Since opening his stall in Eating World food court (RIP) in 2009, Mori Higashida has obtained a cult following for his collagen-heavy tonkotsu broth.

The ramen expert relocated a block down the road in 2023, and the queue seems to have only grown larger – a testament to Higashida’s super-rich pork broth, simmering away for more than 14 years, masterstock-style.

Join the line and experience the unadulterated ramen pleasure of his “number three” tonkotsu, featuring incredibly giving slices of pork and an optional seasoned egg that’s essential, really, for all its jammy deliciousness.

The “number 10” dried fish-enhanced tonkotsu manages to pack even more umami into the bowl, and don’t forget extras from the self-serve table. With sliced spring onions, pickled ginger, house-made garlic soy sauce and more, it’s a choose-your-own-add-ons adventure.
