Hakata Ippudo Ramen @ The Gardens Mall, KL

Last week, we met up with a good friend of mine at The Gardens Mall and decided to try out the newly opened Ippudo Ramen since she wanted Asian food for lunch and kids also love ramen! We have previously visited the outlet at Pavilion KL so we were keen to try this and compare.

Akamaru Shinaji

Just like their Pavilion KL outlet, there is often a queue outside this outlet too. Luckily for us, it started to get busy only after we were seated so we managed to skip the queue. The outlet is pretty compact, and it seems that they are suffering from ventilation problems, as the outlet was pretty warm and they had to utilise extra cooling units to cool the place down.

There are 3 broths to choose from - original Tonkotsu (Shiromaru Motoaji), special miso blend (Akamaru Shinaji) and spicy Karaka miso (Spicy Karaka-men). For lunch on weekdays, they do a special Ippudo Combo Set which offers 1 bowl of ramen + 1 side dish or dessert + 1 green tea for RM29.90++. Hubby and I went for the original tonkotsu (shiromaru motoaji) while my friend went for the Akamaru Shinaji. We also ordered an egg each (RM2).

We all went for the Buta Kara Bun for our side dish option, and this was pretty good. Crispy deep fried pork loin is drizzled with a homemade spicy sauce and sandwiched between a soft bun. Baby C enjoyed this and ate my portion.

We thoroughly enjoyed our bowl of Shiromaru Motoaji ramen. When ordering, we were asked how we wanted our noodles cooked and we opted for normal, which is just nice. However, the extra noodles that we ordered were much too hard for our liking. The noodles are topped with 2 pieces of belly chashu, beansprouts, wood ear fungus, and spring onions. Broth is good and we drank it to the last drop. Similar to the Pavilion outlet, the egg here is also a runny soft boiled egg. Our friend also enjoyed her Akamaru Shinaji ramen.
