    It has come to our attention that many have allowed the word "Chashu" affect their judgementation on whether the product is Halal or not. Be assured that the "Chashu" here is made of chicken, as witnessed from the production team. Please also understand that the term "Chashu" does not strictly have to be pork, and is simply a name to keep it as original as possible. As unbelievable as it may be, this "Chashu" is made with chicken.

      Cha-Shu means Forked Roast in Chinese. People are so used to associate the term with pork that many mistaken it for a pork product. Bacon is a salted and smoked curing process with fatty meat, but also presumed to be pork as well. When you really understand the name, you'll realize the food association is a social attachment. I go crazy whenever I take a friend to a Buddhist Restaurant and they still ask "Is this meat?"

      They should add word "chicken" to chashu, it can be confusing to some people because generally chashu made from pork

    Ive never seen someone manage a restaurant so cleanly and precisely.

      Actually most of the task is the restaurant manager responsibility (been in the line of work, so I'm familiar with the SOP).. It's usually applied at franchise restaurant where they have QA check in every 3 months.. The results must passed the threshold set or you will face the consequences such as salary cut, extra working hours.. Therefore we must check the cleanliness of the restaurant, the staff work, the food taste to ensure they follow all the SOP from HQ.. and of course help out service crew and kitchen crew.. But I must say, we did not have 1 step where he clean his cloth with roller, I'm amaze by that..

    I'm Christian but I have many Muslim friends and I have always been surrounded by the wonderful muslim people. Visiting Singapore made me realise how friendly Singaporeans are. Many religions living together. Living in europe is hard for muslims to find good halal places. When I went to singapore i was so happy that a lot of places (even fast food chains) were halal bcs it made me think of my friends and how happy they would be to eat without having to worry if something was halal. Next time, after covid, I will visit with my friends! Love & peace

      His comeback is as swift as a samurai's strike: zero hesitation, deceptively gentle yet dead accurate. Moral of the story: if a boss were genuinely honest with himself, then the staff would be confident enough to be honest with him. The trouble with a lot of local bosses in Singapore? Experts at 'tai-chi' & never leading by example so, if you're gonna be full of 'wayang' then it shouldn't surprise you when your staff is also an expert at plum pudding your balls instead of getting you actual, tangible results.

I prefer that compared to the tomato broth option. Oh, and they have a newly open outlet at Arab Street, literally right outside of the Sultan Mosque. So far, I've only tried them at the Paya Lebar and Arab Street outlet and I'd say it's good. Best to go for their ramen compared to the donburi as I feel that's what they're known for and I tried the Donburi and it was just alright, nothing amazing. But, recently, I tried the seafood ramen with the seafood broth and it was good though if I'm not mistaken, it was around the $17 range, but it's definitely worth it, especially if you are looking for a good halal ramen option.

    First of all, thank you for putting a spotlight on this restaurant and this wonderful person. Your work is appreciated sethlui.
    Secondly, I hope you may pass on these words to Mr Shogo Hamano. We are the same age and I have been managing korean restaurants for quite some time now. My next career goal is to be an operations manager just like him and challenge myself to handle few outlets. Watching him here has been an inspiration and he became my role model. Such great leadership and I especially like his communication style. I can feel the mutual respect between him and his crew.
    Being quarantined at home and watching him and the passion he has for his job has once again awaken the passion I have for the fnb culture. Thank you shogo hamano for inspiring me. Also seeing through the eyes of a foreigner loving Singapore has made me love Singapore all over again.
    Good job guys! 👏🏼👏🏼

      He is working in a Halal Restaurant with Muslims and non-Muslims as workers and then there are Muslim and Non-Muslim customers too. Perhaps these engagements make him feel fulfilled, to be his authentic self to different kinds of people. That's the difference perhaps from Japan where he is always expected to behave a certain way. In Singapore perhaps he can relax.

    Japanese always honest and do their job wonderfully. I had this experience once in my city at a ramen shop where the owner/manager is from Japan. He greets the customer cheerfully, helps the staff to serve their customer, do the manager job desc, etc. He never cross his arm and be bossy around his staff, in fact he did a better job than any native manager imo. I mean, we have tendency to slacking off when we are abroad and nobody is from our country, but Japanese people bring their professionalism everywhere. Watching this video reminds me of that Japanese owner at the ramen shop I visited last week and that's why I really respect Japanese people
