Klang Valley: Hakata Ippudo Ramen, Pavilion

Klang Valley: Hakata Ippudo Ramen, Pavilion – Ramen craze back again. Ever since I had ramen in Singapore – Marutama & Ippudo, then at 1 Utama – Menya Musashi, I am so in love with very good ramen and the soup. I had Ippudo in Singapore before so I know it’s good, the recent opening of the outlet at Pavilion, KL makes me feels excited and so last week I went to try it out with my babe.

We went there with an exciting and hungry feeling. Just as in Singapore, you have to wait, not queue, but give your name to the receptionist and they will call your name when it’s ready to be seated. Not so long for 2 seats, less than 10 minutes of wait and we were in!

The interiors are very interesting, modern, mysterious, dark with loud pop music playing, just as the outlet in Mandarin Gallery, Singapore, but bigger space. Without much hesitation, it’s food time!

We ordered a Akamaru Tamago (RM30+) which the soup is cooked with Ippudo’s secret miso, garlic oil, belly chasu served with kikurage, bean sprouts and spring onions. Awesome max, I suggest you get this instead of the standard Shiromaru Motoaji. Yummy, but it’s a little bit salty, but after all it’s good. (On par with Menya Musashi’s but I tend to favor towards Menya’s because I can control the soup with the garlic and chili oil).

There’s also rice – Hakata Meshi (RM11+) which is rice topped with chashu and mentaiko, served with shredded egg omeletter. This is a nice one too!

Lastly, the small side dish that we ordered was the Baruketsu Tofu (RM18+), spicy tofu and minced pork with crispy noodle in hot stone pot. Somehow, the one I had in Singapore was nicer as the noodle was way crispier and the gravy was more saturated, it’s a bit waterish here.

Nice atmosphere and location for ramen, price wise cheaper than in Singapore, but if were to pick the best ramen broth, sorry my choice will go to Menya Musashi.

Chinese New Year Is Almost Here At Pavilion, Bukit Bintang

Chinese New Year Is Almost Here At Pavilion, Bukit Bintang -Two more weeks to Chinese New Year, the Snake year, are you ready to celebrate this best-of-the-best Chinese festival of the year? Almost all shopping malls are decorated with ching chong Chinese New Year decorations and all competing to show the best decor of all the lure customers.

Well, it’s fun to see the decoration, feel the atmosphere, but I feel most important is that your mall must have good parking, cheap parking, good shops, cheap buys not just good decor. Last Saturday I went to the city, famous shopping district Bukit Bintang for some CNY shopping and it’s fun, spent for like almost whole day at there and the traffic in the city was so traffic, the street was so crowded with people, especially Pavilion where the super red red Chinese New Year decoration attracts so many visitors. I went there to see see also. =D

Well, my ass, my body is so itchy for Chinese New Year now, 2 more weeks of work to go and it’s gonna be slacky and slow, and I don’t care already, Chinese New Year DAI SAI. HAHA.

Have you got the feeling of Chinese New Year for this year Snake Year already?

Taiwan Hot-Star Large Fried Chicken @ Pavilion, KL

Taiwan Hot-Star Large Fried Chicken @ Pavilion, KL – Hot-Star Large Fried Chicken is very famous in Taiwan where many people queue for the large fried chicken fillet. Now it has come to Malaysia and there’s two outlet, one at SS15 and another at the basement of Pavilion shopping mall. I always very tempted to try it out, curious that why is it so popular in Taiwan and last week, I bought myself a piece of original large fried chicken.

This kinda of large fried chicken is a street snack origin from Taiwan. You can normally find them in pasar malam in Malaysia and it’s not healthy because of the deep fried cooking method. Haha.

It costs RM7.90 for a piece of Hot-Star Large Fried Chicken, RM1 – RM2 more than those typical large fried chicken at pasar malam. You can also ask for the level of spiciness. I ordered a mid-spicy level one. What’s so special about it is it’s really very huge, they guarantee the fried chicken fillet is 30cm long and seriously, it’s that big. First few bites is pretty good, but after that I felt I have enough of it, it’s too big and I felt full after eating half of it. Hahaha. One thing, it takes a while for your fried chicken to be ready as they fried upon your order. You get a drinks with the set @ RM9.65 (only ice lemon tea available).

If there’s a chance, I’m gonna try the original one in Taiwan Shihlin. Anyway, I prefer KFC more than this one. How about you?

Typo At Pavilion, Kuala Lumpur & Bought iPad Sleeve

Typo At Pavilion, Kuala Lumpur & Bought iPad Sleeve – Do you know Typo? Typo is a stationery & decor shop by the Australian boutique company Cotton On. I now only know it’s located at 4th floor of Pavilion, beside Snowflakes. Two weeks ago, I was in Singapore and I went to look for Typo at there too, never know that Malaysia has an outlet too.

Typo is now one of my favourite stationery shop because of the hippy, cool stationery like notebooks, pen, planner, accessories and more with cool graphics and typography. I bought an PU iPad sleeve at there too! RM60 only, to protect my iPad from, especially the Smart Cover from getting dirty. =D One thing, I realised some stuff here is kinda expensive compare to Singapore’s.

Cool right? During my visit to Singapore, I bought some huge alphabet decor for my room:

Typo is cool! Looking forward for Muji’s opening in Malaysia by the way.

I am a fan of MUJI although the price is rather expensive, but the simplicity of the design is just awesome. I like the stationery the most, can’t wait to visit it in April 2012 at Pavilion to do some shoppings. Last time in high school, my pencil case was full of MUJI pens that I bought from MUJI Singapore + Bangkok.
