I read about
Yuzu Ramen a few days ago and it so happened that I was at Publika last Saturday so I made it a point to drop by Yamagoya Ramen that specializes in Kyushu style ramen (rich broth cooked for many hours using pork bones) for a bowl of Yuzu Ramen.
Yuzu Ramen - MYR26 - inclusive of half an egg, a few slices of thin Char Siu (pork slices), beansprout and bamboo shoots. In the photo above, the Char Siu and ramen noodles can't be seen. I must have expected too much because I could not really detect the Yuzu taste and after concentrating hard when drinking the broth, I could just taste a slight hint of Yuzu. The broth however, is lighter than the broth of the bowl of Roasted Char Siu Ramen that my spouse ate (photo below).
Next time, I may try the Lemon Ramen with slices of lemon in the broth as shown by the photo in the menu.
Roasted Char Siu Ramen - MYR24 - with thick pieces of flavourful roasted Char Siu. I find the roasted Char Siu a bit tough but my spouse likes them. He also loves the piping hot full bodied broth that is full of porky goodness.
The ramen noodles in both bowls are the same thin noodles, soft and not too chewy. The amount of ramen noodles is not too much so I find it quite easy to finish a bowl of ramen on my own.
I did not order any drink but my spouse ordered a cup of hot green tea (MYR2) and a serving of Menma (fermented bamboo shoots) for MYR3.
One can grind some sesame into the bowl of ramen for more flavour.
What does this say?
The fine print says - "....Please taste to the last one drop." Unfortunately we were too full so we did not finish drinking the broth in our bowls. :(

Drooling! Never been to Publika, heard of it a lot. Not even sure where exactly it is. KL proper?
ReplyDeleteIt is near the new istana.
DeleteAnything ramen, I will like rightaway.. I like especially the soup and egg inside the ramen.. I don't like spicy, will only go for the original beef (or chicken) ramen, those stuff.. Everytime when I order ramen, I will finish all the soup, slurp down to the list drop, yummmzzzz..
ReplyDeletewah...finish the soup...how bout the noodles? left the dry noodles to ur hubby?
Deleteheard this from some Chinese movie: wife & husband...wife drink soup hubby eat the noodles? (or izit the other way round?) LOL
Good then you drink all the soup. Just like the fine print says.
DeleteI believe Princess Ribbon eats all the noodle and drinks all the soup on her own. She really can do it! :D
Deleteaww I like Yuzu, I actually like the zest from citrus, taste and smell refreshing and I guess with Yuzu in the ramen broth, it won't make you feel very "jelak" after makan..
ReplyDeleteTrue but I dont know why I can only taste a hint of Yuzu only.
Deletethe ramen looks good and the serving is very generous too.. sure can slurp slurp like no tomorrow, haha!! and I realized you ordered the same thing like what you saw in the other blog, haha, guess these two ramen are the restaurant's popular and recommendation huh?? :)
ReplyDeleteFollow the other blog's recommendation mah, sure won't go wrong gua.
DeleteThe ramen looks good. Somehow, I get attracted to anything green and I see some greens in the soup.
ReplyDeleteSome spring onions and I think green yuzu skin/peel shavings gua.
DeleteRamen looks nice leh. Portion looks big too
ReplyDeletePortion is not as big as Menya Musashi's ramen but then the latter is a bit more expensive.
Deletehey Mun, you are also into Japanese food! My girl took me to Sushi East last Saturday too... The ramen looks good... I think the next time round, I wanna try ramen instead of sashimi all the time...
ReplyDeleteI prefer sushi but my spouse loves the porky broth of ramen.
Deletethe ramen looks good especially with thick pork char siu...I like porky broth
ReplyDeleteSame as my spouse! :D
DeletePork bones broth can never go wrong, regardless of Japanese food or Malaysian food :D
ReplyDeleteWhat is yuzu by the way?
Yuzu is Japanese a citrus fruit.
DeleteHmm normally ramen got taugeh?
ReplyDeleteMy spouse says no.
DeleteYou also a Jap food lover I guess? =)
ReplyDeleteI read from wiki that the short form is considered a derogatory term. I like to eat sushi more than ramen actually.
DeleteGosh, the ramen looks so good especially the one with char siew, dear!
ReplyDeleteThe char siew is really thick so nice!
DeleteWow! I heard Kyushu and I just visited Kyushu in April where the folks claimed the best ramen comes from Hakata City in Fukuoka @ Kyushu Island. So many people from HKG, Korea & all Japan flocked there to eat. Honestly, I couldn't say it was the best ramen cos all ramen are delicious to me.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing. I will visit Yamagoya soon.
So you are a ramen fan! You are welcome but I read it on sixthseal blog so should thank him.
DeleteOhh..that's great Mun, you went there too. I also had the roasted char siu but mine was perfectly roasted. Not tough and I was highlighting this to my better half..hahah
ReplyDeleteI went there because I read that you both like the ramen there. :) my spouse also did not find the char siu tough so you have strong teeth.
