Midnight Noodle Club elevates our comfort go-to instant noodles at Farrer Park

If you’ve seen the viral make-your-own ramyun (Korean instant noodle) shops in Korea or through your favourite K-dramas, you’ll love this new instant noodle cafe at Farrer Park. 

There’s nothing like watching your favourite Korean celebrities having ramyun to spark that craving for a bowl of comforting noodles, yourself! The new Midnight Noodle Club is there to scratch that itch.

Midnight Noodle Club takes your go-to comfort food to the next level by offering a variety of ingredients — choose from a range of meats, vegetables, eggs and more — to create the instant noodle meal of your dreams. 

Coincidentally, though, there is also another instant noodle cafe in the same neighbourhood — Slurp Mee — that is known as Singapore’s first ever self-service instant noodle cafe, having launched earlier in April. 

Midnight Noodle Club sets itself apart with its edgy, video game-inspired decor — you’ll feel like you’ve entered a cosy gaming den for your late night cravings. And even better, it’s open till midnight each day — except Sundays — so, supper anyone?

As you enter the Civil Service Club at Tessensohn where Midnight Noodle Club is located, take a right and you’ll find the humble store tucked away behind the elevator. You’ll be given a tray with a set of disposable cutlery and a wide-rimmed bowl for making your noodles in.

Make your own instant noodles at Midnight Noodle Club

The first step: Choose your main character A.K.A your noodles! 

The store has a wide range of instant noodles, including well-loved Nissin’s Chu Qian Yi Ding, the popular Korean Shin Ramyun, Indomie, Thai Mama Noodles, Taiwanese beef noodles and many others. These noodles are priced according to three different coloured tags: Green (S$2.50), orange (S$3.50) and red (S$5.50). 

As someone who doesn’t eat much instant noodles, but only stocks one brand for emergencies, seeing the colourful wall full of various instant noodle packets made me feel like a child at a candy store — I wanted to try every single option!

If you’re like me, you’ll enjoy picking out a brand you’ve always wanted to try but never wanted to splurge on a whole five-pack of. In the end, I decided on Nongshim’s Neoguri for S$3.50 — thick udon noodles with a slightly spicy broth.

Step two: Level up with your toppings.

Be sure to carry your tray with you while you shop for ingredients. Items at Midnight Noodle Club are priced to be relatively affordable: Regular toppings — tofu, vegetables, crab sticks and their like — go for S$0.90 per serving while deluxe toppings — sous vide chicken, beef, abalone and their like — range from S$2 to S$6. There is however, a minimum of five toppings per order. 

It also has a condiment station, which is free-flow with a top-up of S$1.50. It includes items such as pickled radish, kimchi, spring onions, and a whole host of sauces and other garnishes.

Midnight Noodle Club also has a lifetime membership tier (S$18), which entitles members to free condiments and discounted price on its regular toppings (S$0.60). 

But, you’re in luck: Midnight Noodle Club is having an opening promotion till the end of August. You can enjoy all of its membership benefits and choose any number of toppings without any minimum quantity. 

Step three: Load up your noodles. Well, before that, you’ll have to pay at the counter first, of course! 

Once paid, you can start the fun part — pouring all your pre-packed toppings into the bowl and tearing open your chosen noodle packet. 

All you have to do is follow the instructions on the dispenser, according to how you like your noodles. If you’re making dry noodles, Midnight Noodle Club also provides a small sink and food strainer right next to the noodle-cooking machines. 

There is a timer on the machine, which lets you know when your hearty bowl of noodles and toppings are ready.

Once the countdown ends, you can enjoy an elevated bowl of your favourite comfort food!

Midnight Noodle Club is almost entirely self-serviced, so be a responsible diner and dispose of your trash as you exit. 

Unfortunately, the cute noodle-themed tote bag, keychain and soap featured on the brand’s Instagram were limited-edition and made for Midnight Noodle Club’s launch only. While we were there, we didn’t spot any dedicated merchandise.

If you’re planning a trip down to the eatery, we recommend going at odd hours, as it has a limited seating capacity. The cooking area can also feel quite cramped when it gets crowded, as there are only four machines available. If there are more than four people looking to make their food, the space gets a little tight.
