Miharu Ramen

Following our previous blog post about Gallery Hotel, we decided to grab lunch here at Miharu Ramen. This ramen stall is situated at Gallery Hotel. Miharu Ramen holds its reputation as one of the best ramen stall in Singapore.

Miharu Ramen is a Sapporo style Japanese ramen. Miharu is famous for its springy ramen noodles and deep soup base.

The friendly staff at Miharu gave us the menu

Miharu's menu is segregated by miso flavour, shoyu flavour and shio flavour.

We ordered Tokusen Shoyu Ramen and Tokusen Shio Ramen. Both pork flavoured soup base, Sapporo style!

The Miharu Tokusen Shoyu Ramen has a thick rich soup base, both oily and salty but this is the style of Sapporo ramen. The shoyu (soy sauce) masks some of the original taste of the pork soup quite a bit.

We prefer the Miharu Tokusen Shio Ramen similarly has a rich pork flavoured soup base. You can taste the original soup flavour more on the shio ramen.

The springy Sapporo ramen noodles was more of the highlight for us. The noodles are much thicker as opposed to the Hakata style Ippudo Ramen at Mandarin Gallery.

The gyoza at Miharu was surprisingly nice as compared to many other disappointing gyoza at other ramen stalls.

Miharu Ramen, although serves authentic Sapporo ramen did not impress us as much as Santouka Ramen did (You can read our Santouka Ramen review here).

However, if you like Japanese ramen as we do, you must definitely check out Miharu Ramen at Gallery Hotel. Based on its reputation as one of the best ramen in Singapore, ramen lovers are obliged to try this stall at least once.

Gallery Hotel - The Avant Garde Hotel

Gallery Hotel always captivates our attention with its avant garde building design. There are hoardes of hotels in Singapore, what makes Gallery Hotel so unique. Hugo Wolf and Jolly Rosa finds out!

At first glance inside the room of Gallery Hotel, it follows the colorful theme of the hotel as with the exterior design.

The hotel room although not big, but spacious enough.

The LCD tv in the hotel room is a small 32 inch.

The bathroom's design is sleek and follows the avant garde Gallery Hotel style.

They managed to squeeze a bathtub in the pretty restricted space in the bathroom. Forgot to mention, this is the Gallery Hotel glazzhaus room. Hence the bathtub.

The glazzhaus room with bathtub is slightly expensive compared to the normal deluxe room rates that is below $200.

For the glazzhaus room offer, all the drinks in the mini bar are complimentary of Gallery Hotel.

Right out of our hotel room window, the Gallery hotel swimming pool awaits!

The Gallery hotel swimming pool is kind of 'detached' from the hotel rooms, you have to walk down and across to get to the pool.

There is something unique about the swimming pool at Gallery Hotel..

Let's explore other parts of the swimming pool.

The swimming pool counter, though its always empty. Self service!

You get the nice view of the whole Gallery Hotel building from the pool..

or Miramar Hotel on the opposite..

Gallery Hotel is not crowded most of the time. Not a lot of hotel guest, like this evening, we were the only ones left at the swimming pool after a while.

Hugo & Rosa having a nice time enjoying the privacy.

After a day of fun at the pool, the tired sheep and wolf knocked themselves out on the bed.

We had a great stay at Gallery Hotel. Located at Robertson Quay, there are a great deal of restaurants, bar and happening places around.


The rooms are comfy, the location is good, there's a nice pool, great privacy and all of these comes in an affordable price package.

Brewerkz Singapore - Brewerkz Riverside Point

Jolly Wolf and Frederic Fox are at Brewerkz Riverside Point. Brewerkz Singapore is an award winning microbrewery restaurant. Our previous Clarke Quay Singapore entry mentioned that we will visit Brewerkz and here we are.

This is the view of Singapore River from Brewerkz Riverside Point sitting at the alfresco on a lazy Sunday afternoon.

Brewerkz Singapore is a microbrewery restaurant, which means they have humongous barrels in the shop to brew their own beer.

Brewerkz Singapore occupies a massive stretch of shop houses at Riverside Point, the place is huge and can occupy hundreds of people, the biggest Brewerkz outlet in Singapore.

What beer do both of you wanna order? They have a wide selection of beer at Brewerkz compared to Paulaners Singapore where you only have dark beer or lager.

You can always ask the waiter what is the beer of the week and get additional discount for it. Beer of the week is steam beer today, not what we wanted, so we went on to order the great India Pale Ale and the popular Brewekz choice - Golden Ale.

Our Brewerkz beer came in a minute, talk about efficient service. The beer at Brewerkz Riverside Point cost different at different timings, to know more you can refer to the pdf file here.

Frederic Fox quickly jumped on top of the Golden Ale beer claiming his drink.

The beer on the left in a lighter color is the Golden Ale and the beer on the right is the India Pale Ale. Golden Ale is more of a sweet malt beer while India Pale Ale is a stronger bitter malt beer. Both are tasty beer and the most popular choices at Brewerkz.

Jolly Wolf and Frederic Fox came at the time where beer is cheapest at Brewerkz. From 12 to 3pm everyday, a pint (500ml) of Golden Ale only cost $6 and the India Pale Ale cost $7.

Nothing beats a cold refreshing beer on a Sunday afternoon sitting by the riverside of Clarke Quay.

Jolly Wolf and Frederic Fox will work for beer! We want to work for Brewerkz Singapore and get to drink beer by the riverside everyday!

Brewerkz Singapore is definitely a great place for a good Ale at a very reasonable price (depending on your time of visit). If you are there for the first time, order the Golden Ale, it will be hard not to like for its sweet refreshing taste.
