Ippudo Ramen @ Pavillion, KL

No Comments

I guess most of you have read in many blogs about this new Ramen place – Ippudo Ramen, with so much hype at that time for the first 3 weeks after its opening. Till now I manage to pay a visit to this what so called famous ramen to many people.

ipudo (1)

IPPUDO was founded in 1985 in Japan’s ramen capital of Hakata by Shigemi Kawahara, the internationally renowned Ramen King and CEO of Chikaranomoto Company, which encompasses some of Japan’s finest restaurants. There are over 65 stores in Japan, and globally in places such as New York, Sydney, Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan, South Korea and Shanghai. IPPUDO has become the most popular ramen restaurant over the years. Kawahara was crowned Ramen King in 2005 and holds a place in the Ramen Hall of Fame after winning the championship 3 times consecutively between 1995-1998, on “TV Champion Ramen Chef,” a reputable Japanese television show produced by TV Tokyo.

Interior of this shop is very much different compare to other ramen joints as instantly you can know that this place does not comes cheap. As right at the main entrance, this outlet also do have a bar area. I guess during the night, they do serve alcohol along.

Love their second session of design that I would say more like the original dining area that design in contemporary yet ambiance of Japan eatery feel.

Menu is pretty straight forward that only comes in a few pages. Most of them are filled with Ramen and some appetizers. My guess is correct that its surely does not come cheap.

As we place our order, we were ask to choose our type of noodle Soft, Normal or Hard and I ask what is the best preferred. The guy answer Hard. Ended up order 1 bowl of hard ramen and normal ramen.

ipudo (9)

I order Akamaru Shinaji  Special @ RM 36, slow cook till its a bit oily and liquid, creating a rich and flavorful Tonkotsu that enhances the essence of pork-bone topped with IPPUDO secret miso, garlic oil, belly chasu and spring onion of course have to add an egg.

ipudo (10)

 Soup looks pretty decent and the aroma of the soup definitely smells good.

ipudo (11)

the broth is not bad that its a hint of sweetness and light end spicy taste from this flavour, noodle for this bowl is Hard, its a bit springy towards al dante side and I like it.

ipudo (12)

Next came as we order somethng more origninal which is Shiromaru Motoaji Special @ RM 34 serve along with belly chashu and egg also.

ipudo (14)

one thing I like the most is their juicy slices of belly charsu. . so soft that it nearly melts and with a good balance of fats in between.

ipudo (15)

this bowl have the normal texture ramen and my friends loves it. I don find it any much different. If they can standardize it all Normal I am okay too.

ipudo (16)

Egg is abit tasteless without running yolk too. Original taste of this soup is a bit more pale and add in some pepper and chili powder.

Overall, I find that its overrated by many people and price of the noodle here is slightly more expensive than the rest as the portion is smaller.

Kaw Kaw Burger Bakar @ Wangsa Maju

24 Comments

Many of us know Ramlee Burger is a little stall that operate by road side or in neighborhood area to cater small little demand around the place and not many burger stall actually are good and to hunt for really nice one, is just a few. Kaw Kaw Burger Bakar is taking the lead for burger evolve.

Well, I should say that burger do evolve and we do know that alot restaurant do their burger patties to be unique from other restaurant and this is the latest discovery that my friend introduce me, not Ramlee burger, not burger from fancy restaurant. . . Its a burger stall that operate by a malay family that do their very own beef patties that chargrill it as they name it Kaw Kaw Burger Bakar

kau kau (1)

Its a burger stall that located in Wangsa Maju whereby at the stretch of famous mamak stall to Tarc students BRJ with big yellow sign board and the burger stall is located directly the other end of the shop house or consider in front of this shops.

kau kau (2)

This is no ordinary burger stall as they operate quite a huge place and you can see a huge bbq pit sitting there grilling many pieces of burger patties none stop, and there is a little queue.

kau kau (3)

So we just follow what others do. . .

kau kau (4)

and they do offer place for you to dine as you have to wait for other people to finish theirs then you will get your place.

They actually also have hall of fame on how many patties of burger you can take. On another picture, there is a slim guy that ate , I think 11 patties.. that is seriously OMG! with 180g per pastie. Try to imagine that.

Price wise is very reasonable as a set that comes with extra 2 sausages and 1 drink cost only RM 10.

So they place the pattie on this hot pit and grill it. .

kau kau (10)

2 versions of meat on the pit, KFC style fried chicken that act as Chicken burger ..

and this is the beef patties waiting to be park along with the bread.

kau kau (12)

the chicken version with a slice of cheese sitting on top and slowly melting off.

kau kau (13)

I was told by the guy there that this is their signature is to add along with a slice of bacon. Of course I follow his advice

kau kau (14)

A burger that is quite moist and not dry ..

kau kau (15)

How can I not have my burger without a cheese, as its always a must for me.

kau kau (16)

This is what Ken had, triple stack which is crazy. Too huge and lots of meat to consume with every piece is 180g, so 3 pieces about half kg meat already. The meat was grill till moist and not too dry inside. On that day we had, there are quite alot of veins in the meat, so there are a few small pieces need to take out.

As for me one normal set with bacon on top is good enough for me and according to Ken, after the 3rd pieces he felt like eating oil already which I agree with the way they grill it.

Advise is just go for single set and if you are a big eater double is good enough.

Well, if you want to eat something unique compare with other Ramlee stalls, this is one of the stall I would be Recommending because of homemade style.
