Food adventure - Hakata Ippudo

As me and my family were in town, we made a spontaneous decision to have ramen noodles for dinner. I then google searched "best ramen in town" and on the first of the list was Hakata Ippudo, Pavilion Mall, KL. Because it was located so near to where we were, we went there. 

The architecture of the store is very unique and eye catching. A part of the store was covered in red spoons which I think is really cool. 

What I ordered was called the Shiromaru Special. In it was a salted soft-boiled egg, pieces of pork loin, seaweed and of course, handmade ramen noodles. Because I've never been to Japan, I asked my mom if it tasted anything like the ones found in Japan and she said it tasted quite authentic. The noodles were really well made and the soup was very concentrated and true to it's flavour. 

One side dish that we ordered was the Lasagna Gyoza. I definitely did not want to eat it because it did not sound or look appetizing at all. In the end I decided to try a piece and surprisingly it tasted really good and really cheesy. Unless you're someone who does not enjoy eating cheese, this dish would blow your mind and your taste buds. The idea of mixing 2 cultural dishes together is fantastic. 

For dessert I ordered the Panna Cotta. The texture of it was really smooth and the garnish along side the blueberry compote made the pudding taste even better, bringing out all the natural milk and cream flavour. 

It was a great meal and I would definitely go back for more.
