If you like your ramen with a local twist, this is for you.

Takagi Ramen has brought back its Chilli Crab and Salted Egg Crab Ramen on June 1, 2019.

Both are essentially traditional Hakata ramen with a Hokkaido soft-shell crab.

The Chill Crab (S$10.90) version has a tangy and spicy chilli crab sauce, while the Salted Egg (S$12.90) one has a creamy "Singapore-style" salted egg sauce.

Both ramen are served with roasted nori seaweed, spring onions, a lava egg, as well as a side bowl of tonkotsu (pork bone) soup.

Started by founders of The Real Singapore

Takagi Ramen was started by husband-and-wife duo Yang Kaiheng and Ai Takagi.

If their names sound familiar, that's because both were behind the seditious socio-political site, The Real Singapore, which is now defunct.

In 2016, Takagi was convicted of four charges of sedition, out of seven, with one more of failing to produce evidence to a police officer. She was sentenced to 10 months in jail. 

Her husband, Yang, was convicted of six sedition charges and was handed an eight-month jail term in the same year.

Takagi Ramen was started by Takagi and Yang in 2015 after their site was shut down.
