While Uma Uma is more affordable than a place like Ippudo, I still prefer the latter more. We ordered 3 different ramen.
The first one is Tan Tan Men. It was my favourite of the three with an interesting twist on flavour. The ramen’s sesame base that gave the noodles a nutty taste and better texture!
Next up is their Mazesoba Chasiu. This one didn’t fare so well as enough though the noodles were light and springy, it didn’t really have much flavour even after mixing it with the sauce. Perhaps those with a lighter palate would like it!
The last (and worst one in my opinion) is the Mentaiko Ramen. After throughly mixing the noodles and roe, it was overwhelmingly salty and fishy!! 😵 That being said, my brother slurped up every last bit so it’s a personal preference.

Ding Tai Fung's Xiao Long Bao was very satisfying with the flavourful juices flooding my mouth after biting into it. And look how soft and supple its skin is! You can see the weight of the meat and soup stretching the skin of the dumpling! 🤤

Ding Tai Fung
Address: 9 Bishan Place, #01-41 Junction 8 Shopping Centre, Singapore 579837
Food: Fried rice with pork chop (12.80++), Xiao Long Bao 10pcs (10.80++)
Place: It has horrendously long queues so do come early if you don't want to wait!

Getting dinner to my stomach took a lot of work tonight. From a 1.5hour drive (credits to Lornie Road 😒) to long queues outside the restaurant and finally the wait for the food. I was starving by the time the food arrived!!
The highlight for me was the restaurant's fried rice with pork chop. The moist, succulent pork chop tops a mound of perfectly cooked eggy fried rice. The fried rice doesn't leave an oily mouth feel and is actually quite light! Which is why I couldn't help but continue shovelling it down 🙈
On the whole I still don't see why people queue till the cows come home to eat here haha. I mean it's nice and all but wow the queues...

However, the dish held its own against more well known restaurants like Coco or Monster Curry. The egg was creamy, the rice was plump and chewy and most importantly, the curry was just right! Japanese curries can sometimes be too sweet or thin; not so for Washoku Goen though!
The generous portion and affordable price will leave you satisfied without burning a hole in your wallet 💸.
