Opened by Chef Raymond Tan—the owner of high-end sushi restaurant, Hiyru—Shinsho Ramen is a new ramen eatery at Singpost Centre. Originating from Malaysia, Shinsho Ramen specialises in chicken paitan (white soup) ramen.

Shinsho’s paitan ramen is made from boiling and simmering a large amount of whole chicken, pork bones, chicken legs, and several kinds of vegetables over more than 8 hours. The result? A creamy, collagen-rich consistency with deep, savoury flavours.

There are 8 ramen on Shinsho Ramen’s menu:

• Aged Soy Sauce Ramen (S$14.90)
• Black Garlic Ramen (S$15.90)
• Spicy Red Miso Ramen (S$16.90)
• Special Black Truffle Flavour Ramen (S$17.90)
• Sakura Ebi & Chashu Curry Tsukemen (S$17.90)
• Pork Ribs Teriyaki Ramen (S$29)
• Half Rock Lobster Ramen (S$48)
• Kuroge Wagyu Ramen (S$54)

For delivery, you can opt for Shinsho Ramen’s raw noodle pack and cook the ramen yourself. The ramen ingredients, noodles and paitan soup broth will be packed separately and all you have to do is to cook the noodles in boiling water and heat up the soup broth which comes in a vacuum-packed bag. It’s a great way to enjoy piping hot ramen at the comfort of your place.

There are also premium ramen options including Half Rock Lobster Ramen and Kuroge Wagyu Ramen.

Apart from ramen, you can also choose from a selection of sides such as Fried Chicken Skin with Spicy Aioli, Homemade Wagyu Gzoya (S$12.40 for 4 pcs) and Roasted Pork Belly Bun (S$6.20).

We absolutely loved the spicy aioli dip which came with the fried chicken skin.

While we didn’t quite like the roasted pork belly which was too lean and dry, we thoroughly enjoyed the Homemade Wagyu Gzoya.

October is a great month for ramen lovers! Not only do we have the legendary Ichiran Ramen’s pop-up stall and an abundance of other famed ramen booths setting up shop at Takashimaya’s Japan Food Matsuri, there is also the new “Ichiran-inspired” Gangsta Ramen at Tanjong Pagar Plaza.

What sets Gangsta Ramen apart from the usual ramen restaurants in Singapore is that they are the first place in Singapore to emulate Ichiran Ramen’s private ramen dining concept! Their prices are also NETT, with no GST or service charge.

They offer 12 single-pax booths, separated by wooden dividers for you to eat in isolation and peace. They also have sharing tables for those who prefer to dine with friends.

We tried their Original Ramen (S$10), which had a classic pork bone broth. The noodles were springy and quite firm.

The tonkotsu broth was light—bordering on bland—on the palate and it was not as creamy and rich as we expected.

We also had the Signature Ramen with Cheese (S$12). All the soups are simmered in the same tonkotsu broth, so taste wise, it was not that much different from their original ramen. The cheese was a let-down; it only coated the first few noodle strands, and the broth did not have the richer, cheesier taste as claimed.

We did like the pork belly slices though; they had a well-balanced meat to fat ratio and were melt-in-your-mouth tender! The hanjuku egg was also runny, and the yolk was slightly sweet, complementing the savoury soup. The ingredients were generous in portion as well, with thick slices of pork belly, bamboo shoots and wood ear mushrooms.

If you’re alone and in the area looking to have a peaceful lunch, you can consider dropping by Gangsta Ramen! We will visit here once for the experience, but we won’t return for the ramen.
