Kazan Cuisine in Chinatown has rebranded, offering an enticing ban mian dish alongside delicious fresh meatballs. Join us for a culinary adventure!
Kazan Cuisine: A Transformation from Japanese Dining
Kazan Japanese Cuisine, located at the bustling Chinatown Complex, has been a beloved spot for food enthusiasts. However, on April 30, 2026, it officially closed its doors. Shortly after, it rebranded to Kazan Cuisine, introducing a fresh menu featuring dishes like dry and soup ban mian, herbal chicken, chwee kueh, and chee cheong fun.
Adapting to Survive
Owner Lim Kwok Seong, a lively and passionate 50-year-old, shared that the shift from Japanese bento to ban mian was necessary due to “high operational costs that made it unsustainable.” Now, the restaurant offers Soup Pan Mee and Dry Pan Mee for just SGD 5.50 (approximately 90,000 VND), with a choice of noodles including ban mian, thin noodles, mee hoon kueh, and yee mee.
A Must-Visit Spot in Chinatown
On its opening day, May 6, I visited Kazan Cuisine and was the second customer to try the offerings. I sampled the Mee Hoon Kueh Soup and the Dry Noodles. Unfortunately, the Herbal Chicken (priced at SGD 7, about 120,000 VND) was unavailable during my visit.
The Dry Noodles were flavorful, topped with minced meat, ikan bilis, poached egg, pork fat, mushrooms, and a bit of spinach, accompanied by a spoonful of homemade sambal. The broth was light, reminiscent of a simmer made from radish and dried squid.
Rich Flavors from Handmade Meatballs
For the Mee Hoon Kueh Soup, the ingredients mirrored those of the previous dish but featured handcrafted meatballs instead of minced meat. The noodles were cut into small squares and were thinner than what I usually enjoy. The broth was rich yet not overwhelming, making it easy to drink. The meatballs, made from dried fish, were delightful, and Mr. Lim even added some dried squid strands for an extra flavor boost.
