Sometimes, all you want is a huge bowl of saucy noodles for lunch. Great flavour, massive portions, good variety. We’d say Kajiken ticks all these boxes, so next time you want a bowl of impressive mazesoba to slurp up before getting back to the office, head down to the Kajiken Tanjong Pagar outlet for your fill.
Kajiken is massively popular with the work crowd and can get pretty packed during lunch hour on weekdays, so be prepared to queue!
Mazesoba Craze: What to expect with your fancy dry ramen
Literally meaning “mix the noodles”, mazesoba is pretty self-explanatory. Cooked noodles (without the soup) are served in a bowl with a bunch of tantalising ingredients and secret sauce. You are expected to mix it all up before you eat it, so we’d say it’s almost like a version of bak chor mee. Kajiken prides itself on being Japan’s number one mazesoba brand; Kajiken Singapore dedicates its entire menu solely to mazesoba. Remember to mix your mazesoba for 20 whole seconds before you tuck in — it’s actually a Kajiken rule!
One of their bestsellers is no doubt the Taiwan Mazesoba Nagoya Style ($12.80++). A creamy onsen egg sits atop a generous serving of spicy minced pork, chopped scallions, and nori strips. Chewy noodles are hidden below with all that saucy goodness, and when you mix it all up, you are rewarded with a surprisingly harmonious dish with enough of a spice kick to keep you salivating until the last noodle strand. Oh, and…
You can upsize your noodle portion for free, so you are guaranteed to walk out of Kajiken with a bursting belly.
Other unusual options include Grilled Cheese with Cod Roe Mazesoba ($16.30++), which actually sounds like something worth all the calories. Also, the Hokkaido Mazesoba with Salmon Flakes, Salmon Roe and Butter ($16.30++) sounds like a flavour explosion. We’ll be sure to try those next. For devotees of the signature dry ramen, the Original Mazesoba with Char Siew ($15.80++) is certainly the way to go, with familiar additions of bamboo shoots and pork slices.
The Kajiken Tanjong Pagar outlet is located just outside Orchid Hotel facing Tanjong Pagar Road. It is open daily from 11.30 am to 9.30 pm.
