[Non-halal] Ain’t no partay like a ramen partay! 

We heard so many great things about this place, so we were pretty excited to finally try Menya Shi-Shi Do! We went all out! Since it’s my first time, I ordered the shiro soup as a point of reference to the other soup flavours. The verdict: milky, flavourful, umami-rich pork bone broth that is close to perfection. It was so good on its own!.

• 

evertheless, I HAD to top my noodles with the Yaki Buta (RM29) option – perfectly caramelised BBQ pork belly with melt-in-the-mouth fat and tender meat. Soooo indulgent but soooo good! In fact, I think this trumps its standard pork shoulder chasu slices.

The other two soup base we tried were Kura (black garlic), and Aka (spicy). If you like garlic and/or spicy, you really cant go wrong with these choices – they should satisfy your cravings. There is also the option to mix two soup bases – but i suggest trying out their single soup bases first (or come with many friends, like we did!) Noodles were served al-dente with a nice bite and chewiness, and ajitama eggs were on point.

• 

Tsukumen lovers should be satisfied too  with the perfect, thick and flavourful dipping broth.

Forget Ippudo and Ichiran, we believe Menya Shi-Shi is the closest thing to authentic Hakata-style ramen from Fukuoka. Come with a voracious appetite and leave satisfied. There’s usually a queue here, so come early for lunch.
