Largest Maze-Soba Restaurant Chain MENYA KOKORO from Japan is in Singapore

So popular that Menya Kokoro has opened 27 outlets around the world in just 4 years!

One of Tokyo’s hottest Maze-Soba (Japanese dry ramen) restaurant chains has finally arrived in Singapore! Since its establishment in 2014, Menya Kokoro has opened 27 outlets worldwide in Japan, Indonesia, Spain, Thailand and Vancouver within a span of just 4 years.

Showing no signs of slowing down, Menya Kokoro’s latest Singapore outpost will serve up its best-selling signature Maze-Soba together with Singapore-exclusive creations.

In the extremely competitive F&B industry, Menya Kokoro is committed to excellence by setting their own set of standards to abide closely.

INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT MENYA KOKORO:

🍜 Precision: Noodles are cooked exactly for 8 mins 40 sec to get the perfect chewy texture

🍜 Healthy: Noodles are made using fibrous whole wheat flour with purified water

🍜 Authentic: The maze-soba sauce is specially flown in from japan to ensure consistent to the great taste as the stores in japan.

SINGAPORE EXCLUSIVES

Maze-Don ($10.80++) – new twist on the traditional Maze-Soba, using 100% Japanese rice instead of noodles and topped with the Maze-Soba toppings! Specially selected by Singapore’s only Japanese rice sommelier, the rice is flown in straight from Hokkaido and Niigata in its raw state and is polished only upon order to preserve its aroma.

Curry Maze-Don ($13.80++) – A spicier version of the Maze-Don, enjoy a fragrant ricebowl topped with Japanese curry made in-house, and succulent grilled chicken!

Vegan Maze-Soba ($11.80++) – Comes with flavourful soy meat, and a colourful medley of vegetables!

Other tantalising dishes at Menya Kokoro include:

Spicy Maze-Soba ($11.80++) – Spice-lovers will love this rendition of Maze-Soba with special spicy oil!

Melting Cheese Maze-Soba ($12.80++) – Irresistible melted cheese on Maze-Soba

DELICIOUS SIDE DISHES ARE AVAILABLE TOO 😋

Chicken Wings ($4.80) – Made with Nagoya-style secret recipe exclusively in Menya Kokoro Singapore

Chicken Karaage ($4.80) – Juicy, crisp-fried karaage, great for sharing

Takoyaki ($4.80) – Delicious and crispy takoyaki balls in Japanese mayo and bonito flakes

My favorite dish at Menya Kokoro goes to their signature Original Maze-Soba ($10.80++) that comes with a medley of up to 12 ingredients atop those chewy noodles. Japanese-style slow-braised chashu, minced meat sauce, ground saba fish powder, poached egg, nori, green onions, chives, bamboo shoots and chopped garlic. Give them a good toss and relish the delicious explosion of flavors!

The addition of the given Kombu (kelp) Vinegar by the side gives the maze-soba an amazing yumminess that I fancy! You should really portion your noodles and give this a try!

Each maze-soba comes with free Mushroom Kombu Soup and a small portion of Oimeshi – high-quality japanese rice that goes perfectly with the remaining sauce from the maze-soba.

Head over to Suntec City for this 58-seater restaurant founded by  Chef Takuma Ishikawa who has 13 years of culinary experience under his belt now! Chef Takuma is trained under the original masters and creators of Menya Hanabi, who is known for inventing Maze-Soba and introducing to the world. In 2014, Chef Takuma won the highly acclaimed Best 2014 Maze–Soba Award in Japan.

Chui Huay Lim Teochew Cuisine on Keng Lee Road in Singapore Turns 7!

If you love authentic Teochew Cuisine, you will definitely have to check out Chui Huay Lim Teochew Cuisine on Keng Lee Road in addition to their limited edition menu.

Opened in 2011, Chui Huay Lim Teochew Cuisine is well-known for its authentic Teochew delicacies prepared with only the freshest ingredients and skilfully executed by its expert team of chefs. Located within the historical 170-year-old Chui Huay Lim Club on Keng Lee Road in Singapore, the restaurant pays tribute to Teochew culinary tradition and prides itself in presenting true blue dishes ranging from unassuming classics to exquisite specialties.
Chui Huay Lim Teochew Cuisine is a dining concept by JUMBO Group of Restaurants.

They recommended diners to start the meal with Tie Guan Yin Tea to whet the appetite and Oo Long Tea to cleanse the palate after the meal. This gesture is really thoughtful and enhances the meal.

The limited edition menu of seven a la carte Chef-recommended delicacies will be available on top of the restaurant’s regular menu as part of the 7th anniversary celebration! Skilfully prepared by the team of experienced chefs, these specialties include time- honoured dishes as well as unique takes on popular favorites. Some of the highlights include:

Crispy Fried Pork Belly and Water Chestnut Rolls Tossed in Sweet & Sour Sauce (潮式酸甜裹肉) is a heritage dish comprises marinated minced pork belly and crunchy water chestnut wrapped with pig’s caul fat – a truly traditional way of preparation. The rolls are first steamed to seal the flavours and moisture, then deep- fried to a golden brown before being glazed in a sweet and sour sauce. This is priced at $18, $27 and $36 for small, medium and large portions respectively.

Homemade Fish Balls and Fish Cake Braised with ‘Tianjin’ Cabbage in Superior Broth (潮州鱼丸鱼饼绍菜煲). Yellow eels; prized for their sweet flesh, are used in these handcrafted fish balls and fish cakes. Tianjin cabbage adds a comforting sweetness to the superior broth; rendered from hours of simmering chicken and pork bones. This is priced at $22, $33 and $44 for small, medium and large portions respectively.
