Tonkotsu Kazan Ramen (JEM)

My first encounter with Tonkotsu Kazan Ramen was at their Novena Square 2 outlet a few years ago and the memory of the “erupting volcano” stayed with me.

On a recent trip to Jurong East, I was delighted to see that Tonkotsu Kazan Ramen has opened a new outlet in JEM. Those who stay in the west side of Singapore can now enjoy a piping hot bowl of Tonkotsu Kazan Ramen without having to travel all the way to Novena Square 2 or Liang Court.

This is how Tonkotsu Kazan Ramen got its name. Look at the smoke coming out of the red inverted funnel-shaped cover, it does look like a volcano that has erupted, doesn't it?

It’s not difficult to see why Kazen Shoyu is one of the most popular ramens at Tonkotsu KazanRamen. The creamy tonkotsu broth is enriched with a special blend of soy sauce, so it is lighter on the palate. I personally find the chashu to be too thick, but the generous amount of cabbage that tops the ramen makes it a healthy meal that is easily enough for two people. Cooked in a 400-degrees hot stone bowl, this is one hot ramen.

On a separate trip, Tonkotsu Kazan Ramen was having a promotion of Beef Sukiyaki Kazan, so I ordered one to try. If you are a beef lover, this is the ramen for you. Cooked in a hot stone bowl that is heated to 400 degrees, the board ramen noodles are topped with a generous amount of thinly-sliced beef. The broth is a mixture of creamy tonkotsu broth and Tonkotsu Kazan Ramen’s special beef sukiyaki soy sauce paste. Frankly speaking, I am totally in love with this ramen.

One thing to note, do eat the ramen noodles as soon as the red inverted funnel lid has been lifted because the noodles tend to get soggy after a while. These are board noodles which soak up the broth pretty fast, so do remember to eat them quickly.

PAUL

PAUL is a renowned family French bakery and patisserie founded in 1889. Bringing with them them the fine tradition of passion for food and French traditions, PAUL gives Singaporeans a glimpse into French culture and tradition through the delicious and visually-appealing pastries and food. PAUL's Hot Chocolate is not as creamy as I would have liked it but every last drop is made with good-quality cocoa powder. Lemon Tart With Meringue is not exactly my favourite dessert, but it looked so pretty that I decided to give it a try anyway. However, it proved to be too sour for my palette even with the beautifully flamed meringue. Croque Madame is croque-monsieur (grilled ham and cheese sandwich) topped with a fried egg. Emmental cheese, cream and ham is sandwich in pain de eie and toasted till a rich golden brown colour. Topped with a fried egg with runny yolk, every bite is filled with delicious goodness.

Korean bingsu is a popular Korean dessert comprising of ice shavings and various ingredients such as sweetened condensed milk, fruit syrups, fresh fruits, Korean rice cake and ice-cream. Bingsu is all the craze in Singapore now and Korean bingsu cafes are popping up everywhere like wild mushrooms. Besides bingsu, this dessert cafe also serves usual cafe offerings such as coffee and tea. I have been told that their Signature Oven-Baked Honey Bread is very good. The flavours include Strawberry & Chocolate with Ice Cream, Banana & Chocolate with Ice Cream and Green Tea with Ice Cream. I was told that Mango Cheesecake Bingsu is one of the most popular item on the menu. Oh my, it is a sight to behold! A bowl of shaved ice is topped with sweetened condensed milk and freshly-cut m...

Grandma's - Authentic Singapore Food

Grandma's has been around for quite a while now but I only got the chance to try their food recently when the third outlet opened in Suntec City. I remember having these prawn crackers when I was little. They are so easy and good to eat, I can finish a whole package of this in one sitting. I don't usually order Malay food, but the Nasi Bukhari looked so good in the menu, I thought I will give it a try. Fragrant yellow turmeric rice is served with golden brown chicken leg which is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Prawns were fresh and succulent but I don't really like the sauce the prawns are cooked in. What really amazes me about this dish is the beef rendang. I never knew Bo Bo Cha Cha is so such a delightful dessert until I tried it here at Grandma's. The warm and thick coconut tastes so good with chunks of sweet potato and yam. This is definitely comfort food that warms the heart. Gr...
