Apparently Marugane Udon is known to be the No. 1 udon noodles restaurant chain in the world! It is located at B4 of ION Orchard, with a seating of 30-40 pax. There is a dedicated aisle for ordering and collection. So you'll place order, wait for a few minutes while your food is prepared. Once prepared, choose to add on some tempura and drinks and make payment. There is also a seasonings corner where you get to add coriander, spring onions, grated ginger, wasabi and tempura bits (at no additional charge).

The Pork Udon in Spicy Miso Soup ($11.90 nett) is nothing like the miso soup base we are used to when eating ramen. I found the soup a little salty on the first taste, but gradually got used to it. They are pretty generous with the sliced pork (fried in spicy sauce and onions). Interestingly, they serve lady's fingers and broccoli with the udon! And the udon noodles were really chewy.

Oh, for those with larger appetite, you may opt for the large bowl ($13.70).
