Singapore Airlines Keisuke Lobster Ramen

Singapore Airlines to feature Ramen Keisuke's signature Japanese ramen

Singapore Airlines (SIA) has announced the unveiling of a six-month collaboration with Ramen Keisuke to serve its authentic Japanese ramen creations on selected SIA flights from October 1.

Founded by celebrity chef Keisuke Takeda, Ramen Keisuke is known for its signature ramen creations.

Customers can look forward to four Ramen Keisuke speciality dishes on rotation: Keisuke Tonkotsu Ramen, which features a creamy pork broth with sliced pork, cloud ear fungus and spring onion; Keisuke Lobster Ramen, which features a rich lobster broth with sliced chicken, bamboo shoot, cloud ear fungus, leek and yuzu; Keisuke Miso Ramen, which features a creamy miso flavoured pork broth with sliced pork, cloud ear fungus and spring onion; and Keisuke Niboshi Ramen, which features a smoky dried sardine and pork broth with sliced pork, fish cake, bamboo shoot and spring onion

SIA and Ramen Keisuke have come together to curate these dishes and ensure the authenticity of a traditional Japanese dish.

Many rounds of testing were conducted over a period of six months in Japan and Singapore to ensure that the original and authentic tastes of the ramen dishes are retained in the high-altitude conditions of an in-flight environment. For example, this included fine-tuning the recipe and blanching time to maintain the chewy texture of the ramen noodles, using sous vide cooking to ensure the tenderness of the chicken meat, and sourcing for high-quality ingredients such as pork from Spain.

The ramen dishes will be offered in Business Class on selected Japan routes and will be available via ?Book the Cook? for both First Class and Business Class customers on all routes, for selected flights departing Singapore.

Yeoh Phee Teik, senior vice president customer experience for the airline, said: ?We are excited to have this opportunity to delight our customers with Chef Keisuke?s well-loved, award-winning ramen creations.

?Meticulous attention was paid to every detail ? the texture of the noodles, richness of the broth, and quality of the ingredients used ? all to ensure that the bowl of ramen tastes as good in the air as it does in a Ramen Keisuke restaurant. This is representative of our dedication to continuously enhance our food and beverage offerings to provide customers with more memorable in-flight experiences.?

Keisuke Takeda, founder of Ramen Keisuke, said: ?For the first time, Ramen Keisuke?s signature ramens will be served to customers at 30,000 feet, bringing the taste of authentic Japanese comfort food from the ground to the air. We are honoured to have this exciting opportunity to feature our ramen on one of the best airlines in the world.?
