Ramen in Singapore: Broths, Prices and Egg Upgrades
A useful ramen decision starts with the soup, not the biggest topping pile. Keisuke at Capitol lists pork tonkotsu and chicken-stock shoyu bowls; Tori King at 100AM builds its menu around chicken broth. Here is how to order without turning a bowl into an unnecessarily expensive set.

Capitol: only want an egg? Skip the special
The official Capitol menu lists Tonkotsu Ramen at S$14.90, the flavoured-egg version at S$17.40 and the special at S$23.40. If the egg is what you want, the upgrade is S$2.50, not the S$8.50 jump to the special. Extra noodles, or kaedama, cost S$3.
Prefer another base? Tokyo Shoyu Ramen is S$13.90 and described as soy-based chicken stock. Prices are before the stated service charge and GST. Check the Capitol menu; the branch is at 13 Stamford Road, #B1-35 and takes walk-ins.
Tori King: the chicken-broth option
At 100AM in Tanjong Pagar, Tori King’s chicken ramen starts at S$13.90, or S$16.40 with a flavoured egg. The restaurant describes a rich chicken broth, so chicken does not automatically mean a light soup.
Compare its menu if you want a chicken-led bowl rather than pork tonkotsu. Broth and toppings are separate decisions: a chicken base is not evidence of halal certification, and taking meat off a bowl does not make its stock vegetarian.
Soup ramen or dipping noodles?
If the menu says tsukemen, the noodles and dipping broth arrive separately. Dip a mouthful at a time rather than pouring the whole sauce bowl over the noodles. It is a different eating format, not simply a bowl with less soup.
The archival photograph shows that arrangement at Menya Musashi in Singapore in 2016. It illustrates the format only, not a current Keisuke dish or a claim that the photographed outlet still serves that plate.
Check the included extras before adding sides
Capitol currently advertises complimentary hard-boiled eggs and beansprouts. Those eggs are different from the paid flavoured egg. It also lists one free kids’ ramen for each regular bowl, for children aged 3–10; confirm the offer at the branch.
Start with the ramen you actually want. Add a side because you want that dish, not because every order has to become a set.
