Newly-opened Kumamoto Ramen in Bukit Merah treats diners to S$6.80 bowls of authentic ramen

Previously the owner of You Ma You La chain, 42-year-old Singapore citizen, Yang Jian, is back. This time to offer us affordable bowls of authentic Japanese tonkotsu ramen in the heartlands. Named Kumamoto Ramen, the stall focuses on selling bowls of ramen that will offer you a one-of-a-kind experience; similar to being in Japan itself.

After his 14-outlet chain went bust, Yang Jian decided to seek help from his Japanese friend (based in Tokyo), to bring us authentic Japanese grub in an affordable setting. The simple interior is also decked with a floor-to-ceiling mural of adorable Pokémon! A unique experience indeed. To keep things budget-friendly, he also sources out for affordable cuts like pork shoulder for the cha shu and other store-bought ingredients.

Currently opened at two locations (Bukit Merah and Serangoon North), the hawker hopes to open at least six more outlets within the next three years. All the best, Yang Jian!
