my new fav udon spot 🍜🤤✨

📍Umai Artisanal Udon Bar (@umai.sg)

finally got to try @umai.sg after eyeing their noodles since forever!!! if you’re an udon lover, this is definitely one to add to your list 🥹🍜!

they specialise in artisanal udon with both classic and creative flavours, and there are 2 types of udon to try — Sanuki (thin & smooth) and Hoto (broad & flat). my personal pick will definitely be the Hoto as i LOVE how chewy their noodles are; sooo satisfying 😋😋!

here’s what we tried:

🥓 𝐁𝐚𝐫𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐞 𝐓𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐨 ($𝟏𝟓): each piece, with a nice char was fatty, juicy, smoky!

🍤 𝐄𝐛𝐢 𝐌𝐚𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐚𝐢𝐬𝐞 ($𝟏𝟑): juicy prawns coated in a creamy mayo sauce!

🍝 𝐒𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐌𝐢𝐬𝐨 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐛𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐫𝐚 ($𝟏𝟗): the star of the show!! one of their signatures and definitely for the creamy noodle lovers!! the sauce was rich, creamy and savoury! it also came w/ a 72-hour slow-cooked black pork, which was so tender and delicious. I LOVE THIS SO MUCH.

🍜 𝐓𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐮𝐫𝐚 𝐇𝐢𝐲𝐚𝐬𝐡𝐢 ($𝟏𝟔): surprisingly also SO GOOD! i loved the contrast of the cold, chewy udon with crispy tempura! refreshing and light, but the chilled katsuo tsuyu sauce hits the spot w/ umaminess! I LOVEEE.

🥃 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐚 𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐛𝐚𝐥𝐥 ($𝟏𝟎) & 🍸 𝐋𝐲𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐞 𝐆𝐢𝐧𝐣𝐲𝐨 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐢 ($𝟏𝟎): both were really nice and honestly such a steal at just $10 each!!

overall, their udon really impressed — i especially loved the thick and chewy noodle texture 🍜✨!

they currently have 2 outlets — Guoco Midtown & Lentor Modern! go check them out for your next udon craving 🫶~
