As the name suggests, Burosu Honten Gyoza and Ramen is also known for their gyoza side dishes. Each dumpling is meticulously wrapped with love and the crispy base on the Pan-fried Gyoza adds a delightful crunch to the succulent meat inside. Great as an appetizer and even better as an accompaniment to a main ramen dish.

Buta Kin Ramen might be a hawker ramen stall, but it doesn’t hold back on its flavour punches. Their signature Special Tonkotsu Ramen delivers a savoury Tonkotsu soup base packed with flavour, yet has a light mouthfeel that makes it easy slurp to the last drop. At $6.90 a bowl, each serving comes with 3 thick slices of smoky chashu, a whole hanjuku egg as well as some black fungus and nori. With that kind of wallet-friendly price tag, it’s no wonder that Buta Kin ramen is slowly becoming a hot favourite among hawker-goers!

If the usual Tonkotsu Ramen doesn’t tickle your fancy, then maybe give the Spicy Miso Ramen from Kokoro Ramen a try! Flavoured with spicy miso, the milky white tonkotsu broth transforms into a fiery red broth that could a little hard to handle for those weak to spice. However, spice lovers will find this broth a good mix of creamy tonkotsu broth and spicy miso without being overpowering, all while providing a good kick to the back of the throat. The dish comes with a thin slice of chashu, a whole flavoured egg and generous helpings of corn, black fungus and spring onion. With this deliciously unique spicy broth, it’s no wonder you’ll see long queues at this local ramen store!

5. Ramen Champion @ Bugis +
The next contender is no stranger ramen lovers out there. Ramen Champion is every ramen lover’s heaven as every outlet contains 6 different ramen stalls – each specialising in different styles and types of ramen. All of them are actually battling it out to see which amongst them is the best, so rest assured that every bowl of ramen served is crafted to perfection, or else they risk being ousted for a new competitor.

Started by Koji Tashiro, the “Son of Ramen God” and the producer of Ramen Champion, Tonkotsu Ikkyu is no doubt a popular pick among customers. Their go-to ramen is the Special Tonkotsu Ramen, developed specially for the Hong Kong celebrity, Eric Tsang. This bowl of creamy yet light Tonkotsu broth is decorated with 4 slices of melt-in-the-mouth pork collar chashu and is topped off with a perfectly runny hanjuku egg, black fungus and spring onion. For an added fragrance and umami to the dish, try to Special Black Garlic Oil Tonkotsu Ramen instead. The Mayu (Black Garlic Oil) adds a smoky depth of flavour to the already delicious Tonkotsu soup base, and the slight bitterness will help cut the richness of the broth.

6. Uma Uma Ramen @ Forum the Shopping Mall
Did you know that the beloved Tonkotsu ramen originated in the Fukuoka Prefecture? Uma Uma Ramen boasts itself to be the Original Hakata Ramen (a term that refers to the Tonkotsu ramen used in Fukuoka), with its pork soup base to be naturally robust and free of MSG. The rich broth is made from pork bones, boiled for 10-12 hours in order to infuse the natural pork flavours into the milky broth.
A favourite from Uma Uma Ramen is the Spicy Chasiu Ramen, which uses their signature Tonkotsu broth with a splash of fiery chilli oil for an added kick. The chashu is seasoned with a spicy marinade that will leave your tastebuds tingling with every bite, and the dish is topped with a runny favoured egg, black fungus and spring onion.
Another dish to consider is the Mentaiko Ramen. The thin Hakata ramen strands is tossed in the tantalisingly savoury mentaiko (seasoned Pollack roe) sauce and the slightly charred chashu adds a hint of smokiness that complements the rich flavour of the noodles. Garnished with a hanjuku egg and plenty of nori, the Mentaiko Ramen is definitely a crowd favourite!
