Was supposed to try out Hokkaido Ichiba but after viewing the menu, the food seems kinda normal and alittle pricey. Rebecca and I decided to try out Harajuku Rice instead. Harajuku Rice is just beside Starbucks. Looks like any typical cafe but their ramen is pretty good. Another good news? It serves pork :) Pork is good. Good to have pork. To have pork is good. Pork is.....uh, okay I shall stop here.
The entrance to Harajuku. Cool art work
Huge Menu - In terms of size
Becky's order, Tongkotsu Green Noodle(RM13.80)
Mix of fats and lean cuts

Becky's order was tasty. Tasty, not salty. I was surprised that it didn't taste like any typical cafe where their soup for such noodles or ramen would be quite salty. Portion wise, from what I see in Becky's bowl was pretty satisfying with the amount of noodles and meat. Actually I'm not sure if its noodles or ramen. I think it should be ramen although it states 'noodles' in the receipt.
Spicy Pork Mayo Ramen(RM14.80)
Mayo with ramen? Yeap. That's what the menu said. First taste of the soup was very surprising. It wasn't spicy at all. It was more kimchi-like but not too sourish. It was just the right taste to invite you to a warm tasty meal. The presence of mayo was not even noticeable. It looks like any typical laksa but tasted otherwise, in a nice way.
Pretty generous with their ramen and pork.
The springy ramen
Me and Becky tried to figure out what was in this dish apart from the kimchi like flavors but it was hard to tell. All I can say is, its definitely worth a try. First taste of the soup opened up my appetite. I'm just glad that its not too salty. Same as Becky's order, it was tasty without all the saltiness of the soup. The ramen noodles on the other hand was okay. Initially, I thought that the ramen noodle was soggy but it was actually pretty smooth and springy to the bite.
Do check out the place as they also have some great looking desserts.
Also, thanks Becky for letting me try out the NEX 3 camera by Sony. These pix are taken using the NEX :)

Tried their rice dish. Portion was small, pricey and just so so! Hokkaido Ichiba though expensive but their food is superb! Way better than Rakuzen on menu choice. My 2 cents.
ReplyDeleteHi there,
ReplyDeleteThanks alot for your comment. Don't get me wrong, we didnt brush aside Hokkaido Ichiba because of the price.
I'll probably give Hokkaido Ichiba a try in the future.
As for Harajuku's rice dishes, I haven't tried it yet so I can't comment. So far I kinda like the Spicy pork ramen. Thanks tho :P
