Journey appears a reasonably great distance off the best way issues are going… However we shouldn’t let that get us down okay! We’re truly actually fortunate that today, we will get flavours from anyplace on the planet proper right here in Singapore. Let’s take Udon for instance… Not solely can we discover an genuine model but additionally – it’s licensed HALAL too!
Working example – Fu-Males Udon. The finest Udon we’ve ever had the pleasure of attempting is (not surprisingly) from Japan. However image this – 2 Japanese gents open up a Halal-certified eatery specializing in Udon. In my books, that’s about as shut as you may get with out truly hopping on a aircraft am I proper or am I proper?
At Fu-Males Udon, they specialise in ‘Hakata’ Udon which has its origins in Fukuoka, Japan ??
An ingredient that’s attribute of Hakata Udon is Gobo (牛蒡) also referred to as Burdock Root. Right here, they coat the Gobo in Tempura batter and provides it that #DeepFriedGoodness therapy. This turns into the crowning glory in your bowl of Udon noodles swimming in that hearty broth.
The Udon noodles listed below are just a bit bit thinner than the one we loved in Tokyo (so far as I can keep in mind LOL) however they nonetheless have that nice chew and slurp issue. The Dashi broth additionally appears a bit lighter with this Hakata Udon however undoubtedly nonetheless tasty. However the standard suspects like Tempura bits, seaweed and that attractive Onsen Egg are current and accounted for.
The Gobo Udon will be the signature dish at Fu-Males however there are fairly a couple of others you may contemplate. The Beef Udon is extremely beneficial! Or maybe the Ebi Ten (Prawn Tempura), Maruten (Japanese Fish Cake), Kitsune (Fried Candy Tofu), Rooster or Seaweed Udon could also be extra up your alley? They also have a Plain Udon (which can be nice for the youngsters!) too.
However talking of beef…
I believe the Beef may be one of many tastiest issues on your complete menu at Fu-Males! Fortunately, it’s accessible as a part of a number of dishes and in addition as a separate aspect order. Should you’re a lover of beef, belief me – order extra of the meat 😛
The Beef Tsukemen Udon is kinda like a dry model of Udon. As a substitute of the Dashi broth, you get a Tsuyu sauce (kinda like a soy sauce) which you dip your noodles into and revel in. Rooster and Plain variations of the Tsukemen Udon are additionally accessible. (Looks as if acquired Smoked Duck additionally but it surely was not accessible on the menu).
Irrespective of when you’re not within the temper for noodles. They’ve a collection of Donburi in your consideration at Fu-Males too! I even have a giant factor for Donburi so the following time I go to, I’m going to make it some extent to have a pleasant huge bowl.
The Beef Egg Donburi looks like it was a giant hit. I do know this as a result of it was actually gone in 60 seconds LOL Okay lah perhaps not so quick but it surely was very evident that it was very a lot loved. Prime of my checklist to attempt is the Rooster Katsu Don. Different Donburi contains Ebi Tendon, Oyakodon and Curry Don.
Oh wait. Scratch my earlier assertion in regards to the Rooster Katsu Don. Prime of my checklist is now formally one thing known as ‘STAMINA’ Don LOL It seems to have a little bit of all the pieces as a topping together with Beef, Rooster, Tendon, Egg and who is aware of what else 😀
PS for all of the mains, you have got the choice of ordering a ‘Half’ portion in case you’re not feeling that hungry!
Aspect dishes galore to go together with your mains. Nice for sharing in fact!
The Maruten (aka Fried Fish Cake) is on the market as each a aspect dish and in addition a topping on one of many Udon choices by the best way. And when you couldn’t get sufficient of that Burdock Tempura, that’s on the menu as a aspect too. The Kakiage was not on the official menu so it was a pleasant shock.
Different aspect dishes you may be embody further servings of beef/hen, Onsen Egg, Rooster Karaage (which I kinda remorse not ordering simply now) and even Inari Sushi amongst others.
I believe there’s sufficient stuff on the menu at Fu-Males that can make you need to hold going again. There’s a excessive likelihood you’ll find yourself ordering the identical factor time and again when you’ve discovered your favorite although as a result of the meals is definitely actually very tasty. It’s worthy to notice that the costs are just a little on the premium aspect however then once more let’s not neglect the situation of this eatery. However on the brilliant aspect, the meals is genuinely tasty and you’ll inform the substances used are of a very good high quality.
The geniuses behind Fu-Males are Yamashita Teppei and Toshihiro Munemori. It’s a small and humble eatery however I fairly preferred it. It was solely our first go to and we sampled solely a small handful of dishes however I can actually really feel the hassle and sincerity they put forth of their meals.. in eager to impart their meals tradition to us.
I don’t know after I’ll get to take pleasure in Udon in Japan once more.. however till then I’m actually glad that I do know the place I can get the true factor proper right here ❤️
