Next time you’re in Boat Quay, stop by Lilyan, a well-known noodle shop from Japan serving fresh, handmade soba. With dishes like Kake, a warm soba in dashi soup, and Mori, a cold soba served with traditional tsuyu dipping sauce, it’s an ideal spot for an affordable yet authentic meal.
For a special treat, try the Toriten—a cold soba dish featuring smooth, slightly chewy buckwheat noodles served with grated daikon, tsuyu, and crispy chicken tempura. The subtle nuttiness of the noodles pairs beautifully with the umami-rich soy dip, while the daikon adds a refreshing brightness that enhances each bite.
Lilyan’s cosy and intimate space makes it a perfect spot to visit during off-peak hours for a relaxed dining experience.
