WOKE Ramen

A halal joint that not only has chicken broth but this prawn-infused broth. Granted, it's not the highest quality, especially the noodles that didn't seem Japanese, but it's uncommon. The prawn balls were great.

I actually returned to Woke Ramen a few weeks later when I caught another flight out of Changi Airport. Just because I was specifically craving their ramen & broth.

Tried a different dish this time - Woke's Prawn Paste Ramen ($14.90++). The broth & fixin's were the same as the Tiger Prawn Ramen's: A ramen egg, crunchy black fungus, sliced cabbage & spring onions. I reckon they should be pretty standard across the prawn broth bowls...

The prawn paste balls are great; tasty & with a firm bite to them. Technically, they're more fuss-free than prawns, as no peeling of shells is required.

Do I have a preference between prawn paste/balls & tiger prawns? Not really, if I gotta be honest. I liked them pretty equally. 👍🏻

Damn. This Tiger Prawn Ramen ($14.90++) SLAPS. 2 fresh tiger prawns that you have to deshell on your own, but the shells come off easily. Plenty of other ingredients fill up the bowl as well - a ramen egg, crunchy black fungus, sliced cabbage & spring onions.

Their specialty ramen noodles are silky smooth, & have a lovely bounce to them. I was particularly impressed by the prawn broth on first sip; when they say wok hei, they mean it. It was there.

The amount of broth they give is generous, too. It actually submerges almost everything in the large bowl; not like what is pictured in the menu. For pictorial purposes (i.e. in the menu) - showing less broth so the ingredients are visible? I get it.

Ultimately, I’m pretty darn happy - for how delicious & substantial this bowl of prawn ramen was. Would recommend & would return!

I reckon it’s pretty out of the way for most, being located at Changi Airport… (Not me, when I visited, as I was catching a flight.) But I do feel this is something I’d make the journey for.

Well I was gonna do it anyway, so I showed the waiter my Instagram Story with @wokeramensg tagged…. Then he told me I have to wait.

.. For what, though?

Apparently, the content posted needs to be of the ramen itself. & that's not stated here in the promotion mechanics 😂 So what I'd posted about their premises/brand (since I was waiting for my ramen to be served) didn't qualify.

I gave him feedback, & also DM-ed Woke Ramen about how it's probably in their best interests to clearly state this in their little standee. Not sure if that has changed (this post is belated; somehow it slipped through the cracks), but looking at others' photos.... It might not have. Haha.

I don't actually have an issue with the T&Cs, but I do think about the poor staff who have to keep explaining this invisible fine print. Common sense would mean just spelling it out here clearly, so it's unambiguous for all.

Just my two cents. 🙃

It was put as the first wok hey ramen in Singapore and of course I want to figure it out as well.

Serving prawn and chicken collagen style of broth here.

Their prawn paste ramen comes with signature prawn paste balls, onsen egg, black fungus and of course the wok hey ramen.

Although I don’t really taste the wok hey from the noodle that has been stir-fried over high heat. But it does taste softer texture.

The broth is very tasty for me and rich as well, which it gets the sweetness from the prawn.
