Ever since I tried Menya Musashi in Singapore, I couldn't wait to try the ramen in its KL outlets. Currently Menya Musashi Malaysia has two outlets - one in Eat Paradise at 1U and another at Jalan P.Ramlee. When the Jalan P.Ramlee outlet first opened, it served ramen with chicken broth only, but when I visited last week, I discovered that they now serve ramen with pork broth too.
Kanzan Ramen
Twin Towers... just 2 minutes walk away
Menya Musashi on Jalan P.Ramlee is just 2 mins walk away from Petronas Twin Towers. I observed that this outlet is frequented by quite many Japanese. The menu here is a little different from Singapore's, with four types of broth available (original tonkotsu, fish and pork blend, spicy and miso) as well as tsukemen. No black tsukemen or broth in sight. Since I did not get to try
I went for the Kanzan Ramen (RM20), which came with 2 pieces of roasted pork, 1 ajitama (flavoured egg), spring onion and black fungus. The ramen is slightly different here, thinner but still springy with a nice bite. The egg was also slightly overcooked for my liking but very similar to Singapore's, so I deduced that perhaps this is their style for the eggs. Pork was decent (a bit more fat would be better :P), but what I really love was the tonkotsu broth. The broth which has been boiled for many hours was rich and flavorful, I drank it all to the last drop.
A pretty good bowl of ramen
Nice texture to the noodles
Ajitama (flavoured egg) was pretty decent too but Marutama's egg is still the best!
We also tried the prawn gyoza (RM10) which was pretty good - lots of prawn chunks and juicy.
Juicy gyozas
The matcha milk drink (RM5) was a good thirst quencher. The matcha wasn't too overpowering which worked for me.

ReplyDeleteI wanna go back and makan again!
DeleteI wanna try the unique fish and pork broth! =)
Deletei'm sniffling a bit this afternoon (i think i'm catching a cold), so some of menya's hot broth might help clear my blocked nose, heh :D
ReplyDeleteAww hope u get better soon. Not nice being sick during CNY. Hot soup as well as lots of Vitamin C will be helpful.
Deletei love that bowl of ramen.
ReplyDeleteReally tasty tonkotsu.
Deleteso this was what I've missed huh?TT Gosh, Im craving for their broth right now... Their soup is really, really great....can't have enough of it
ReplyDeleteWe'll have to go together next time ;)
DeleteI will walk there for lunch sometime, quite near my office too. hehe.
ReplyDeleteHehe next time I ajak u also :)
DeleteAlways good to know where to head for a decent soup...and the gyozas look fab! I don't eat enough Japanese food...
ReplyDeleteIt's not super salty like a lot of ramen places... suitable for the Malaysian palate.
DeleteHi Yen! So any difference between this one and the Singapore outlet?
ReplyDeleteAlmost everything is different... SG's noodles are thicker, more variety in broths in SG too. But KL's one tasted good despite the differences.
DeleteStill yet to visit Menya but looking forward to Ippudo's opening!
ReplyDeleteOh yes can't wait for it to open!
Deletehmm. for some reason, chicken broth can't give the same depth and flavour that pork broth has! So, I'm glad they're serving them!!!! :) hehe and agree with Kelly above! I want Ippudo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHave u tried Marutama Ramen? Despite being chicken broth, it's pretty good. Esp the eggs.. omg to die for!
Deletewow the ramen looks really nice. I need to try this but so far I do like Ippudo in Singapore when it comes to Ramen.
ReplyDeleteHehe I think everyone's anticipating the opening of Ippudo in Pavilion.
DeleteRarely can see such a huge prawn in Japanese gyoza!
ReplyDeleteHaha it was few large chunks.
DeleteThe soup & egg looks inviting
ReplyDeleteYES! Overall it was a very satisfying bowl of ramen.
DeleteHow interesting that they've got different ramen types to other countries! I must admit I really like tonkotsu broth, especially when the weather is cold outside. it's supposed to be good for the skin too! :o
ReplyDeleteTonkotsu's my fav... I never make it at home though cos it takes so many hours to get it rich and lovely the way I like it. So thank God we can get good tonkotsu ramen in KL :)
Deletei went Singapore @ Menya :)
