港饮港食 粥面餐厅. Hong Kong Food Culture, Low Yat Plaza

Discover this Hong Kong Cha-chaan-teng that has a very old Hong Kong feel with the old mosaic tiled floor and old wall tiles, at the lower basement of Low Yat Plaza. They have a corner selling those Hong Kong street food such as curry fish ball, and fried stuffs - fried fish ball, spring rolls, seafood tofu, deep fried squid, fried eggplant, deep fried mushroom and etc. I wonder if the curry fish ball taste similar to those selling on the street-cart in Hong Kong since I never tried it when I was in Hong Kong last year. We get some curry fish ball, fried seafood tofu skewer & Taiwan Sausage @ RM2.00 each as starter. And a plate of Fried Beef Hor Fun @ RM12.50, Dry Wantan Mee and an extra deep fried squid @ RM8.00. Fried food always taste good! The Fried Beef Hor Fun with tender beef strips really nice! Also never miss out to enjoy a cup of Nai Cha (Milk tea) along with the meal. Very decent Hong Kong food with reasonable price in the city centre I would say.

麺屋武蔵. Menya Musashi Tokyo Ramen, 1 Utama Shopping Centre

1 Utama has become our weekend hangout place. Currently we are trying out the Japanese ramen inside the Isetan Eat Paradise. We had tried Gantetsu - Hokkaido Ramen last month. Today we are going to have the samurai ramen at Menya Musashi no matter how long the queue is. It doesnt take that long to get a table actually. The table turnover is pretty quick. First we need to place order at the cashier, and pay before we are seated. There are 5 options of ramen to be choose: their signature Musashi Tsukemen / Tsukemen (Dipping type) / Ajitama Tsukemen (with egg) / Chashu Tsukemen (with barbecued pork belly) / Ajitama Chashu Tsukemen (with both barbecued pork belly + egg). Then select the soup base for the ramen :  Shiro (Onion Oil) / Kuro (Combi of Fried Shallots and Garlic Oil) and Aka (Chilli Oil).






He go for Aka Chashu Ramen~ 2 slices of chashu and half-ajitama. The spiciness is mild and the soup base is not as thick as my Kuro chashu ramen. Mine is Kuro chashu ramen - the broth is thick and creamy and I love the unique aroma that created from the combination of Fried Shallots and Garlic Flavour Oil. Dont be surprises with the constant shout from the kitchen staffs when they drain the cooked ramen (swing the drain net and let the hot water splash on the floor). It's worth for the wait I would say.
