Marukin Ramen (Scotts Square)

Tokyo’s famous ramen chain-restaurant Marukin Ramen has finally set up its base in Singapore, at the basement at Scotts Square. Unlike the typical pork-based ramen soup broth, Marukin Ramen uses its famed 6-hour slow cooked chicken soup for its ramen, a winning recipe cooked unhurriedly to perfection.

When founder Hiroshi Kusuda first started in 1994, he didn’t come up with the chicken ramen soup initially. It was when they ventured to Shanghai, then they realized that the people there love to drink chicken soup, so they decided to come up with the chicken broth recipe.

Marukin Ramen also serves a variety of sides such as the Original Potato Salad ($3.90).

And there is the Karaage Deep Fried Chicken ($4.90).

We like the Deep Fried Vegetables in Dashi Broth ($5.90). The dashi broth was a little spicy but it was refreshing. 

Hiyayakko Chilled Tofu ($3.90) was very smooth and it was served with Chilli Soy Sauce.

Last but not least is the Marukin Gyoza (5 pcs $5.90, 10 pcs $10.90) which is homemade original chicken dumplings. These dumplings are handmade with freshly marinated minced chicken and shredded vegetables. It is crispy on the outside yet juicy and succulent on the inside and you can dipped with Japanese Shoyu, rice vinegar and chilli oil.
