Original Tonkotsu Ramen at Menya Musashi Jalan P.Ramlee KL

Just had this yesterday and can't wait to share it with you guys! Menya Musashi, a restaurant that is selling ramen which I've heard rave reviews from the fellow KL food bloggers. 

Honestly speaking, I have never try out authentic original tonkotsu broth. Finally we make time out from our tight schedule.  

There are three branches in the KL city. The first branch is located in One Utama shopping mall, this second branch is located along Jalan P.Ramlee, the newly open located in The Intermark. Lol to myself, stayed in DoubleTree Hilton Intermark for five days but never figured out this. 

We went to the one located in Jalan P.Ramlee. Right before this, we went to One Utama and we glanced through their menu, we realized that both menu from the same restaurant priced differently. The ramen selling in One Utama is more pricey than this. I wonder why. Perhaps the one selling there is chicken broth? Cz I heard that earlier ago this is a Halal restaurant but later on they have change to Non-Halal already. 

Thanks to Mr. Yeap who brought me here. Was craving for authentic tonkotsu for so long already. 

Kanzan Ramen with Fish and Pork Brend  RM21

Slow cook 100% Pork bone broth mix with Musashi's original fish soup stock powder. It serves with 2pcs of roasted pork, Ajitama 1pc, Spring Onion and Black Fungus.

 This ramen serves with original broth with fish soup stock powder. I don't really like this because the stock powder makes the broth over salty and to me is like having soup with full of MSG flavouring. As the essence of ramen is the soup but you can't afford to take much because the powder makes you feel so thirsty. 

Original Tonkotsu Ajitama Ramen RM19

Slow cook 100% Pork bone broth, Musashi's original soup. It serves with 1pc of roasted pork, Ajitama 1pc, Spring Onion and Black Fungus.

I prefer this much more than the earlier one. I simply love my first sip of the broth. It is so rich and flavourful with the right texture of ramen served which is springy and smooth. This original tonkotsu doesn't give you the MSG kind of taste. 

Simply love the dinner that we had yesterday. Not forget to mention, I love the ambience as well. 

We ordered two side dishes which is 3pcs of Gyoza and Teriyaki Pork Rice. Each priced at RM5. Never expected it will be this cheap! I mean based on the kind of restaurant that we dine in. 

All priced at RM5 each. 

I think the Teriyaki Pork Rice tasted not bad but he would prefer if the rice served with more teriyaki sauce. On top of that, he thinks that the pork is too rough and rice is slightly over cooked as it is quite sticky. 

For Gyoza, it is juicy and we loved it. 

The very seducing roasted pork. 

Opps! Over cooked Ajitama! Is a big no-no for ramen restaurant. 

Sadly to say they don't have the runny yolk as what we expected. 

Although he finish the bowl but he still think that Marutama Ramen in Fahrenheit 88 is the best. Indeed, many people said so. He would ranked this after Marutama. Most probably due to the overcooked Ajitama.

But one thing to remark is the efficiency and friendliness of the servers in Menya Musashi. 

I can't finish them as I thought that the entire soup is full of MSG. Anyway, if you intend to try it out, would strongly recommend you to go for their Original Tonkotsu. 

Besides this, they have Spicy Ramen, Miso Ramen, Musashi Garlic Black and Black Sesame TanTan Mee as well.

Appreciate for bringing me practically everywhere to eat. 

Is only walking distance from the restaurant to KLCC. 

Right at the back is KL Tower already. Prime location so get ready to pay for parking fee with at least RM5. 

Located along Jalan P.Ramlee.

I'm currently in Suria KLCC *10th of October 2.40pm* drafting this post. Going crazy soon because of my stupid laptop, got really fed up with it! Ahhh...I want to buy a new one! This has been creating so much problem for me! So geram! 

Will be in KL for the whole week to attend Global Startup Youth event. Really find time to sneak out to draft this post. As the hotel wifi is so slow hence I can't really do my things even I managed to go back to the hotel earlier.

Back to this post! The past Sunday before heading here, some of the Penang bloggers have been invited by Nuffnang to attend the Sector Focused Career Fair (SFCF) organized by TalentCorp Malaysia together with GRADUAN in USM! Haha..attending event in my own university feels kind of weird! Lol..

I think I should fulfill my role as a blogger to share briefly about the organizer TalentCorp Malaysia with my fellow university students *perhaps readers like you who may not heard or know about TalentCorp*.

"TalentCorp Malaysia is an organization under the Prime Minister's Department aim to introduce and implement facilitative policies and initiative to nurture, attract and retain top talent for Malaysia. They work closely with the private sector and engage with talents at home and abroad to promote the dynamic and diverse professional opportunities in Malaysia."

TalentCorp has been organizing plenty of SFCF in various public universities aim to educate local students on career paths available and provide a platform to students who intend to explore more on specific field such as Oil and Gas, Electronics and Electrical, IT, Telecommunication, Biotechnology, Finance, Accounting, Healthcare, Tourism, Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) and Education.

Sector Focused Career Fair Facebook Page

Here's the booth of Industry Career Quiz (ICQ) which required students to answer 10 questions about Healthcare, Sciences and Social Sciences Industry with iPad. Those who answered 10 questions correctly within the shortest time given will be winning a brand new iPad and movie tickets.

Some of the participating booths. Pfizer is a biopharmaceutical company that has diversified health care portfolio includes human biological, small molecule medicines and vaccines. 

Frost and Sullivan Malaysia is one of the participating companies. They are one of the top notch consulting firm which provide consulting services including financial analysis, international comparative reports, employee training and client value enhancement seminars for more than 45 years. 

Career Talk is always one of the highlight in career fair, same goes to SFCF! En. Mohd Redzuan Mohd Sofian, the Senior Vice President of Business Eco System Division in IRDA is sharing about the Talent Landscape in Iskandar Malaysia. His insight is thoughtful and the sharing is really amusing! 

Hello to the new friend that I knew during the event. Samantha who is a blogger from Penang studying in KL. ChiaYi whom I always meet in Nuffnang invited events!



The team who is working so hard to share you this awesome event!



Yayy met Yvette in the event as well. USMers published post about USM event. Lol..



End this post with our selfie!



p/s Ahhh..need to rush back to the KL Convention Centre for the conference! 

See you in Penang!

每个人心里的一个刺

什么是朋友？你把它看得太重当你换回的成果不是你想要的，你会怎么做？

会看得很淡觉得世事不是你所能控制的 所以不要那么在意，还是你会放在心上，顾虑很久？

你有时候很在意一些人但是人家根本不当一回事，或是你根本没有被给予那个机会来表示你有多在意他们。

有时候自己要用心交朋友也是要看到底自己有没有那个机会对待那些人，当你没有被给予那机会，但是你又很在乎他们，那么你要如何表达？

我自己的性格是我不想要厚着脸皮做人，如果人家当我是透明的，那么请告诉我，我不需要“贴上门”，自己不开心，自打嘴巴。你开门见山告诉我，那么我就走人。我只是想留个后路给自己，不想搞到那么辛苦。至于这份友情不要也罢，因为对方根本没在意过你，不把你当成一回事，当你是透明。

曾几何时，你放得越深的友谊，到头来伤害就越大。

OmNomNom in Seoul Part 2

Okay there are tons of food pictures in this post. 

My words are not the main purpose you visit here, food pictures are! So now..I'll bring you to explore this incredible food journey that I had in Seoul, Korea! Btw I miss all of them! 

First station! Jejudo! 

Black Pork that I had in Jejudo. People told us we must have this in Jeju and this is our first Samgyeopsal in Korea. The kimchi damn nice cz it absorb all the essence of the pork oil! Superb! We had this near to our hostel which is HK Jeju II. 

And why is this called black pork? Cz no doubt the pig is in black colour! I have the picture but didn't upload it here..:p

Bulgogi Pizza that we takeaway from Pizza Hut cz it is cheaper! Hehe..
*bare with the horizontal picture, I didn't know that till uploaded*
Pizza Hut in Korea is really nice! Very very huge portion with chips on the crust so super crunchy and the crust is very soft.
Anyway I would prefer Mr. Pizza than Pizza Hut due to Mr. Pizza's salad bar but Pizza Hut win in terms of the bigger portion and it is slightly cheaper!
*nothing related: Song Ji Hyo endorsed Mr. Pizza! Hehe!*

City Hall Subway Station

Very random cream puff, just wanted to show you the chocolate cream puff! Hehe..RM1.50 each! 

Long Awaiting Myeong Dong!

p/s Please be aware that the food you have in MyeongDong would be slightly expensive or smaller portion compared to other branches in other places. 

Mandu! The korean dumplings! 

I'm so in love with this! Personally love dumplings especially steam dumplings! Please have it when it is hot and dip it with black vinegar. It tastes very similar to xiao long bao. 

Major love! 

Mandu 8000 won RM24

Kalguksu! Love this too!! The speciality of this dish is the garlic kimchi! You can hardly get this kind of kimchi in traditional korean restaurant but be prepared cz it is spicy and garlicky at the same time!

I shall not say much, I would just tell if you happen to visit Myeong Dong, please look for Kalguksu shop, famous outlet named 明洞饺子, they have two branches in Myeong Dong, you ask around and they shall lead you the way!

Kalguksu 8000 won RM24

BigMac. Ordered this because got hungry so easily as we keep walking around.

Around RM12 (ala carte)

Bulgogi burger

Myeong Dong street food! Miss authentic Tteokbokki very much!

See how huge is the rice cake! I found out this is nicer than the one selling in my uni cafeteria! Not so sticky.
Remember must have this with the soup as well! Is something like our Yong Tau Fu soup.
And no sharing cz we knew that when the auntie staring at us.. ><

One bowl 3000 won RM9

Rice Story Kimchi Fried Rice!

Kimchi Fried Rice around 5000 won RM15

Hey, if you want to have economical yet filling meal then come to Han's Deli! Love their cheese pork cutlet! So good..one of the food that you couldn't get in other places beside Korea so you shouldn't miss this!

Han's Deli Cheese Pork Cutlet around 5000 won RM15

O'sulloc, korean famous green tea retail. Tried once on their green tea latte with ice cream! So expensive so I will only try it once! Lol..erm it is not extraordinary but if you are a green tea lover then why not give it a try.

O'sulloc Green Tea Latte 7000 won RM21

Famous green tea patbingsu! Too big portion so it is for sharing!

Erm..around 9000 to 11000 won? RM30 for a bowl! Haha..don't be surprise! Is normal with this portion of patbingsu!

Oppadak Chicken! Nice nice! You should try this out! It is located somewhere near to the M Plaza if I'm not mistaken.
This platter has two scoops of ice cream as dressing for the salad! Yumm! And the chicken very tender, so far the best fried chicken that I had in Seoul..I did not manage to try out Chicken Mania. Too bad..

12000 or 13000 won RM36

10000 won RM30 

To prevent your hand gets dirty, so they prepare this tong for customers. Why can't we have this in Malaysia huh? So user friendly..

The container to throw chicken bone. Must have fried chicken with beer la if not is a miss!

Hara Donuts! 
This donuts originated from Japan but quite a hit in Korea. Young adults love this because the speciality is it made from soy milk and soy. No water, preservatives and what so ever. You can give it a try anyway since it is only available in Japan and Korea. Hehe..Kind of expensive ya..

Range from 1300 to 1800 won RM5

Next Station Gangnam! 

Oh gosh, major love this food! The shop named Kong-bull! Go check this out! It transform from this! 

To this! Add in rice!

And tadaa! This it is! Is something like Uncle Jang in KL but so much better and cheaper than Uncle Jang! I really miss this food! So so delicious! Dine in during lunch hour is cheaper.

5000 won per person RM15

Wanted to try Okrumong Patbingsu but it closed under renovation so we went to Pasiya.

7000 -8000 won I think..RM18

You can skip the two above but must try this Oreo patbingsu if you go to Pasiya. All of us think this is the best compared to the other two.

Around the same price with the two above. 

You must try this out in Gangnam!!! Best patbingsu I've ever had so far! Wanted to go back for the second time but too bad it closed for renovation!

Ask the locals about Okrumong Patbingsu in Gangnam I think they will be able to lead you the way but it is kinda far from the Gangnam station so you might need to walk quite a distance. :-)
Kong-bull and Okrumong is quite near.



So nice, even my korean friend Sunny also said this is so far the best patbingsu she had ever tasted!

Now we are not in Gangnam..bought this Hershey's ice cream in Seoul Tower convenience store. Thought Malaysia don't have this ice cream so I bought it! Lol..

Hongdae Station

Samtong Chicken in HongDae. Korean loves to have fried chicken with pickle. 

13000 won for two as supper. RM20 for each person. 

KFC! When you want to look for cheaper alternatives for dinner then I will go for fast food cz no need to think and the taste is universal. This is for set of two and they served hard boiled eggs..lol..but the chicken is too small pieces. So might as well you spend more for better food.

4500 won RM13.50 for each person. 

This is cheap in fact not filling! Lol..just wanted to try this out cz we is always full house. When it serves, it is wrap with foil, then you have to press, press, press till the shape that you desired for like a hamburger shape, then you open! Tadaa..can eat la!

2500 won RM7.50

Coco Bruni that I had in Korea. This one cost me RM18! Ishh..can have a pretty nice main course in Penang already! But in Korea you can only buy a cake..:-( We ordered this because of the gold foil on the top! Lol..

6000 won RM18

Another day dinner in Han's Deli! This one not nice so don't order..

This one is better. Opps..sorry I forgot about the price..but it costs around RM18..:-)

Hello Kitty Cafe in HongDae! Guys would feel quite awful to go in! Haha..because everything is in pink! Yet THEY DON'T PROVIDE MALE TOILET!! As if guys won't visit here! Lolol..
my friend said they are sexist! Haha..

Hello Kitty Cake 10000 won RM30

Express Terminal Station (Hangang River)

We had this along Hangang River. Too bad I went there twice but still not able to see the rainbow fountain. Korean always likes to order pizza delivery when they go there. Quite nice though! 

Army Stew in one of the famous retail outlet. Forgot the name but remember the sign has a old uncle face. Army stew is the mixture of sausages, american cheese, macaroni, instant noodle, tteok and assorted vegetables like kimchi and so on.

The food army stew was created dates back to the aftermath of Korean War. Because the meat was scarce, hence the cooks found alternatives to replace the surplus food from the American army base stationed in Seoul, hence the stew's name. :-)

Apgujeong Station

Meal Top Patbingsu. They received rave reviews but I still prefer Okrumong patbingsu. In fact, the ice cream is nice. Very creamy. 

Went for samgyeopsal in garlic and red wine flavour. My korean friend said this shop is frequently visited by SM Entertainment Agency artists. The restaurant name Deung Na Mu Jib. 

Juicy!

Kimchi Kalguksu. Same noodle like the one I told you selling in Myeong Dong, the one that is selling mandu. Both of the ingredients used is the same is just that the difference is the soup.

Ewha Station

As this is beef bibimbap so it is more flavourful compared to the ordinary vege bibimbap.

6000 won RM18

I'm super in love with this udon beef noodle. Both of the food are from the same restaurant but I have no idea what is the shop name..we just randomly walk and bump into this shop!

6000 won RM18

Itaewon Station

This is also a random traditional korean restaurant. Super in love with their bulgogi stew! You see it is still boiling when it served! Too bad they are closed when we went back the second time! :-(
And do you spot the side dishes on the upper right corner? Love that mushroom so much! Wish I can go back again..:-(

7000 won RM21

PARIS BAGUETTE CREAM PUFF! My major love!!!! Please don't miss this out when you go Korea! Is so damn good I tell you! If you are a cream puff lover, you will fall in love on the first bite!
Please have Paris Baguette cream puff when you go Korea!

800 won each RM2.40

Their cake very lovely huh!

Paris Baguette patbingsu. Very normal one..

Random places

Tosokchon Samgyetang! The very famous shop for samgyetang! Is so delicious..I also miss this very very much!! Slightly regret for not going back the second time. Click here for the exact location.

15000 won RM45

You can drink this glass of ginseng wine solely or add it in the soup!

Ishh..why didn't go back again! :-(

Schneepang is a kind of waffle ball which is topped with different flavours. When we ordered, we wonder how to eat this.

2900 won RM9

Then the server knock the ball with a small hammer and it breaks into small pieces. It tasted quite normal, we ordered this out of curiosity. Lol..

Dongbinggo patbingsu in Ichondong. Erm..is famous as well cz have to queue for quite long but I think this is due to the very limited seats in the cafe. You know right..illusion to make you think it is highly rated.

Anyway, still have to give credit to the Royal Milk Tea Bingsu on the right. This is much better compared to the ordinary red bean bingsu.

Random pictures that I captured in the hypermarket. :-)

Rice cake! Who loves?! 

Giant size crab meat! See the top row. 

Super "fat" sausages! 

Pineapple ring but so expensive! RM15 each! Expensive one goes up to RM18. o.O

Lots of shabu shabu meat!

Very cute melon! But price also very "cute". RM53 for a melon!!

Cheese instant sausage! Not everyone can accept the taste! 

Bulgogi. 

Our Popcorn when we watch 4D World War Z movie! So awesome with the 4D experience but it costs us RM54. Still worth it with the experience gained..:-)

Giant size popcorn in two flavour! Garlic and cheese! Can't even finish with 3 people sharing! 

That's it for all the pictures! Finally..phew! Not able to upload all so I just picked some of the really nice one to show you. 

It can be your guideline when you travel to Korea or leave it as a memories to me then! Helpful for me one day if I happen to be back to Korea again..hehe! 

My top 3 must have food in Seoul

1. Samgyetang (Tosokchon)

2. Okrumong Patbingsu (Gangnam) 

3. Buffet Bbq Samgyeopsal (Hoegi/Hongdae)

and many more to go but this is anyway the top three based on my preference!
