Yaki Ramen was an interesting variant to the usual soup Ramen, Jikaya's turned out to be on the salty side, we recommend adding Onsen Tamago, for the extra creaminess and perhaps, slightly cut through the saltiness. We
Are you craving a taste of Japan without breaking the bank? Look no further than Michi-Michi Japanese Restaurant, nestled in the heart of Bayan Lepas at Arena Curve. This hidden gem has recently undergone a complete revamp and is now back with a bang, operated by new management ready to take you on a gastronomic journey like never before.
During my visit, i ordered their Supreme Gyoza Ramen which is made from fresh rich and creamy pork bone broth with michi special made chili served with fresh Japanese ramen, komi tamago, 5 pieces of gyoza big size, seaweed, spring onion, white sesame and sweet peas. This bowl of Supreme Gyoza Ramen is spicy but you can choose the spiciness level of. There are a total of 3 different level of spiciness where level 3 being the most spicy of all, so i choose level 1, to me, level 1 is still spicy. Even though so, i still like this bowl of Supreme Gyoza Ramen, the broth is rich, the noodle is smooth and soft and the gyoza if full with filling inside. A satisfying bowl of Supreme Gyoza Ramen.
Their ramen is cooked without any additional salt or MSG, just like how you get back in Japan.
Food here is good and their service is really fast too but i feel that their price is a little expensive. Environment is comfortable and nice.
Here's the location.
Ippudo Pork Bun (RM 7.70), one of their signature snack and best seller across the world. Juicy braised pork belly with Ippudo's special sauce sandwiched between the soft mantau is addictive
The Volcano Ramen broth had a bolder meaty notes but with the bed of Chili paste added, the broth was multi-dimensional with a cleaner taste (comparing to the Miso Butter Yasai Ramen).
We had both Wafu Signature Ramen and Volcano Ramen in the 6 in 1 set. Between these 2 options, we preferred the Volcano Ramen due to its heat component. The Wafu Signature Ramen is moderate in terms of their depth of flavour and did not really intrigue us to enjoy more of it.
The Aka Special is a spicy choice to have. This spicy specialty comes presented in Shiro soup infused with special spicy chili paste.
风暴兵太太则点了白豚骨拉面(SHIRO Special)，同样是招牌拉面。其实，卖相和黑豚骨拉面差不多，唯一不一样是，这个是“白”的，风暴兵先生是“黑”的。
For those who does not enjoy soup, probably due to hot weather and sweat a lot, go for their dry ramen. The ramen noodles are tossed in their signature mix of sweet & sour soy sauce, creating a balanced taste that soothing to the taste buds. It is served with chicken meatballs, black fungus, spring onions, seaweed, flavoured beansprouts and eggs.
Why opt for King Kong Ramen in Bayan Lepas? From colossal noodle bowls to tempting Japanese curry rice, sushi, sashimi, and their innovative taco sushi, the menu boasts a diverse array. It's not just about ramen; it's about delivering satisfaction that lingers, leaving you yearning for more.
This place is well organized and clean.
We had Shiroaji Ramen (RM 20.80) featuring original Tonkotsu flavour, then topped with chashu, Japanese bamboo shot slices, wood ear fungus slices, corn kernels, lava egg halves and nori. Overall, the soup offers an addictive and rich flavour with a hint of pleasant salty taste. Though the ramen noodles are al-dente in texture, some of the noodles were clumping and presented in a mass, a sign that it was not cooked and stirred nicely. However, this was just a small flaw and did not jeopardize the overall pleasant taste.
In terms of food, the taste of the ramen that i tried is not as good as it looks. The one that i tried is their Tonkotsu Mix Ramen which is serve with 3 very thin slices of chashu belly, wood ear fungus, spring onion, hanjuku egg and 2 piece of nori. The broth is salty and the ramen noodles is not soft enough. I personally would prefer to have a softer ramen noodles, maybe cooking it another 1 minutes would be better ? The chashu belly is too thin in my opinion, they can serve it in thin slice but it would be good to give more than 3, maybe ? While for the broth, i find it salty, maybe it is just me ?
Unlike most ramen restaurants in Malaysia, Menya Miyabi remains faithful to the authentic recipe in Japan.
Gyoza (Fried Dumplings). 6pcs – RM13.00, 10pcs – RM19.00. The gyoza is one of the highlights here. The skin was thin and fried until slightly crispy. The inner filling was juicy and tasty. It has the right ratio of meat and veggie in the filling
Menya Miyabi Hokkaido Ramen - we can now enjoy really HOKKAIDO RAMEN in Penang now
Taste good!!
Oden in light soy-flavored broth comes in a variety of choices – Japanese fish cakes, tofu cakes, and skewered dried beancurd, a fantasy of “intestines”. The latter is one of my favorite ingredients, offering a nice chewy texture and strong flavor from the seasoning used. Eaten with a dab of green chili sauce definitely enhances the taste.
Zuzudo Ramen Bar is a new compact Ramen eatery housed within G Hotel Penang (at the al-fresco dining area between G Hotel and Gurney Plaza), the name 'Zuzu' resembles the sound when slurping noodles... in Japanese language; it does give some hints on how confident are they when it comes to their Ramen noodles. The usual menu seems impressive but the offering is limited during this soft launch period; the menu is dedicated entirely to serve Chicken Ramen (various flavors and no pork here). To our surprise, the prices are wallet-friendly yet, they don't skimp on serving portion; the only concern here is that the place gets warm especially on sultry hot afternoons so the heat-intolerant might find the lack of air-conditioner disturbing. If there's a Ramen lover in you, you should give this place a try.
If you do not take spicy food then Pork Broth Ramen would be your only option. The broth registered a rather bold meaty Pork-taste; the noodles were silky smooth but lacked of the al-dente texture. It was somewhat similar to Mee Suah. It comes in a hearty portion despite the wallet-friendly price tag
