MIHARU SAPPORO RAMEN

The first few brands that we fell in love with when the ramen trend hit Singapore was Miharu Sapporo Ramen. It used to sit along Robertson Quay, at Gallery Hotel. When the hotel ceased operations, Miharu fans were left upset and deprived of their favourite Sapporo ramen. However the good news is that NOW, they are exclusively at Millenia Walk and you can enjoy a bowl of Miharu’s goodness!

Rejoice, ramen fans! The outlet at Millenia Walk is slightly bigger and very comfortable, while your favourite ramen with the famous Nishiyama noodles specially imported from Japan, and rich miso broth is still flavourful as always. Our favourite ramen is most definitely the Tokusen Miso Ramen with a special miso blend (S$14.80++).

Celebrate “All Things Japanese Fridays” and enjoy two bowls of ramen at only S$20++, applicable for shoyu and miso ramen.

PULLMAN BAKERY

Looking to grab a quick breakfast or some bread to take home after work or just to snack during the day? Pullman Bakery is your answer. We love this Hokkaido bakery for its premium offerings of breads and cakes.

The Hokkaido Curry Bun (S$2.50) is its bestseller, and because the curry paste is air-flown from Hokkaido in limited quantities, these buns are often snapped up by midday. Fastest fingers first, so we’d say: grab it in the morning while it is still warm and steamy on the inside – definitely your perfect breakfast on the go. Also, try the Bacon Egg (S$2.30), Raisin Walnut Milk Stick (S$2) and Premium Toast Type Rich (S$4.30 for half a loaf).

Bring your kids (<12yo) along on Saturdays and they will receive a bag of cookies for free when Daddy and Mommy make a purchase of S$10 and above.

RAKUZEN JAPANESE RESTAURANT

Now, Rakuzen is a hidden gem! This Japanese restaurant at Millenia Walk has an amazing variety in its menu that is pleasantly affordable. We are regulars, and as much as we’d love to keep this place a selfish secret, we know it deserves your attention. Their set lunches in particular are very value for money!

There is this highly popular Maru Bento set that is enough for two to share. It consists of yasai tempura, sashimi, a plate of sushi assortment, chicken stew, grilled unagi, chawanmushi and a side salad and dessert- all these at only S$45++! And if you are game for some maki rolls, the Aburi Beef Roll ($18++) is the absolute crowning glory!

“Kids Eat Free Saturdays” sees that every child (<12yo) gets a free chawanmushi.

TEPPEI SYOKUDO

Teppei first rose to fame with its super value-for-money chirashi-don at its nondescript outlet in Tanjong Pagar. Long lines have often formed during lunch hours, but not all are fans of queueing. Let’s do a takeaway instead!

Over at Millenia Walk, Teppei Syokudo is a hassle-free outlet where you can choose to eat in the outlet or takeaway your favourite sashimi rice bowl, and it is simply perfect for days when you need to pack lunch back to the office. Everyone’s favourite Kaisen-don is at S$16 for a serving, and you can top up S$8 for some chopped negitoro (tuna with spring onions). But if you do not want raw fish, sure, there is the Katsu-don (S$15.80) and Saba Miso Bento (S$12.80).

At Teppei, the “All Things Japanese Fridays” promotion features a S$20 Dinner Set – a serving of Kaisen-don with extra sashimi topping, and a drink. Superb value, indeed.

Not a fan of pork? No problem. Saboten also offers deep fried breaded prawns, salmon and oysters. There will surely be something to suit your taste buds.

TOMI SUSHI

Tomi Sushi is an under-the-radar Japanese restaurant that has been around for a while. We love its simplicity, and it is one restaurant that we often turn to when we need some fuss-free Japanese food. While there is nothing too lavish about having a meal at Tomi, you can still expect hearty servings at friendly price tags for a decent Japanese meal.

Tomi Sushi will be opening at Millenia Walk in May.
