Fukuoka ultimate ramen chain, Kanada-Ya, with snaking queues in both London and Japan is set to officially launch in Singapore in mid-December, with its first outlet at Paya Lebar Quarter Mall. The outpost in Singapore marks Kanada-Ya’s 13th outlet worldwide. Specialising in the classic Tonkotsu ramen, the award-winning, rich and flavourful pork bone broth is first boiled for 18-hours, making it rich and creamy before mixing in a secret sauce to add flavour and umami to the broth. It is handmade by Mr. Kanada, the founder himself, and imported directly from the original restaurant in Japan.
Kanada-Ya will be offering its mouth-watering ramen and popular side dishes at the Singapore outlet. Tuck into perfect al dante wheat noodles, specially made using a specific type of flour, enriched with an exact protein content and alkaline salts for a firm yet springy texture that is the ideal pairing with Kanada-Ya’s rich broth.
Tantalise your taste buds with the heady scent of the aromatic Truffle Ramen from black truffle oil and truffle jelly made with black truffle paste for a slurping good time, only available in limited quantities daily. No visit to Kanada-Ya is complete without sampling the famous Chashu Tonkotsu Ramen in all its original goodness with tender pork collar chashu, wood ear fungus mushroom, seaweed and spring onions. The delectable Kotteri Tonkotsu Ramen is elevated with thick and juicy slices of pork belly chashu that complements the deep and flavourful pork bone extract perfectly.
Ramen Champion is proud to announce that it will now house Gyumaru at its Bugis+ enclave. Gyumaru is the first ramen restaurant in Singapore to serve Gyukotsu Ramen (beef bone ramen), which is a rare dish in the ramen world.
A riff on the popular tonkotsu, the fully emulsified broth of the Gyukotsu Ramen boasts a clear consistency and a pronounced piquant flavour of beef fat. Relish the palate-enveloping note of the beef broth, which is made with beef bone and oxtail. The entire preparation takes two days to complete — the broth is first boiled for nine hours, before it is cooled and refrigerated for it to set into a thick and flavourful concentrate. Each beef broth cube is then simmered over low heat before it is served.
The broth is accompanied with springy thin noodles custom-made from a local Japanese noodle making specialist — for the doneness, there are two options to choose from: soft and hard. Thick tender cubes of well-marbled ribeye sourced domestically from a halal-certified supplier are placed atop the ribbons of al-dente noodles. Other ingredients including green onions and Japanese leek contribute delicate notes to the overall dish. Top the dish with the optional coriander for a local twist and additional fragrant lift!
Gyumaru is in the process of receiving its Halal certification — Muslim gourmands can very soon enjoy non-pork ramen!
