Fisherman's Market comes to Singapore, at The Central

Fisherman's Market, a premium Japanese-Western seafood buffet restaurant is finally in Singapore, at The Central. The Japanese company that runs this brand has more than 110 food concepts all over the world.

I was invited for its media tasting last week and the first thing that struck me is the massive size of the restaurant. The two-storey restaurant takes up 10,000 sqft in total, and can seat a total of about 360 people.

Another impressive feature of the restaurant is that it boasts of a river view. Most "window seats" that restaurants offer don't really have a very good view, but what Fisherman's Market has is pretty good.

I invited Thaddeus to be my guest at the tasting. He has a blog too, do visit him and show him some love.

And here's me, looking slightly fatigued after a hard day's work.

Let me bring you around the restaurant and have a look at the spread it offers:

The above is the cheese fondue, an a la carte item at the restaurant. Simply make an order by placing pegs that are found on your table at the ordering counter, and the dish will be served hot to your table. The cheese fondue is also one of my favourites at the restaurant. The warm cheese seems to go really well with any food (yes, it's not just limited to the bread, broccoli and potato that it's served with!) so go on and try dipping other foods into it.

No self-respecting seafood restaurant is complete without a good spread of sushi and sashimi. These are made on-the-spot by native Itamae (or sushi chefs). If you're looking for fanciful or "creative" sushi, Fisherman's Market may not be the place to go to, but you'll definitely be satisfied by the all-time-favourites.

Another not-to-miss item at the spread is the DIY ice-cream. I know it sounds really ridiculous to some since ice-cream is not something that most people will look out for at a seafood buffet restaurant. The ice-cream is super creamy and soft and there are many different types of toppings available

By the way, if you're thinking of going for its buffet, remember it's only available for dinner, and it's priced at $39.90++ (Mon-Thu) and $49.90++ (Fri-Sat). At lunch, it offers an a la carte menu consisting of sandwiches and appetizers.

Fisherman's Market is located at #01-15 and #02-17 The Central.

My favourite ramen. Ever.

I'm a huge ramen fan and have scouted the entire Singapore for the best ramen. After many food trips, Marutama's ramen is still my all-time fave.

MY FAVOURITE RAMEN!!!

It's chicken-base soup that's thick, slightly creamy and not-too-salty. The soup is so delicious, I always drink it to the last drop. The ramen is chewy and char siew melts in your mouth.

Put some fried onions and sesame for more crunch.

You can also opt for an extra egg - which I will recommend. The egg is cold on the inside and is soft and goes well with the shoyu (soya sauce) that it's marinated with.

Irresistible goodness! 

Another recommendation is the grilled char siew - grilled to perfection and as you sink your teeth into it, you'll feel the oil escape from the layer of fats in the char siew.

Season it with lemon and dip it with red chilli powder for a more wholesome taste. It makes a great dish to share (although you'll be tempted to have it all for yourself!)


Marutama originates from Tokyo, so the food is really authentic. The interior also creates an ambience that reminds one of a little food store in Japan. It's located at The Central, Liang Court and United Square.
