All that talk about ramen on Twitter couple of weeks ago got us hankering for some ourselves. The perfect opportunity presented itself when we took the kids to Jusco Mahkota Cheras at the start of the school holidays and we were in need of dinner. Other than fast food, there's not much to eat here in the mall hence we settled for Ichiban Ramen.
Since we were sharing with the kids, we ordered non-spicy ramens. Hubby had the Beef Ramen (RM15) while I had the Chicken Cha shu Ramen (RM15). While this may not be the best ramen we've eaten (Hokkaido Santouka still gets my vote for the best), it was pretty decent and filled our stomachs. Most importantly, the kids enjoyed it very much - slurping the noodles and drinking up the soup.
The broth is pretty rich and not MSG laden. The noodles are springy and enjoyable. The only thing which wasn't up to scratch was the flavoured egg (as you can see the yolk is overcooked and runny as it should be). The chicken cha shu was a bit dry but then again, it's chicken and not pork.

We also shared a plate of chicken gyoza (RM9) - pretty juicy.

DeleteI've only tried the one at Jusco Seremban. Not bad oso la...But I usually go when they have promo for CIMB credit card holders. Entitle to 20% discount.kekekek..
ReplyDeleteHaha yes. Same here, got 20% discount off. Makes it taste so much better LOL
DeleteI bet the gyoza would taste better with pork filling :P
ReplyDeleteIt was not bad... but yes, pork would definitely have been better.
DeleteHmm, i never tried the ramen here before...
ReplyDeleteWell it's not as good as Santouka, but it filled our stomachs well.
Deleteooo, y'know, i'm not sure i've ever had ramen with beef before. it's usually either pork or chicken for me. beef could be an interesting change :D
ReplyDeleteI didn't really eat the beef but if Im not mistaken it was coated with teriyaki sauce as the soup was slightly sweeter than mine.
DeleteAhh ramen ramen! Always love slurping the noodles and broth.. I must have it tomorrow! Hehe
ReplyDeleteI think I can eat noodles everyday - ramen, udon, soba, pan mee, char koay teow, curry mee, fried mee hoon!
Deletethe beef ramen looks really good, but too bad i cant take any :(
