Love Nutrient Ichiran Ramen (一兰拉面) @ Causeway Bay (铜锣湾), Hong Kong (香港)

When i of the big names for Japanese Ramen- Ichiran Ramen rootage stormed Hong Kong few years ago, the queue was absurd too never had I idea that the queue remains relentless afterwards the tendency cools down. We joined the queue inward belatedly evening- slight by nine pm too the queue was extended to ii shops away from Ichiran. We waited patiently for one-half an lx minutes too managed to squelch our agency inward the shop, nosotros thus constitute out that the queue continued within too for around other one-half an hour. We managed to secure our seats. The one-hour waiting fourth dimension seems to last extremely normal for Ichiran, inward fact, it could become every bit long every bit ii hours at sure enough days. The seating scheme across all Ichiran branches is standardized too uniform thus the signature i mortal i spot remains unchanged. Despite the long queue, the character did non disappoint. The Ramen was lip-smacking too I'd dearest to provide in i lawsuit again but non every bit good sure enough if I am willing to queue for an lx minutes in i lawsuit again though. 


Signature Ichiran Ramen- Normal (HKD $89)


Signature Ichiran Ramen- 4X Spicy (HKD $89)

One of the winning factors of Ichiran Ramen is the splash of Chili paste, which introduces a sleek but addictive spiciness to the seemingly apartment Pork os broth. Ichiran Ramen offers the flexibility for its diners to customize their Ramen- from greasiness to thickness of the broth, the add-on of Japanese Roast Pork to Spring Onions, the texture of Ramen to the spiciness level; diners tin push clit out whatsoever ingredients that produce non arrange their palates. The Malaysian inward me urged me to become for spicier version too I did. I had the 4X spiciness too to last frank, it was non actually that spicy (for nearly Malaysians). The estrus was correct to invite the appetite too it cuts through the greasy Pork Bone broth. To my surprise, the seasoning was spot on. Even alongside the intense flavors (of Chilies, Pork Bone broth etc), the saltiness was perfectly balanced. Hands down, easily i of the best Ramen brands around.
