Slurping Good! First Instant-Noodle Themed Experience Playground in Singapore
Ever wanted to go a world filled with nothing but your love for instant noodles? Now, you can at this Noodle-ly creation at Rochor, Singapore.
Brought to you by the same people who made Artbox the success it was, they bring to you Slurping Good! where instant noodle lovers come to play.
Chances are you've probably at least had instant noodles at least once in your life, but I'm sure you've never experienced an Instant Noodle-themed Experience Playground in Singapore.
Located at Tekka Place right beside Eatbox Singapore, Slurping Good! is a noodle-themed experience playground where you can capture Instagram-worthy photos while appreciating the art of instant noodles.
For a paltry sum of $21, you get to experience 13 interactive noodle-ly exhibits that range over 2 levels. This adventure comes with a complimentary tote bag that is filled with plenty of goodies for you to enjoy as well.
You Start Off as A Noodle
Upon entering the surreal settings, you instantly 'turn' into a piece of noodle.
You read that right! You are the noodle on your instant noodles journey here.
Noodle Drapes
Walking in, you'll be greeted with your noodle-ly relatives hanging from the ceilings. Like your relatives in the human world, these 'blood-related beings' comes in all shapes and sizes.
Aside from the larger cutouts, you'll notice these seemingly 'real' instant noodles hanging around. I hate to be the bearer of bad news so here are some good news - those instant noodles are real.
Coated in a layer of resin, these circular instant noodles are taken from their packages and hung from the ceilings, sothat they could hang out with you. Ain't that wonderful?
After you've gathered enough family portraits, go on the quest to find your #OneTruePairing for everyone needs someone. Or in our case, some toppings.
Egg-hibit
For me one of my favourite toppings to have in instant noodles is eggs. From hard boiled eggs to scrambled eggs, I am a slave for eggs. In this egg-hibit, you not only get to take a memorable selfie in front of the fried eggs wall, but you get to vote for your favourite egg-y cooking method as well.
Drop your vote where it counts! Make Instant Noodles great again!
Oh Crab!
Under the sea in this next toppings zone is where you get to balance out your crabstick with some seafood puns. Snap a photo with this crabstick seat while you read the cute and punny posters on the wall.
Coriander Tic-Tac-Toe
When it comes to coriander there are only two kinds of people in the world:
- Those that thinks coriander is just a garnish and should not be eaten.
- Those that goes to coriander hotpot buffets.
That's why this installation was born. This installation allows both coriander lovers and haters to settle their difference with a game of tic-tac-toe.
And hopefully, we can all come to an agreement that coriander hotpot buffets should not exist.
InstaHam
Spice up your Instagram page with this can of InstaHam. This large can of spam can not only turn your frown upside down but it does not increase your pounds as well.
Say Cheese!
Say cheese in this cheesy exhibit. There are 2 sizes of cheese for you to pop your head out from - the larger one for the adults and the smaller one for the children.
As a millennial, I can't live without cheese, as the years go by we see more and more flavours capture our tastebuds. But I'm sure we can all agree that as long as you're not lactose intolerant, cheese is one of the best pairings you can have with instant noodles.
What's Cooking
Once you're done picking out your choice of toppings, head-on by to the What's Cooking Swing where you get to experience how it feels like to be that sweet, sweet noodle stirring around in the pot.
Chu Qian Yi Ding Slider!
With the stirring out of the way, it's time to show yourself to the world. Head down the ramen slide and voila, you're now a cooked noodle.
Similar to the cheese installations, there's child- and adult-sized noodle slides.
Nissin Cup Noodles
Do you know the world's first instant noodle was invented by Momofuku Ando, founder of Nissin Foods?
In 1958, Momofuku produced the first instant ramen, Chicken Ramen, after he was inspired by the ramen stalls around Osaka. In 1971, the first cup-type instant noodles, Nissin Cup Noodles, was born.
This interactive space features a 1.7m tall cup noodles, various photo zones and an area where you can create your own dream cup noodles.
Although chicken ramen may be the first instant noodles flavour, it may not be the little red dot's favourite cup noodles.
Take a guess on the nation's favourite flavour of Nissin cup noodles. Let me give you a hint, it's related to the Land of Smiles.
Noodle Wall & Noodle Lab
The experience of being an instant noodle ends as you ascend the steps to the noodle lab and noodle wall. Time to be the human that is so obsessed with instant noodles again!
Red-carpet Merchandise store
You wouldn't want to go back home empty-handed, so head on over to their merchandise store, where there are more photo-zones for you to snap while you shop.
From earrings to phone cases, aesthetic instant noodles merchandises flood the shop. Amongst these official merchandise, there are also various food-related items from our local brands.
Soul Good Noodle Bar
Tip: You might want to look into your tote bag again for an F&B voucher.
Once the playing and fun are out of the way, you're bound to be parched and hungry. Grab your DIY noodle order and head next door to Eatbox where Soul Good Noodle Bar stood.
There, you get to submit your order and get 2 free toppings.
Win Lazada Vouchers & Nissin Instant Noodles
Tip: To locate Marketplace, go to level one and face the direction away from the MRT. Walk across the zebra crossing and safe entry into the building. Head downstairs and you'll be able to see the machines.
If you've taken my tips and opened your tote bag, you would also notice some coin-like tokens in it. Those tokens are for the Lazada and Nissin claw machines located at Marketplace.
Try your chance with the Lazada crane machine and be rewarded with up to $50 Lazada vouchers. Or if that's not your vibe, try your hand at the Slurping Good! X Nissin crane machine to win some instant noodles.
The Arcade at Marketplace
After you've run out of chances at the claw machines, head over to the Lazada photo booth to snap more selfies. If not, roam around and take a chance at these claw games, retro games and even arcade games in the basement.
Psst. Some of the machines in the basements are Boshi Boshi, Dance Dance Revolution and even themed pinball machines.
