Hokkaido-Style Ramen Shop @ Boat Quay

Found a Ramen shop near my office through a colleague. Saw its advertisement some years back on papers, but I couldn't locate the exact location till lately. It is at North Canal Road along Boat Quay area, just opposite of OCBC Building.

Entrance of Baikouken

Hokkaido-Style Ramen with Corns & Butter

So what so special about this shop?

  • It is owned by a Japanese Young Chap.
  • He brought in Hokkaido-style Ramen with most of the ingredients came from Hokkaido itself, I heard.
  • Price range is quite reasonable about S$8-15 depends on choices. For ladies, they can choose half bowl version if they found the original size is too filling for them. Very thoughtful.
  • Hokkaido-style Ramen call Shoyu Ramen includes with sweet corns and Hokkaido butter to make it a buttery and some creamy feel.
  • Like any Ramen shop in Japan, you can add their half boiled egg yolk-full boiled egg white to your dish. Others you may add such as bean sprout, corns, charsiew, etc.
  • 3 Chef/Staff who are truly Japanese, so you feel that you are somewhere in Japan. Of course they greet you with Japanese accent :op
  • Open kitchen concept, best to sit right in front of the counter so you can watch them face-to-face cooking while you are waiting or eating.
  • Have Sapporo Beer at S$9 for 660ml, haven't try yet.
  • Old style Japanese posters on the wall, cabinet, everywhere.
  • You can choose to sit outside the shop for afresco feel or 2nd floor for air-conditioning area.
  • Free Flow of Japanese Wheat Tea with a jug provided to each table, I like that!

    So try this Baikohken Ramen Shop, if you want a truely Hokkaido experience!! Oiishi Ne!
