[CLOSED] Kajiken (Bugis)

Ramen was springy and thick. The sauce mixes really well with the noodles. Char siew was tender. Strongly recommend their karaage chicken! Would definitely come back again!

Ordered the all toppings mazesoba (bottom, $15.80) and char siew mazesoba (top, $13.80). I personally like the noodles (thick, chewy, QQ) and sauce, and there is also a free upsize option to 1.5x noodles. Quaint Japanese eatery right outside Bugis MRT- it wasn’t crowded at all on a Saturday afternoon.

Total for 2 pax: $18.60 using BB 1 for 1.
Do note that you can only order 1 all toppings mazesoba if you are using BB.

Al dente ramen coated with really nice, sweet sauce. Comes with bamboo shoots and really amazing chashu! There’s free noodles upsize with every bowl. The additional portion (Slight less than half of the normal portion) was thoughtfully served in another bowl so you can add it in as and when you like. The extra portion doesn’t come plain- the noodles were coated with the sauce too (not bland noodles, don’t worry). Chashu was good, tho nothing to shout about. It’s the decent quality chashu you’d expect from any good ramen house. Each order also came with free-flow miso soup. My gripe would be the bamboo shoots which came along with a distinct taste that doesn’t cater to all palate!

Al dente ramen topped with loadsa spicy minced meat, onsen egg, spring onions and seaweed! It’s kinda like the hawker bakchormee. There’s the fragrance from the seaweed and some light crunch from the spring onions. The minced meat comes in pretty huge clusters that enhances each bite. While it the description reads “spicy minced meat”, the spice level was really mild, and definitely manageable. It looks like a pretty simple dish but it’s pretty addictive! Each order comes with free-flow miso soup (simply ask for refill once you’ve finished the tiny cup of soup) With Burpple beyond 1-1, this is a great deal!

1 for 1 dried ramen, pretty good! The soup that comes with the ramen is pretty good as well, yums!

Noodles are springy. Nagoya a lil spicy but still manageable for those who can take a lil spice (though i personally find it like bak chor mee.. 😂) Value for money with Burpple.
Strong n weird smell in the restaurant though.
