24 Hours in a Halal Japanese Ramen Restaurant: ICHIKOKUDO

[@Sethluifoodtravel]

It has come to our attention that many have allowed the word "Chashu" affect their judgementation on whether the product is Halal or not. Be assured that the "Chashu" here is made of chicken, as witnessed from the production team. Please also understand that the term "Chashu" does not strictly have to be pork, and is simply a name to keep it as original as possible. As unbelievable as it may be, this "Chashu" is made with chicken.

[@Nabee_H]

U should pin this

[@tentobot]

Cha-Shu means Forked Roast in Chinese. People are so used to associate the term with pork that many mistaken it for a pork product. Bacon is a salted and smoked curing process with fatty meat, but also presumed to be pork as well. When you really understand the name, you'll realize the food association is a social attachment. I go crazy whenever I take a friend to a Buddhist Restaurant and they still ask "Is this meat?"

They should add word "chicken" to chashu, it can be confusing to some people because generally chashu made from pork

Actually most of the task is the restaurant manager responsibility (been in the line of work, so I'm familiar with the SOP).. It's usually applied at franchise restaurant where they have QA check in every 3 months.. The results must passed the threshold set or you will face the consequences such as salary cut, extra working hours.. Therefore we must check the cleanliness of the restaurant, the staff work, the food taste to ensure they follow all the SOP from HQ.. and of course help out service crew and kitchen crew.. But I must say, we did not have 1 step where he clean his cloth with roller, I'm amaze by that..

His comeback is as swift as a samurai's strike: zero hesitation, deceptively gentle yet dead accurate. Moral of the story: if a boss were genuinely honest with himself, then the staff would be confident enough to be honest with him. The trouble with a lot of local bosses in Singapore? Experts at 'tai-chi' & never leading by example so, if you're gonna be full of 'wayang' then it shouldn't surprise you when your staff is also an expert at plum pudding your balls instead of getting you actual, tangible results.

@@onLYbyM prices range from 10 plus to about 20 there? Depends on what you get. I really like their seafood ramen. It's darn good, the broth itself is good. I prefer that compared to the tomato broth option. Oh, and they have a newly open outlet at Arab Street, literally right outside of the Sultan Mosque. So far, I've only tried them at the Paya Lebar and Arab Street outlet and I'd say it's good. Best to go for their ramen compared to the donburi as I feel that's what they're known for and I tried the Donburi and it was just alright, nothing amazing. But, recently, I tried the seafood ramen with the seafood broth and it was good though if I'm not mistaken, it was around the $17 range, but it's definitely worth it, especially if you are looking for a good halal ramen option.

I was questioning other day why am I watching halal ramen videos after midnight when I go quite hungry.

[@adenina6473]

This man is amazing, he's also a chef.. after covid over InsyaaAllah I'll come to this restaurant..

[@windya7815]

I went to eat there not knowing it’s one of the best ramen in Singapore. That’s why it surprisingly tasted really good

Someone open up a japanease halal restaurant near me for god s sake . I really Really wanna taste and experience other cultures’ foods (especially Japan) but there is always this annoying barrier of meat(not halal ofc) . And even with vegetables and any fried stuff (in oil) i m always wary of cross-contamination and stuff 😢 . Love the chef s energy btw , he seems so chill and approachable ❤

[@acabzmuse285]

So, when are you opening in malaysia? I'm craving for authentic Japanese ramen but found it hard to get the halal version.. We malaysian would be honored if u opening a branch here..

[@staceyk.210]

Idk but I have always found that men who can cook in kitchen are simply the best!! It's something about the way they handle themselves around food and not to mention the way they can also interact w/customers to!! This guy is Awesome at his job and the way he works each day is incredible!! He could definitely cook for me ANYTIME!!🇺🇸🍜🇺🇸
