The Hunt for Ramen 2014 7/7! Achievement Unlocked!

Finally completed the list of ramen for 2014.

1. Ippudo Ramen @ Pavillion/Gardens/BSC
2.  Menya Musashi @ 1 Utama
3. Bankara @ Avenue K
4. Marutama Ramen @ Fahrenheit/ Avenue K
5. Hokkaido Ramen @ Pavillion
6. Bari Uma @ Jaya Shopping Centre
7. Taiko Japanese Cuisine @ Mont Kiara

The last ramen was Bari Uma at Jaya Shopping Centre. Shoyu based with tender chashu.
Delicious at first and then I've added with two dashes of garlic powder which helped bring out most of the flavor of the shoyu broth.
Halfway through, the broth's flavor was starting to overwhelm my mouth and became too salty. Noodles absorbed most of the flavor but a bit too salty for my taste.

So... my personal list of ramen based on taste/quality would be as follow.

1. Hokkaido Ramen @ Pavillion
2. Ippudo Ramen @ Pavillion/Gardens/BSC
3. Menya Musashi @ 1 Utama
4. Taiko Japanese Cuisine @ Mont Kiara
5. Bankara @ Avenue K
6. Marutama Ramen @ Fahrenheit/ Avenue K
7. Bari Uma @ Jaya Shopping Centre

For price wise, Menya Musashi still is the best ramen , price wise. Filling and delicious.

The Hunt for Ramen 2014 6/7 ?!?!

So it seems that I thought I haven't been to Marutama before... but I found out I already have.
Ordered the signature dish and this time I remember what it actually tastes like; Maggi Mi Chicken Flavored broth but more creamier and thicker. Not bad.

So since that's the case... Now I have to make my way to Jaya Shopping Centre for BariUma Ramen

The Hunt For Ramen 2014 6/7

Just went to Taiko Ramen @ Mont Kiara
Had some of their signature 'Taiko Ramen', Bacon Scallops and Gyoza.

Bacon scallops was okay, bacon lacks sufficient flavor though.
Gyoza was average or as my friend calls it, "Typical reheated frozen gyoza".
As for the ramen, it was the cheapest in the list so far costing under RM20.
Broth tasted shoyu based but it's flavorful enough.
Ramen noodles was good, maybe on par with the other restaurants in the list.
The char shew however was forgettable. Barely tasted anything and possibly the worst thing in the bowl.
As for the egg, well, you can't really go wrong with it.

And with that, one more restaurant to visit before the list completes.

The Hunt for Ramen 2014, 5/7 complete

2 More to go. Hopefully I could be on target to complete the list before New Years!
Last I tried was Hokkaido Ramen and that was the best ramen I've had so far.

Referring to the blogpost above, I've already tried 4 out of 7 in the list. 3 more to go.

1. Ippudo Ramen @ Pavillion/Gardens/BSC
2.  Menya Musashi @ 1 Utama
3. Bankara @ Avenue K
4. Marutama Ramen @ Fahrenheit/ Avenue K
5. Hokkaido Ramen @ Pavillion
6. Bari Uma @ Jaya Shopping Centre
7. Taiko Japanese Cuisine @ Mont Kiara

Only ones left to try are, Hokkaido Ramen, Taiko Japanese and Marutama Ramen. Hopefully I can get it done before the turn of the new year.

Ippudo was often the go to place for ramen followed by Menya Musashi which comes a close second and because of their cheaper price for the quality of ramen you get.
Bankara's ramen was average but that was because I tried their signature dish instead of the tonkotsu which were the staple for Ippudo and Menya Musashi. They have fresh garlic and other condiments available on the table for you to add on. Certainly changes the flavor of the broth.
Bari Uma was average as well, nothing memorable worth noting for me.
