Have you ever tried to make your own bowl of ramen and failed miserably? Yes, I lack the gumption to make one. Don’t even get me started on the instant ramen you can buy at the supermarket. Nothing beats a bowl of ridiculously rich, intensely savoury ramen from your favourite ramen shop in Japan, especially when you’ve previously had an extraordinary ramen experience.
But here in Singapore, we can also expect to find familiar ramen joints from Japan to satisfy your wanderlust. While dining in is not permitted at this stage to reduce virus transmission, these ramen joints are ready to deliver to your doorstep.
Here’s a list of slurp-worthy bowls to kickstart your noodle adventures at the comfort of your own home.

3. Kanada-Ya
There is something for everyone at Kanada-Ya with 10 types of ramen, savoury rice bowls and delicious side dishes available. Hailing from Fukuoka, Japan, the ramen joint made headlines with snaking queues in London, and it has been voted as the top ramen restaurant in London by The Telegraph.
Here in Singapore, we agree that Kanada-Ya makes excellent bowls of tonkotsu ramen topped with truffle marinated belly chashu and truffle jelly, which elevates this satisfying noodle soup to a whole new level of deliciousness.

Behind the ramen of Kanada-Ya lies an inspiring story of the founder, Kanada-san, despite setbacks from his athletic career that left him paralysed and wheelchair-bound for a few months, never gave up on life and strived to fulfil his childhood dream of opening a ramen restaurant. Within a decade, Kanada-Ya has expanded to over 10 outlets worldwide in cities like London, Hong Kong and Barcelona.
Need an uplifting lunch experience? Kanada-Ya offers a family bundle for 4 pax from now till 13th June at S$98. WhatsApp 86685053 for more details or visit https://kanadaya.oddle.me/en_SG to place your order.

For the uninitiated, maze-soba is ‘mixing ramen’ in Japanese, a dry noodle dish featuring thick ramen noodle, signature minced meat sauce and onsen egg, and it’s typically consumed by mixing the ingredient together to enjoy the harmony of flavours.
In addition to its signature flavour, there are Southeast Asian-inspired renditions such as Tom Yum maze-soba and Spicy Mala maze-soba.
Menya Kokoro is also offering 10% off total bill for takeaway and delivery!
