Its my first visit here and i must say i've never knew the place was so big. There's plenty of seats if you venture to the inner part of the restaurant. Every diner is issued with a smart card which your purchases will be scanned onto, pretty similar to marche style.

Spent some time walking around and i can see every stall has its unique ramen offering different soup base, different ingredients etc, truly a ramen town.

I ordered the taishoken version since i'm fond of unconventional ramen aka non soup based ramen. My set is called Tsukemen Deluxe. You are given a beeper while waiting for your food to be ready. Only when your beeper is activated do you need to return to the stall to collect your food. Basically you are served a bowl of noodle and sauce separately. There is actually quite a bit of steps to follow so here goes.

1. First you taste the dipping base sauce to see if its too salty
2. Add some plain soup to lighten the taste
3. Top up some red pepper powder if desired
4. dip the ramen noodles in the sauce
5. soak it for 1 to 2 seconds then eat it
6. then also try the noddles without dipping into the sauce

The sauce bowl will also contain your pork slices and bamboo shoots and japanese green onions. I must say its quite fun to eat like this. On the other hand, it does taste a little like the can 红烧肉. The noodles were thicker than the usual ramen but still thinner than udon of course. My meal cost $18 and i also ordered extra shrimp gyozas for $5.

The highlight of the meal, on the bad note, was that i was charged extra one bowl of noodles. Apparently one of the card that was issued to us had an unpaid meal, so be warned to always check your receipt. Fortunately i spotted it and it prevented me from paying additional $15.

Heh yes this place definitely follows the concept of marche.. it brings together several top ramen restaurants to a marche like environment where people can use an electronic card to order what they want and pay at the gate before they leave the restaurant. Still in his ramen craze mood so i brought angmokia here.. I had ramen myself too but i opted for quite special one where you can have your noodles either hot or cold and you dip it into a soup before you eat it.. a bit like soba style.. and

I had ramen myself too but i opted for quite special one where you can have your noodles either hot or cold and you dip it into a soup before you eat it.. a bit like soba style.. and it also had a small bowl of clear soup at the side.. i think it is for if you think it is too salty.. but it really taste like hot water.


Works well for me who don't really like to eat a lot of noodle. Mine was from the Taishoken restaurant which invented the tsukemen--a broth made from pork, chicken and anchovies. I would say the soup taste more of chilli and sesame oil to me.. but still flavourful.

Angmokia's ramen was very big portion and value for money because it came with big slices of chashu, bean sprouts, egg and mushroom.. wheres mine came with no egg and 2 small miserly chashu. HIs soup broth was also very thick and creamy.. definitely much more tasty! His was the sapporo ramen.

I think given the different variety of ramen available there we will be back for more!

Ramen Champion! totally worthy of that title. My goodness I did not expect the bowl to be that huge it's as big as my husband's hand.

Japanese Charsiew rice , how unique, we often eat charsiew local versions, the sauce that paired together with the well cooked tender meat, garnished by sesame seeds/seaweed/etc. pearl rice portion was generous too. couldn't fault anything.

service staff auntie was very friendly too. totally made our day.

the only bad part about it is we really struggled to finish eating everything. don't waste food.

The concept of Ramen Champion is good: there are a number of stalls selling ramen. Each stall is selling their own specialites and there are no repetition. Even if they are selling gyoza, there are stall selling chicken gyoza and the other pork gyoza.

This is from Gantetsu. The soup is very different like what is on the menu "Special Miso Ramen". Serves with few pieces of char siew, 1 egg and seaweed.

Ramen Champion offers you a great variety of ramen as there are many top ramen stalls located in it. I forgot what's the stall name which I tried (its located all the way to the back on the left hand side). I love their soup base! My colleague ordered from Bario - really huge serving with lots of vegetables on top of your ramen. The price of the ramen is quite reasonable given the generous serving from each stall.

Tried the Miso King Cha Shu Ramen here which has a really nice milky miso soup base that is slurp worthy together with nice chewy QQ noodles. The soup base, although was miso based, wasn't too overly oily or salty for my liking. It also comes with 3 generous large pieces of cha shu, a large seaweed square, fresh wood ear and perfect ramen eggs- cooked egg whites with perfect runny egg yolks. Highly recommend trying this hearty bowl of ramen!

I tried Aoyama yesterday. I ordered a Cha Shu Ramen, but it turned out they miss putting the Cha Shu ( I did ask if the noodle is the one ordered when I took it). When I tried the noodles, there's no meat and I returned to ask for the Cha Shu, I was only given a small slice..... and there were 1 and 1/2 eggs.... strange....I did try another one before Tai Sho Ken, that one is better....

Tried the Cha Shu Ramen. The soup is black so it may not look appetising. As the stalls are all catered to the Japanese taste, some of the soups may be too salty so they provide a bowl of clear soup so you can just add it to your ramen if you feel that it's too salty. If you're a ramen lover, you won't regret coming here. The cha shu was very soft. The meat to fat ratio was just nice so it didn't feel too fatty or too hard to bite.

The cha shu was very soft. The meat to fat ratio was just nice so it didn't feel too fatty or too hard to bite. The egg was also perfectly cooked, with the yolk still runny inside. But what i really like from the dish is the ramen itself. Some places tend to overcook the noodles, making it soggy. But here, the noodles are cooked nicely. I enjoyed the food here and will come back soon to try the other stalls in ramen champion.

After pondering through the menus and descriptions of each individual outlets, I decided to choose BARIO - The filling,
manly ramen! Nyx also ordered from the same outlet as me.
Nyx ordered the normal size bowl while I had the half bowl. As I disliked eating hard cabbages and beansprouts, I
requested them to be removed, to save the trouble of me picking them out. The first thing I did was to drink a spoonful
of soup. At first, it certainly was extremely thick and flavorful and we enjoyed it. However, prolonged drinking caused
our throats to get slightly irritated. (I added some spices and plenty of chopped garlic to boost the flavour even more.)
As for Nyx, the whole bowl of ramen made him really bloated because the ramen noodles were not those usual ones but
were rather broad, thick and chewy. (Luckily I took the half bowl!)
Forgot to mention, the half bowl of ramen which I ordered did not have any flavoured egg in it. I ordered one separately,
found it irresistible (the runny yolk!) and decided to add on another. Even the bowl had the 'nan' (male) word slowly
revealing itself as I drank up the soup. I would want to go back to Ramen Champion again to try out the ramens from
other outlets.

Never try before this kind of the sweeter gravy for ramen and was really impressed with it. Lots of crunchy sweetcorns are topped on the generous portion of ramen which the most delicious part about this ramen is the sweet thick gravy that topped on it. The half sliced egg is tasty and not that salty too. With the added of the chopped sprion onions on it, it make the appearance even more colourfull and also enhance the taste of the ramen dish as well.

I am probably one of the last foodies to visit Ramen Champion at Bugis Iluma. The concept from Komars Group is to house together 6 of the best ramen restaurants in Japan to battle for the ultimate Ramen Champion 2011. These 6 ramen restaurants namely, Gantetsu, Menya Iroha, Ikkousha, Tai-Sho-Ken, Tetsu and Bario have been trying to win their diner's votes since July 2011. The ultimate winner by 30 Jun 2012 will be invited to setup a restaurant in Singapore.I only get to try 2 out of the 6 ramen

I am probably one of the last foodies to visit Ramen Champion at Bugis Iluma. The concept from Komars Group is to house together 6 of the best ramen restaurants in Japan to battle for the ultimate Ramen Champion 2011. These 6 ramen restaurants namely, Gantetsu, Menya Iroha, Ikkousha, Tai-Sho-Ken, Tetsu and Bario have been trying to win their diner's votes since July 2011. The ultimate winner by 30 Jun 2012 will be invited to setup a restaurant in Singapore.

I only get to try 2 out of the 6 ramen restaurants at Ramen Champion since there were only my partner and me. We took quite a while to decide but eventually settled for Menya Iroha and Bario. Upon ordering, you will be given a circular alerting device. Once the ramen is ready, the device will vibrate and you can proceed to collect your ramen.

Being named consecutive champion in Tokyo for 2009 and 2010, the Black Shoyu Ramen from Menya Iroha is a must try for me. This is also a first for me to have this type of black shoyu broth. The Negitama Ramen came in a clear black shoyu sauce with thin curly noodles, leek, egg, char siew, bamboo shoots and seaweed.

didn't know the black shoyu broth tasted so good! I am definitely won over by it. No wonder it has been consecutive champion in 2009 and 2010. The flavourful broth has a rich soya sauce sweetness with a tad of sesame aroma. I also like the fact that the broth didn't give me a greasy after taste.

The Bario offers Jirokei (Jiro style) ramen. The Futomen (thick and heavy noodles) looks like the thicker version of mee pok are made from bread flour. The Bario Ramen stands out in its portion with a generous serving of noodles and bean sprouts. The broth has a spicy aroma and sweet garlic taste but I find it a bit greasy. The thick char siew slices that melted in the mouth was the winner for me.

Last few days ago, my friend and I went to bugis. We decided to go for ramen as the weather were too cold and the weather kept raining.This was my second time pay a visit to the Ramen Champion. This time, I tried the spicy kimuchi ramen. The ramen texture was nice while the soup was a little bit too salty for me. The kimchi tasted nice also. The combination of these ingridents gave a very harmonice taste. Will visit Ramen Champion again and try new dish.

Went to try out the black soy sauce ramen from Ramen Champion. It is definitely a disappointing meal because the ramen just tasted so salty that you could barely finish it. I ordered this ramen as it looked quite different from those ordinary ramen, but yet i got disappointed with the taste. Besides that, it is also quite pricey because the portion served is quite small. Definitely won't recommend this to my friend.
