TAMPOPO

This month, Japanese restaurant Tampopo is offering the authentic, award-winning Tai Fish Ramen ($15.80), considered one of the lowest-calorie ramen in Japan and therefore a healthier choice.

Tai (red snapper) is credited as the best fish for making soup stock, so expect a golden, flavourful broth.

The noodles are thinner than regular ramen, and the toppings include nama-fu, a highly refined wheat gluten that tastes like mochi and pork char siew.

Acclaimed chef Kawase Yuya, who created the recipe and owns a chain of ramen restaurants in Japan, is on tour to promote the dish.

He will be in town from now to June 12.

Tampopo is the only vendor in South-East Asia to collaborate with him, and only 2,000 bowls will be sold exclusively at its outlets at Liang Court and Takashimaya from today.

GRAB

From now to June 17, have fun in the heart of Orchard Road without spending a cent at the World of GrabRewards, a first-of-its-kind carnival that lets you try your hand at winning a game of life-sized bowling, balloon darts and other carnival games.

Best of all, no cash is needed as you play with your GrabRewards points.

Entrance to the carnival is free, and you can play each game with just 50 GrabRewards points to earn tokens and redeem prizes. There are plenty of Instagram-worthy spots within the carnival grounds too.

The World of GrabRewards is open from 11am to 9.30pm daily at Ngee Ann City Civic Plaza (outside Takashimaya).

Held from now till July 8, the line-up consists of Street Art, Academy of Rock performances and Street Football, as well as the Asia Global Belly Dance Competition, Singapore National Kendama Competition and the Singapore & Asia Pacific Yoyo Competition.
