If you’re anything like us, you know that the Singapore food scene is constantly serving up hidden gems that make your tastebuds do a little happy dance. Today, we’re shining the spotlight on a brand that’s making a serious promise to our local culinary scene: Yaksok.
And guess what? We’re chatting all about its incredible co-founder—local singer and entrepreneur Ryan Sufiyan, and how he’s keeping his food fresh, intact, and delivered right to your doorstep with the help of Lalamove!
Who is Yaksok?
First things first—what does Yaksok actually mean? Ryan breaks it down for us perfectly: "Yaksok means 'promise' in Korean." Yaksok is a celebrated Muslim-owned casual dining gem located right in the vibrant heart of Bali Lane (Bugis). They specialise in a creative, delicious menu of Halal Korean-Japanese fusion fare.
If you take a quick peek into their kitchen, you’ll see Ryan and his team doing what they do best—whipping up mouth-watering crowd-favourites! Their unique menu features:
- Inventive Fusion Pastas: Like their signature Spicy GoChUnagi Pasta and creamy Miso Butter Spaghetti.
- Hearty Rice Bowls & Donburi: Blanketed with tender Beef Sukiyaki, Teriyaki Salmon, or Chicken Katsu.
- Fun Starters & Platters: Including Tater Tots loaded with Bulgogi, Sushibakes, and interactive Ssam Sharing Platters!
Ryan and his team are 100% dedicated to delivering three major things with every single order: great service, delicious food, and unmatched quality.
The Ultimate F&B Nightmare: The Delivery Dilemma
Let’s keep it real for a second. If you're running an F&B business in Singapore, you know that presentation is everything. As Ryan says, "People eat with their eyes first." You can cook up the most legendary pasta on the island, but if it arrives at a customer's house looking like it went through a washing machine, the magic is gone.
Ryan admits he used to worry about handing his meticulously prepared fusion dishes over to third-party riders. Would the sauces spill? Would the presentation hold up?
Enter Lalamove: The Ultimate Logistic Lifesaver
Thankfully, Ryan found the ultimate partner-in-crime for his logistics: Lalamove. After using Lalamove's delivery service for months, Yaksok hasn't had a single complaint from customers.
To manage different order sizes efficiently across Singapore, Ryan relies on Lalamove’s versatile fleet:
Motorcycles: Ideal for zipping through CBD traffic to get single lunch orders and hot pasta boxes to hungry customers fast.

Handled with Proper Care: From the moment the brown paper bags are sealed to the moment they hit the vehicle, the food is treated like precious cargo.Always On Time: No one wants a hangry customer. Lalamove ensures those hot orders hit the road and arrive precisely when they're supposed to.

"Lalamove Really Removed the Weight from My Shoulders"
Running a restaurant means wearing a million different hats. Thanks to Lalamove handling the logistics from A to Z—from pickup to delivery—Ryan can focus entirely on what he loves, which is creating incredible food. It gives him total peace of mind.
When asked to describe Lalamove in three words, Ryan didn't skip a beat: Fast, Efficient, and Meticulous. (Though, he did joke that his first three words were "La, La, Move!"—we love a founder with a good sense of humour! 🐒)
