The latest contender to join the noodle ranks is this cosy ramen joint in the Paragon basement. Here, an interior of dark brown wood, jazz soundtrack, compact menu and a brisk kitchen make mealtimes a soothing exercise in Japanese efficiency.
There are interesting sides like unagi chawanmushi and fried oysters, but the starring roles are dominated by ramen that’s cooked Tokyo-, Sapporo-, Kyushu-, and Kyushu Tonkatsu-style. This translates into stock that’s miso-based, pork-flavoured, or steeped in chicken for 11 hours; meanwhile springy noodles are paired with a variety of toppings ranging from tonkatsu pork and hard-boiled eggs to charred and crushed garlic. Tip: order the mini versions so you can try more dishes. Daven Wu
