Udon Shin from Shinjuku in Singapore

Carbonara Udon

This highly-rated udon shop from Tokyo has only two outlets globally, and that second one is here in Singapore of all places (391 Orchard Road #B2-32). It's naturally been drawing huge lines that have been so ridiculous that I have not been willing to wait for it. It turns out though that it was a breeze getting in on a Monday just before their 5 PM opening hour.

They offered a number of configurations that I wanted to try, including their tempura add-ons. But I went for that carbonara above given how unique it was. And it was pretty good given not just the quality of those extra thick and chewy noodles, but also the savory base mixed in with the cheese, butter, and egg. Yes, it's a big step up from Tamoya and Tsuru-koshi.
