As one of the most bustling foodie haunts in Singapore, Chinatown is home to an array of exciting cafes, bakeries, dessert shops, and of course, ramen joints.
If unique yet affordable ramen offerings are what you seek, Mr Ramen is the stall you need to visit.
Located just a three-minute walk from Maxwell MRT station within the vibrant K88 Kopitiam along Banda Street, Mr Ramen specialises in unique fusion-style ramen that takes inspiration from Japanese and Korean cuisine.
Although you can find classics like Tonkotsu Ramen (S$7.90) and Miso Ramen (S$7.90), most diners go for the signature Truffle Ramen (S$11.90), comprising springy noodles in a translucent broth with cha siu, bamboo shoots, chives, and a gooey ramen egg.
Don’t expect the aroma to be faint or underwhelming — each bowl is finished off with a drizzle of truffle oil and a dollop of concentrated truffle paste.
Fans of spicy foods can go for Mr Ramen’s signature, the locally-inspired Spicy Laksa Ramen (S$7.90). It features a rich, slurp-worthy laksa gravy that’s thicker than usual, with the distinct fragrance of coconut milk.
Bring tissues, because the spice certainly does pack a punch (you will probably start sweating)!
Ramen aside, you can also find hearty and pocket-friendly rice bowls like the Katsu Pork Cutlet Rice Bowl (S$9.90) and Grill Salmon Rice Bowl (S$10.90), alongside sides like Karaage Chicken (S$3.90), Gyoza (S$3.90), and even Yakitori Pork Belly (S$3.90).
However, we recommend sticking to the ramen for the best dining experience — it’s what the stall excels in, after all.
Craving for an affordable bowl of ramen under S$12 that’s not the usual tonkotsu, shoyu, or miso? Head on down to Mr Ramen in Chinatown and get your fix today!
