Another ramen specialist in town

Looks familiar? It is a new ramen shop just opened in Mid Valley Mall, next to the Jusco at level 2. 

Those who knows me will acknowledge that I am a noodle crazy person. I took my family to the shop last week and we had a great time!

Two major things that made the hell of difference in a bowl of ramen. The broth and the texture of the ramen.

Goku Raku Ramen shop specialised in pig bone broth and as such, it is non-halal!



Ultimate Tonkutsu Ramen



We ordered a few varieties to try and they specialised in two different type of broth - tonkotsu (pig bones broth) and goku raku (pig bones, chicken and fish broth). Most of my kids opted for the ultimate tonkutsu ramen. I have to give them the compliment that the tonkutsu broth is really fantastic. The nice aroma stays in your mouth. However, it is a little too oily.

The sad thing was the egg was over-cooked. It was a real embarassment for a ramen shop not to perfect the Japanese style of boiled eggs! I was so upset and complained to the Japanese chef when he came out to greet us!




GOku Raku Ramen

 I opted for the goku raku ramen. The broth was thicker and it did not have the strong pig bone aroma. However, the taste is so different and I have not tasted this kind of broth before. Phenomenal! It is nice for a change. Honestly, I will still go for the tonkotsu broth in my next trip because that reminds me of the sweet memories in Japan! Haha!

This is very different from the chicken broth that Marutama Ramen used. http://tangeddie.blogspot.com/2011/03/nice-japanese-ramen-shop-in-kuala.html

The ramen is very "toin-toin", springy. However it is a bit thick and different from the normal ramen that we have eaten. As opposed to Marutama Ramen, the ramen is very thin.

We order a few side orders and the gyozas were great. The skin of the gyoza was very thin. I gave this dish 100 points!

However, I believe the management needs to make sure the comfort of the environment as the place is too hot as if, there is not air conditioned!

It is never cheap to eat ramen nowadays in Kuala Lumpur. A bowl is averaging around RM20 before taxes!

For those who craved for ramen, you can dropby at Mid Valley level 2 to catch a bite! Make sure you suck the ramen hard like the Japs do! Happy trying.
