Ippon Fusion Bowl in Tampines has cheap Japanese rice bowls
For donburi lovers, a great stall selling tasty Japanese rice bowls under $5 sounds too good to be true, but that’s exactly what Ippon Fusion Bowl is. Located in Our Tampines Hub, their fusion-style donburi bowls feature buttermilk chicken, Chinese-style char siew, and healthy vegan options that don’t skimp on quality or quantity.

At just $2.80, you can get their Crispy Pork Lard Rice Bowl, which has golden brown pork lard, spring onions and fried shallots, sprinkled generously over premium Masshigura rice from Japan, and drizzled with Ippon Fusion Bowl’s secret sauce.
A healthier choice that favours noodle lovers and vegetarians is the similarly priced Meatless Noodle Bowl ($2.80). Here, springy ramen noodles are paired with spring onions, pickled vegetables, fried shallots, black fungus, and seaweed for a simple but filling meal.

Ippon Fusion Bowl’s signature dish is the Ippon Noodle Bowl that, at $6.50, is still pretty affordable. With their rich house-made pork stew as the base, grilled char siew, spring onions, pickled vegetables, fried shallots, black fungus, and seaweed are piled onto a large serving of noodles, and crowned with a runny onsen egg on top.

If you want a little more meat on your plate, zhng-up your dish with a variety of sides including Grilled Char Siew ($3), Tamagoyaki ($2), or an Onsen Egg ($1). Their char siew is marinated in-house for an hour with their secret sauce, then grilled to produce a savoury, smoky meat that’s said to melt in your mouth.
