Takagi Ramen — the chain that dragged Singapore's entry-level ramen price down to about $7 a bowl — is running buy-1-get-1-free on its two SG61 crab bowls: the Chilli Crab Ramen and the Salted Egg Crab Ramen, $16.50 nett for the pair.

> Quick view: 1-for-1 Chilli Crab Ramen / Salted Egg Crab Ramen (mix & match) · $16.50 nett for two bowls, ~$8.25 each · all 13 outlets + order.takagiramen.com + delivery apps · live since 17 Jul · no official end date — while stocks last, food media say mid-Aug.

The two bowls

Both sit on Takagi's house base — hakata noodles and a tonkotsu broth boiled over 12 hours — with a National Day sauce poured over it and a whole soft-shell crab on top.

  • Chilli Crab Ramen — the sweet-spicy chilli crab gravy, thick enough to coat the noodles rather than sit under them.
  • Salted Egg Crab Ramen — the creamier of the two, salted-egg sauce with the same crab and a soft-boiled ajitama.

Mix and match is allowed, so two people should order one of each rather than doubling up on one.

What $16.50 nett actually means

The word doing the work here is nett. You pay $16.50 and that is the bill — no 9% GST, no 10% service charge stacked on afterwards. Against a $16.50++ menu price that's about $3.10 you don't pay, which is a bigger deal than it sounds on a promo this cheap.

Split two ways it's $8.25 a head, roughly what a standard Takagi bowl costs anyway. Go alone and the same deal is a $16.50 bowl at a chain whose normal range is $7–13 — this one only works if you bring someone.

The fine print

  1. No published end date. Takagi's poster and its own Facebook announcement don't print one; the brand only says the National Day celebration has started early. Media coverage estimates mid-August. Go before the 9–10 August long weekend.
  2. While stocks last — the crab bowls are a limited National Day run, and outlets can run out of soft-shell crab before the campaign formally closes.
  3. Delivery apps add their own markup — the $16.50 nett figure is an in-store/direct-order number. Ordering through a platform usually costs more all-in.
  4. All 13 outlets take part, plus order.takagiramen.com.

The 3am angle

Nine of the thirteen outlets are open 24 hours — Ang Mo Kio, Yishun, Woodlands, Hougang Rivercourt, Jurong West, Simei, Redhill, Yew Tee and Bedok Central. That makes this one of very few 1-for-1s in Singapore you can redeem after midnight, and it's the practical way to dodge the dinner queue.

The other four run mall hours: One-North (10am–9pm), and Pasir Ris @ Downtown East, Dhoby Ghaut and Anchorvale Village (about 11am–10pm).
