I mentioned previously that I’d made a big mistake a few years back. The logic was that the Top Ten lists for the first half of the year would have the current year in the title, and the ones published after June would be the following year edition with the logic that it would be more active in the following year. Well, that ended up confusing and annoying a great many people. So, some lists have been skipped in order to do this reset. But in this case, I wanted to do a new one – a 2.0. I’m announcing today also that the video versions of the topo tens are going to be limited from here out. They take a huge amount of time to film, edit, compose, etc. So only a couple lists now will have these videos. With that, let’s check out The Ramen Rater’s Top Ten Singaporean Instant Noodles Of All Time 2026 Edition 2.0!
The Ramen Rater’s Top Ten Singaporean Instant Noodles Of All Time 2026 Edition 2.0
#10: KOKA Signature Laksa Singapura Instant Noodles
A quick one – only two minute cooking time, however the noodle gets done in the short period. What I really loved about this one is the broth which is creamy and savory – Super tasty stuff – and the garnish of vegetables is seasonal which is a nice touch. Original review
#9: Nissin Cup Noodles Fish Head Curry Flavour
Your standard Cup Noodles fare insofar as the noodle is concerned, but the broth is really great. A very tasty fish and curry combo that includes tofu puff and a myriad of garnish really works well in this one. Original review
#8: Nissin Ippudo Shiromaru Hakata Tonkotsu Ramen
Thin noodles are just a little brittle which I really like in this particular variety. Pair that with a very rich tonkotsu broth and you’ve got a seriously great collaboration. Original review
#7: Vecorn Singapore Laksa Soup Noodles
A nice chewy noodle – non fried. The broth is rich and full of shrimp flavor, creamer provides extra thick and milky aspects. It’s good – real good. I think a big par is cooking the noodles in the broth; not adding broth components afterwards. All around delightful. Original review
#6: Prima Taste Singapore Curry La Mian
A wonderful noodle – very chewy and thick pairs like a dream with a sumptuous thick curry broth. I can’t say enough about this stuff. Original review
#5: Vecorn Hae Bee Hiam Dried Noodles
Noodle is perfect – gauge and chewiness are spot on – perfect match for the paste. The paste is very prawn. Like extremely prawn – sweet, salty, savory, and little heat. It’s really great and has been a top ten lister for a while now. Truly superb. Original review
#4: Nissin x Irvins Salted Egg Flavour
I never really realized gow much I enjoyed salted egg flavored things until I tried this. The thin, flat noodle is soft and plentiful. Then you have the salted egg flavor, and to top it off, an egg crumble which adds a little texture. I could eat this one daily. Original review
#3: Nissin x 328 Katong Laksa Laksa Flavour
This is the best noodle bowl I’ve had and it’s the new number one on my bowls top ten. A thick chewy noodle is where we start. Next, a creamy and oily curry broth which is enhanced by little shrimp balls. This is seriously amazing – wish I had more of it. Original review
#2: Prima Taste Singapore Black Pepper Crab La Mian
I think they did something to this one because I couldn’t put it down. Take the legendary noodle, then add a lavish and saucy black pepper sauce. Wow. The black pepper isn’t so strong it overwhelms; it’s very savory and balanced. A truly wonderful variety. Original review
#1: Prima Taste Singapore Laksa Wholegrain La Mian
This choice for number one should be of no surprise for those who follow my reviews. For the last ten – yes ten – years, this Prima Taste Wholegrain Laksa has been number one on my global top ten and with good reason. The noodle is just amazing – great gauge and texture; not gritty and very artisan. The broth is pure bliss with a thickness and oiliness coupled with coconut milk powder and just savory for days. I love this stuff. I think if someone makes an even better variety than this I’ll uplorry. Original review

Top Ten Redux 2.0
A while back, I got some advice. ‘Why not call your list by the number of the following yea if it was the second half of the year?’ It made sense to me; the list would be current for more of the following year than the current. Well, this theory ended up being very frought with confusion. That being said, I decided to take a year off on some lists that I published last year that say 2026 and will revisit them in 2027.
