Foodie Review: Ramen Keisuke Tonkotsu King Four Seasons @ Bugis Village

If you haven't tried one of the several chains of ramen restaurants under the "Keisuke" brand, you must have been living under a rock. It was also not our first time visiting Ramen Keisuke Tonkotsu King Four Seasons at Bugis Village. And what a mouthful for a restaurant name. Well...there is a reason for this. The menu for this restaurant consists of ramen named after the four seasons. This time round, I ordered the Tonkotsu Ramen Autumn ($12.90), while Momo Dear ordered Tonkotsu Ramen King with her favourite Japanese soft-boiled egg ($15.90).

What's so special about this chain of ramen restaurants is that they provide extra side dishes on the house. These include hard-boiled eggs and beansprouts. These were really one of the tastiest beansprouts I ever had! And it's free! Also, you can even try grinding some sesame seeds to be added to your ramen for that extra aroma and flavour. All of these are of no extra charge. That's super awesome right?

You can have all these for free!

Another thing to mention is that you would be given a piece of order slip to determine which ramen you want out of the 5 choices available: spring, summer, autumn, winter and king. Then there are other options like whether you want any toppings such as seaweed, flavoured egg or special (meaning all toppings). Then next you can choose the various intensities of the taste of the soup (light, normal, strong), the chicken oil used (less oil, normal, more oil) and the noodle texture (hard, normal, soft), depending on your preference. Lastly you can choose whether you want spring onion, pork chashu or black fungus. With all these preferences depending on what you choose, you can customize a very unique taste of ramen for your enjoyment.


The Tonkotsu Ramen Autumn I had had the rich and thick flavour of tonkotsu (pig bones) and you could tell that they had spent many hours to prepare that broth for our enjoyment. The aroma that permeated the air around us added to the wonderful experience. I usually opt for spring onions to give that extra onion-y flavour to enhance the overall taste of the broth.

Tonkontsu King with Egg ($15.90)

Both Dear and I had been to this outlet before and we would definitely visit many more times since we both loved the ramen we had so far. However, we both felt that amongst all their branches, Keisuke Tokyo @ Suntec City was by far the most memorable one. And most of the time, Japanese ramen won't go wrong. But of course there are some which we told ourselves never to go back again. That's a minority of course.
