ICHIBAN RAMEN

I am a big fan of Japanese ramen. I will never get bored with ramen from Ajisen Ramen. However, there is none in Johor Bahru. I tried many ramen stores and they all suck. The worst are those with char siew meat as hard as solid metal and soggy ramen. This one is still acceptable to me.

They basically designed the interior with lotsa timber. I don't really fancy timber interiors, especially when it is overdone. It feels like a wooden house on stilts or something.

The blinds though is good for privacy as well as helping to diffuse the lights.

I ordered the green tea.

Lee Ling as always a diehard unagi fan must order something with unagi.

Some deep friend squid. It is well done and I do love it.

The ramen I ordered was with chicken. Upon reaching the seats, I noticed Ichiban Ramen is a Halal store. That means there is no pork. How can you have ramen without char siew and soup cooked hours with pig's big bones? Arggh!!! I know from Japanese drama that some of the best ramen cooks in Japan cook their soup with pig's bones 24 hours non-stop with fire. Too late for me to leave, but well, still my priority is to taste the noodles. I keep convincing myself that it is fine. Let me try ramen with no pork.

Me, feeling satisfied with Halal ramen. Although not the best ramen I ever tasted, it is better than nothing. The noodles are nice and the soup is ok.
