from AMK Central.

While I’m not sure whether there’s really people coming past midnight for supper, but it is definitely a cosy and air-conditioned space to enjoy a bowl of warm ramen.

Although it is so near to my house, i only found a good time to visit today to grab my lunch.

You need to make your order at the self-service kiosk that located outside the shop, before you proceed to your seat inside and wait for your order number to be called.

I went for something unusual, choosing the duck meat ramen this time. The duck meat is tender, soup is tasty, springy noodle and egg. A comforting meal I would say.
