Food Hunt: Goku Raku Ramen, Paradigm Mall, Kelana Jaya

Hello what's up everybody!

Welcome back to yet another edition of Food Hunt and today ME & Kimmy had visited Paradigm Mall and it's Kimmy first time visiting the mall. We had a great walk (about 2 hours) visiting almost each and every fashion shops and eventually bought something as well. After a long walk, we've surveyed for lots of food & beverages restaurant and for us too choose is too many and finally we've put our trust to try out Japanese Food. We have visited  Goku Raku Ramen and it's our first Food & Beverages that we've tried over here. Goku Raku Ramen has 3 branches and the latest one would be here instead of Mid Valley Megamall and Gurney Paragon in Penang. It's also the owner of Sushi Zanmai and Pasta Zanmai as well.

We have to queue for about 5 minutes before we get our seat and frankly speaking we reach the restaurant at about 7.00pm and the restaurant is already full. After 7.30pm, there's a long queue waiting to be seated. So my advice would be go there early during weekends although during weekdays it's packed too. Once we sat down, we were served with the menu and then we thoroughly looked at the menu to decide what to order. Now since we got 2 persons, I've ordered the rice while Kimmy ordered the Ramen to see which is the best.

Ultimate Tonkotsu Ramen (RM16.90)

Stamina Don (RM17.90)

Kimmy ordered the Ultimate Tonkotsu Ramen (RM16.90) while I've ordered the Stamina Don (RM17.90). For drinks, both of us ordered Green Tea (RM2.90 per glass). Now what is the ingredients inside Ultimate Tonkotsu Ramen? Tonkotsu Broth Noodles is topped with Char Siew, Flavoured Egg, Black Fungus, Spring Onion, Leek, Bamboo Shoot, Seaweed and Fragrant Garlic Oil. You can choose the small or big portion as well. Kimmy ordered the small portion. The Ultimate Tonkotsu Ramen is good except the soup is very salty. If you love salty, then this meal is perfect for you but if you don't then sorry to say it's not nice. Besides, if you feel salty, you can add the curry powder (that is provided at the table) and mix together with the soup to dine and it's far more better and more acceptable taste as well. You may try out this dish but do not expect too much for its Ramen quality. Kimmy also complained that since the soup very salty, it will make you more thirstier as well.

For the Stamina Don, it's a bowl of Pan-Fried Pork Slices in Special Sauce on Rice. There's only 1 standard portion of this rice set and there's no big nor small. The standard portion looks pretty big and good as well and the presentation of this dish looks tempting too. Again, the Pork Slices is pretty salty but when you eat together with the rice, it becomes tasty and delicious because the rice is well prepared like the sushi rice. The rice fragrance was amazing and it matches the Pork Slices that is salty and this makes the whole rice set look pretty nice and delicious. Recommended to try out this dish!

Unbelievable! That's what I want to say because the rice set is better than the Ramen as this shop is specialize for Ramen. The price is quite expensive especially the Ramen where Kimmy have to pay RM16.90 for a small set of Ramen which we think it's not worth the price and it's very small portion. But the rice set is acceptable in terms of the portion based on the price. We have to pay RM47.10 including 16% tax and for me it's very expensive. So, if you are here, do try out the rice instead of the Ramen. Enjoy! MY RATING: 4/5 ; KIMMY RATING: 3/5
