Kurobuta Pork Boat Noodle
Concentrated fermented broth with silky rice noodles, tender Kurobuta pork belly, pork blood cake, and crispy pork crackling

Upgraded Wagyu Beef Boat Noodle
Premium boat noodle with double wagyu beef portions, extra toppings, and enhanced brothiness

Wagyu Beef Boat Noodle
Same concentrated broth with silky rice noodles, tender Australian Wagyu beef strips, pork blood cake, and garnishes
