Fu-Men Japanese Udon & Donburi

Fu-Men Japanese Udon and Donburi stands as Singapore first halal-certified udon and donburi restaurant, located at 16 Raffles Quay basement 1 level 17 and 18 Hong Leong Building in the heart of the Central Business District. Helmed by the renowned Chef Teppei Yamashita, mastermind behind the prestigious Teppei brand, this innovative establishment specializes in authentic Hakata-style udon from Fukuoka, Japan, bringing traditional Japanese flavors to halal-conscious diners since April 2018. Operating Monday to Friday from 11 AM to 8 PM and Saturday from 10 AM to 3 PM and closed Sundays, Fu-Men offers a unique self-service dining experience where customers enjoy complimentary daily tea selections and collect their orders when buzzers ring. The restaurant signature Hakata udon features thinner, less chewy noodles compared to typical Sanuki-style udon, providing an authentic taste that is rarely found elsewhere in Singapore. Popular menu items include the unique Gobo Udon at 12 dollars, featuring Japanese burdock root with its distinctive crunchy texture and natural sweetness, Premium Beef Udon at 15 dollars, and various options like Chicken Udon, Ebi Ten or Prawn Tempura Udon, and Kitsune or Fried Sweet Tofu Udon. Their donburi selection features the intriguingly named STAMINA Don with beef, chicken, tendon, and egg, alongside classics like Beef Egg Donburi at 15 dollars, Chicken Katsu Don, Ebi Tendon at 17 dollars, Oyakodon at 13 dollars, and Curry Don. All portions are available in half sizes for lighter appetites, and diners can customize their meals with complimentary toppings including spring onions, tempura bits, chili powder, and seaweed strips. The restaurant halal certification stems from Chef Teppei realization that their authentic recipes naturally contained no pork, making the transition seamless while expanding accessibility to Muslim diners and diverse groups seeking quality Japanese cuisine in Singapore financial district.
