Konjiki Hototogisu (Paragon) - Shinjuku Michelin One Star Restaurant

Singaporeans love Japanese ramen and Japanese ramen restaurants know that. Japanese ramen restaurants have been popping up like mushrooms all around Singapore. 

I am a self-professed ramen-lover. Ramen Keisuke Tonkotsu King, and   are a few of my favorite ramen restaurants.

Konjiki Hototogisu Ramen created quite a stir when its flagship restaurant opened in CHIJMES in June 2018. This award-winning ramen restaurant from Shinjuku was one of the Tokyo Michelin Bib Gourmand 2015-2018 and it was finally awarded one michelin star in 2019.

Following the success of the second outlet at Great World City, Konjiki Hototogisu Ramen has recently opened a third outlet in Paragon in Orchard Road. 

Chef Atsushi Yamamoto has created two new ramens for the new outlet in Paragon - Iberico Shoyu Ramen and Crab Ramen. Let’s try out these two new ramens. 

Konjiki Hototogisu - Iberico Shoyu Ramen

Niigata is known for their local gourmet speciality, ginger shoyu ramen. Chef Atsushi Yamamoto takes a creative spin on it by adding Asari clam broth. Iberico Shoyu Ramen [$15.90] is best enjoyed in 4 steps: 

Step 1: Take a sip of the original ginger shoyu broth blended with Asari clam broth. You should taste a subtle sweetness on top of the light shoyu broth. 

Step 2: Blend in the freshly grated ginger into the broth and taste the warm and piquant flavor. 

Step 3: Squeeze the lemon slices provided and freshen your palate with the lemon-infused broth. 

Step 4: Mix everything together and slurp your noodles loudly to show appreciation to the chef. 

Konjiki Hototogisu - Crab Ramen

The other signature ramen at Konjiki Hototogisu Ramen is the Crab Ramen [$15.90]. The crab broth is made using Japanese blue crabs which are boiled and simmered over long hours. This ramen is also best enjoyed in 4 steps: 

Step 1: Try the original crab broth. 

Step 2: Stir in the in-house special crab & tomato paste which amplies the richness of the crab broth. 

Step 3: Mix in the sour cream which thickens the broth and lends a little tanginess to the broth. 

Step 4: Squeeze in some of the lemon provided to freshen-up your palate. 

Konjiki Hototogisu - Tonkotsu Original Ramen

Chef Atsushi Yamamoto takes a creative spin on the classic tonkotsu broth. Tonkotsu Original Ramen [$13.90] is a blend of tonkotsu and homemade horse oil. The broth is lighter than Ramen Keisuke Tonkotsu King and the low-temperature iberico chasu complements the broth.

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.   Address and telephone n...

O'ma Spoon

                        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...
