First time: Kichitora Ramen

Today, me and my parents went to a mall, and saw a ramen house named 'Kichitora Ramen'. My mom wanted to eat there, so we tried it.


The place is very nice and neat. Very minimalist in terms of decor. Its quite small, but very cozy.


This is what I ordered, hot spicy miso ramen.
First of, I seldom eat Japanese ramen. I don't know what a real Japanese ramen should taste like.

I like the noodles of this ramen house. Psychologically, when I see any type of noodles, especially egg noodles that are yellow colored, I would automatically assume that this would have a very starchy taste to it. But, it does not have that starchy taste.

On top, you can see the bamboo shoot. I'm not sure if it is meant to be served cold, or you need to mix it with the soup, but it is cold.

The meat is flavorful, although not all piece are "juicy", some are very dry.

Now for the broth, I think the broth is the most important part of a ramen. Since I order a spicy one, I'm expecting a right balance of the taste of the soup, and the hotness. For me, its just so so? It taste good, but not as good as the others that I  have tried before. Also, the soup is quite oily for me, maybe because of the spicy oil to it. Whenever I tried to sip the soup, I feel the texture is a bit the same with oil texture.

(Chicken Teriyaki)

You will either love or hate their chicken teriyaki. The meat is tender, and juicy. The taste is also good. The only downside, its salty. Salty in a way that this could be paired with rice. I think they also serve chicken teriyaki with rice, need to try that next time.

cons:
- Their serving time is slow. It took for more than 30mins for our ramen to be erved. The chicken teriyaki was served last, it took almost a hour. We were almost done with our ramen.
Ps: it is already 3pm when we dine, they are only serving one table that time.

Overall, I would probably give this 
7/10
