In the land of zi char and oh-so-good hawker food, boy, do Singaporeans love their wok hei — that distinct smokiness that a good chef and a well-seasoned wok can impart to a dish.

Woke Ramen, billed as Singapore’s first wok hei ramen, has opened its doors at Changi Airport, just above the Departures area at Terminal 1.

Read on for the details, plus a limited-time one-for-one promo for ramen lovers!

The food

Launched in January, this Chinese-Japanese fusion eatery joins a bevy of concepts under catering giant Neo Group.

Here, Chinese la mian noodles are used instead of the usual Japanese ramen. These are then stir-fried and tossed vigorously in a wok before being drenched in broth.

Diners can choose between two types of base soups — chicken collagen and prawn paste. There’s a variety of combinations, each with a ramen egg, black fungus and spring onions.

HungryGoWhere liked the chicken chashu collagen ramen (S$13.90), which had a lighter broth that showcased the smoky wok hei of the noodles well, and seafood mix prawn ramen (S$18.90). This included tiger prawns, scallops and prawn paste balls, in addition to a rich and gao (thick) broth.

For an extra S$5.50, you can round out your bowl of ramen with a set meal of a side dish and drink. Take your pick from the likes of mentaiko fries (S$4.50), chicken karaage (S$4.50), Woke gyoza (S$4.50) and more.
