Daikokuya 大黒家 at Robertson Quay

Daikokuya 大黒家




Daikokuya is one of the few places in Singapore at which you can get good tsukemen. Compared to traditional ramen, tsukemen is actually more suited for Singapore's weather. Why so?



Tsukemen is served with the cold noodles separated from the warm broth. This means that you only dip the noodles in right before you eat them, and so when it reaches your mouth, it will be just slightly warm.

This prevents that profuse sweating (it sucks really) when eating a traditional hot bowl of ramen.


Daikokuya's tsukemen is made with a fish and pork broth, and you probably wouldn't expect it to be sweet and sour.

But it is. The acidity helps cut the fattiness of the oil, and really helps bring out the flavor of the broth. It doesn't look so appetizing in the photo, but it is when you eat it.

Not really that amazing, but give it a try.
