Flawless. Even better than some restaurants. This is expert charcoal grilling hidden in a hawker centre. The custom sauce further makes it interesting. But note that you pay for the quality. Prices here are comparable to restaurants.

travelled all the way to the east to try this ramen shop. limited seating in store, we arrived slightly before 6pm and was lucky to snag a seat. ordering and payment is via a machine located outside the shop and once you’ve ordered, you’ll have a number and the staff will call you in

there were 2 diff types of char siew, one seem to be charred and the other was layed around the bowl. the broth was rather flavourful and thick. even the noodles were different for the 2 bowls. pricing was around $15 - $17 each as i opted for more slices of meat and an additional egg since one of the ramen did not come with an egg

Peak hour on a weekend especially in the weekend does not guarantee you’ll try their famous beef bowls. So I went for their pork cheek bowl which was so amazingly melt in your mouth tender. 5 stars for the texture, but I thought overall the flavour was a bit bland despite the slight smokiness. Still, a pretty nice meal to have with the atmosphere at Bedok marketplace.

Finally visited this recently famous ramen restaurant, @ramenya0103 that really makes you feel like you're in Japan! With just 8 seats in a tight space, expect long queues and waiting times. I queued for 1.5 hours at about 7.30pm on a weekday afternoon 🫠

I got the Tonkotsu Ramen Black ($12.80) which I felt was quite affordable with quite a few pieces of char siu. The main star of the show got to be the broth, as it was extremely thick (almost like a sauce) and it had so much umami flavours while not being too salty. We all agreed that we can definitely drink alot of the soup! Love that the garlic oil added extra umami as well. The noodles were alright, quite al dente. Char Siu was very tender and flavourful!

Definitely a great bowl of ramen, but really does not warrant the 1.5 hour wait. 30 minutes is the maximum I will wait for this!

Their Special Shio Ramen is well-balanced - flavourful yet clean with a nuanced saltiness that doesn't overwhelm your tastebuds or leave you thirsty. It goes really well with their toothsome noodles, and I cleared the entire bowl without realising it. 😅 More importantly, these thick char siu slices adorning the bowl be BUSSIN' HARD! Every slice is not overly fatty and takes on a soft, melt-in-the-mouth consistency, with the rich meaty flavours intensified by a smoky caramelisation from the blowtorch. It's so SHIO-k that I wouldn't mind dropping by for a 2nd bowl despite being a Westie! 🍜

Signature Char Grilled Pork Cheek (100g)

The Meats here at Burning Oak are Charcoal Grilled. And both rice bowls I had here were really good. Can taste the smokiness of the meats.

The beef striploin was tender and perfectly medium rare.

The pork Cheek was tender and fatty. This was so good, I da pao another back for supper.

Portion not very filling for me. But there's plenty of other foods here at bedok marketplace to fill u up.

3 choices of sauces to choose from for every rice bowl u order

- XO yakiniku
- Creamy Dashi Garlic
- Spicy Miso

If like me, u can't decide which sauce, the menu will guide u which sauce is suitable for which meats.

Charredlicious meat over a bed of steaming pearl rice, adorned with furikake, cherry tomatoes, onsen egg, spring onions, and drizzled with creamy dashi garlic sauce for extra flavouring. The beef, was cooked to medium rare as requested, and was elegantly soy glazed. The pork cheek was both firm and tender, and each meat serving was about 60g.
While it may lean slightly towards the expensive side, the quality and presentation undoubtedly justify the price.

Went to The Burning Oak and ordered their Wagyu Beef Bowl ($15)!😇 I think this is not bad but have tried others such as Waacow which im a bigger fan of😅

Overall ratings 7/10! I think its pretty affordable so worth a try if ure near the area😇

Hearty generous rice bowls! Super value for money.

Bedok marketplace is honestly quite a nice place to chill without burning a hole in your wallet!

I always take the chance and order Garlic Fried Rice in Japanese Restaurants because more often than not, it’s a so simple dish yet wonderfully executed by the chef. With this being one of the relatively affordable items on the menu, the garlic fried rice lived up to expectations — with every grain of rice fluffy, fragrant, and fresh. If you want to jazz up your meal here but not stick with the classic Japanese white rice, this is the way to go.
