Guiding you to good food & best restaurants in Singapore

Excite your taste buds with this irresistible spicy broth, concocted by blending chilli paste with their signature Tonkotsu and topped with spicy minced pork. This ramen is sure to pack a punch along with cha shu, onsen egg and bamboo shoot 》$16.50

This dish presents thin, firm Hosomen ramen in a double-boiled soup comprising signature Tonkotsu and premium bonito, which adds a savoury depth to the umami broth. Each bowl is crowned with unctuous slices of Toroniku (seared pork cheek), onsen egg, bamboo shoot and seaweed 》$16.50

Love the simplicity of the dish and the al dente-ness of the handmade noodle. It retains its texture till my last bite and the soup remains clear.
Would prefer my egg to be not so scattered though

The assam pedas hummus was really delicious and wasn’t too spicy. Prawns were really fresh as well! Stand out dish of the night for me. Would definitely recommend this spot to all my family and friends. Staff were super friendly as well

Great experience and food from chef Gwyneth and her team! The star of the show was definitely the prawns (duh) but also the dry aged yellowtail blew my mind. In between sashimi and cooked, I've never had fish like that in my life.

Plus the music playlist slaps

We are big fans of Ji Xian's juicy and tender steamed bamboo clams and were disappointed to learn that they were out of season. The folks at Ji Xian therefore suggested that we check out their mini bamboo clams prepared the same way.

Unfortunately, everyone felt that the mini version fell short of our expectations. They were noticeably smaller and tougher with a 'stringy' texture.

Not a fan of the ingredient itself tbh.

We really enjoyed Charen's fried garlic pork which was juicy, tender and nicely marinated. The perfect savoury snack on its own or over rice. We loved that they were topped with fried garlic bits that were strangely addictive.

My only complaint was that I nearly consumed a little rock in their pad thai on our 2nd visit there. I was rather disappointed with their lacklustre response when I raised it to them. I could have easily broken a tooth, biting on it. I accept that it might be accidental but surely they could have shown a little concern or acted on it in a visibly manner instead making me feel ignored.

Yellow noodles soak up a mildly sweet, starchy braised sauce, coating each strand with deep, comforting flavour. Tender fish chunks, juicy shredded braised pork and crispy fried chicken create a mix of textures that keep every bite interesting.

The golden-fried yam roll adds a crisp contrast, while the hard-boiled egg offers a firm bite. For the perfect finishing touch, don’t skip the garlic, chilli and vinegar 》$5.50

Their signature dish. Some people may not like it. I find it fishy. But the waiter is nice. They swapped a dish for me. I like the ginger frog.
