うどんと言えば。

うどんファンではないんですが、いろいろ好評が耳にされましたので参りました ― たも屋うどんシンガポールLiang Court支店!

人気のかけうどんとお勧めの讃岐うどんとどちらにしようかなあと結構悩んだら、味付けの軽いほうのかけうどんにしました。あっさりとしたクリアゴールデンスープ、コシのあるうどん。一口だけで、大好評の理由がすぐわかってしまいました。笑

たも屋特選小麦粉を使用、たも屋職人手作りのうどんだそうです。噛み切るのに力が必要ですが硬くはなく、弾性率も粘性率も良いうどんでした。

Tamoya Udon - a Japanese restaurant famous for their Sanuki Udon - so I went to check out their cosy outlet at Liang Court basement. After a long debate with my stomach on whether I should try the popular Kake Udon or their specialty Sanuki Udon, I decided to go with the lightly flavoured kake udon. Delicious clear golden soup and pleasantly chewy udon. I could understand why it received good ratings just at first bite ^^ did i mention that their udon is specially handcrafted by Tamoya udon specialty chefs and made from carefully selected ingredients?




薬味はネギ、天かす、大根おろし、梅干、しょうが、わさび、レモン等色々ありますが、これらは全てご自由にお楽しみ頂けるのです!

チキンカツ用の白ゴマだと思いますが、ゴマ大好きですので少し入れてみました^^

amongst the free flow toppings were spring onions, tempura bits, daikon, umeboshi, ginger, wasabi, lime, tempura sauce, tonkatsu sauce, sesame seeds and more! i guess the sesame seeds are meant to go with the chicken katsu but as someone who likes sesame seeds... i added a bit of them into my udon ^^ 




脂っこいものは食べないほうのですが、お客様みんな天かす大盛りなのを見てしまったら自分も取ってしまいました。笑 何もかけずそのまま食べたら、ぱりぱりでもなかったし、油しか味わえなく全然美味しくなかったが、スープに入れて軟らかくなってから食べると染み込まれたスープの旨みが出てきて本当美味しかったです!

deep fried food are not my thing at all but upon seeing the mountains of tempura bits that all the other customers buried their udons with, i knew i had to try at least some. after taking a small bowl of it and tasting it plain by itself, i was quite disappointed at the loss of crispiness in the bits. also, they were oily and tasted like nothing (not that i was expecting much from tempura bits, i probably just wasnt aware of how to eat them right ;3) and so, i tried putting them into the udon soup, letting them bathe in the lightly flavoured soup, turn soft. before tasting them again. ah.... the burst of delicious broth through the soft tempura bits. pretty lovely actually. i would have them again if not for the calories and nil-nutritional value x)




普段Regularサイズは4.80ドルで、Largeは6.80ドルのですが、行った時はちょうどプロモーションが行われてたのでRegularを無料でLargeにアップサイズしてくださいました!本当、お買い得でしたv

美味しいうどんをありがとうございました。優しい言葉も、ありがとう^^

a regular sized kake udon costs $4.80 while a large costs $6.80 before GST (no service charge). however, they were having a free-upsize promotion when i went thus a large bowl of udon costed me $5.20nett (including GST). what a bargain ^^ Though im not an udon fan, it was a pleasant visit to Tamoya and i must say it has retained the authentic Japanese taste in its Singapore branch (comparable to those udons i've tried in Japan ^^).

Thank you Tamoya for the lovely udon.

Thank you also, for the heartwarming words... ^^
