Marutama

Ever since I tried my very first bowl of ramen, I’ve made it my life goal to find the best ramen restaurant in KL. After searching high and low, I still think marutama ramen has the best ramen! Many of you might debate that Ippudo is better but to me, this ramen beats any other ramen hands down.
First of all, the broth of the ramen at marutama ramen is creamy and thick like how a perfect tonkatsu broth should be. The flavor is just indescribable. The noodles are also cooked to just the right amount of chewiness. In addition to that, the Charsu here is something you must try! The texture is perfect and melts in your mouth as you bite into it. Of course I’ve saved the last and best to talk about which is the egg. The egg is absolute perfection. Perfectly seasoned with a beautiful golden centre. The ramen is best eaten which the fried garlic flakes given.
The waiters here are also friendly and the service is fast. Pricing is quite affordable in comparison to Ippudo which is much pricier.

I am quite a big fan of ramen and have been looking for a decent ramen shop that meet the quality of the ones that I had in Singapore and Perth. And it has been sometime since, I am back here in KL, I have not been able to find one good bowl of ramen here.
I was at Empire Subang for a work assignment and it was about to be lunch time. I decided to have lunch before I head back to the office. I was passing by Marutama and the staff mending the entrance approach me with the menu.
It looks good from the images and I decided to have some ramen for lunch. I ordered the spicy soup ramen without the cha siu, not a big fan of Japanese cha siu. I ordered a side of gyoza.
The ramen was decent, but I still feel something is lacking while the gyoza was good. The waiters were attentive in refilling my green tea and food came pretty fast.
