1. Hanamaruken Ramen Singapore
The newest ramen spot to grace these shores hails from Osaka, where it has gained a cult following. Hanamaruken Ramen, which dropped anchor at the Lazada One building earlier in August, specialises in high quality pork, which is evident in both the soft-bone pork rib and the rich tonkotsu broth. You’ll find these in the “Signature Happiness Ramen”, complete with thin, springy noodles that deliver a pleasant bite. If not, you’ll find many other options such as shio (salt), shoyu (soy sauce), and even dan dan ramen, the Japanese version of the traditional Sichuan noodle dish.
