Whether you’re planning a relaxed brunch, a late-night catch-up, or just seeking comfort in a cup or a bowl, these monsoon-ready menus are worth stepping out for.

Guppy

When the monsoon hits and you’re looking for a cosy place to eat, Guppy should be at the top of your list. Their ramen bowls are perfect for rainy days—whether you’re in the mood for something simple like the Vegetable Garlic Ramen, filled with fresh veggies and a tasty broth, or something more filling like the Chicken Paitan Ramen, which comes with tender chicken and a rich, creamy soup. If you love pork, the Chashu Ramen is a must-try, with soft pork belly and a broth that’s been simmered for hours. And if you like a bit of spice, the Kimchi Pork Ramen with crispy bacon and tangy kimchi will definitely warm you up.

If you’re craving something more substantial, Guppy’s Donburi Rice Bowls are just what you need. The Exotic Vegetable Rice Bowl is loaded with seasonal veggies tossed in a tasty miso pepper sauce, all served over a bed of rice. The Mushroom Rice Bowl offers a comforting mix of assorted mushrooms and greens cooked in creamy coconut, making it a great vegetarian choice. For those who enjoy a comforting chicken meal, the Sudori Chicken Rice Bowl features twice-cooked chicken leg with soy vinegar, tartar sauce, and pickled cucumber—hearty and full of flavour. The Chashu Rice Bowl is a must-try for pork lovers, with soy and sake-braised pork belly, apple, kimchi, and a tangy mustard-miso sauce. If you’re in the mood for seafood, the Grilled Fish Rice Bowl with delicately cooked salmon in yuzu-lemon butter sauce is a satisfying pick.

No matter what you’re craving, Guppy has something that’ll hit the spot this monsoon. It’s the kind of place where you can relax, enjoy good food, and watch the rain outside.
