The new restaurant will be located on the third floor of the mall, located a short walk from City Hall MRT Station. 15 City Hall Food Gems Including $2++ Oysters, Michelin Bib Gourmand Ramen And More A post shared by Mensho Tokyo SG (@menshotokyo.sg) In case you didn’t know, the world-famous brand was founded in 2005 by ramen master Chef Tomoharu Shono, who’s won multiple accolades for his creations, including Tokyo Ramen of the Year. His key to success? Focusing on the balance of the five main elements of ramen—the sauce (tare), soup, noodles, oil, and toppings. The brand currently has 17 outlets across the globe, so this Singapore outpost will mark its 18th store launch.

What you get are a springy texture and nutty flavour, along with the nutritional benefits of whole wheat. Besides the chain’s signature ramen, you can look forward to Singapore-exclusive mains, including a Chilli Crab Ramen (price TBD).
