Standing in front of Goku Raku Ramen or 極樂, Attila and I are wondering if to have our Japanese lunch here. Then, the waitress attends to us and says that 'Our Ramen is imported from Japan and it's originally from Japan'. To our curiosity, it's a must for us to try the Ramen here.
Attila has been so excited to find his favourite pork meat as various dishes in the menu. We've decided to order Gyoza or pork dumpling and Buta Katsu or simply the deep fried pork chop that is served with special egg sauce, as our starters.
The mixture of minced pork with parsley inside the dumpling is juicy yet the skin is too crispy. We both agree that the thin dumpling skin is not completing the tastiness of the meat. The pork chop is a little 'deeply' fried that it's a bit dry but the taste is enhanced by the creamy egg sauce with its saltiness. The sauce by itself is very appetizing.
Our greediness has urged us to share a bowl of Mini Don and a bowl of soupy Ramen. The Mini Don is in fact the mini bowl of rice and we've chosen the Kobuta Meshi or pan-fried pork cubes with sauce on the rice. I love this dish so much because the pork meat has been 'stewed' that it becomes so tender and juicy by absorbing the soy sauce completely. One piece of pork, one spoon of rice; it's indeed the most wonderful moment. Besides, we've taken the Ultimate Ramen in Tonkotsu soup. The Ramen is served Char Siew, egg, black fungus, bamboo shoot, seaweed and being garnished with spring onion, leek and fragrant garlic oil. The soup is somehow too salty for me, yet to my surprise is the tender noodle. It has indeed reminded me about the packet Ramen that is imported from Japan, it's just the original taste.
The meal at Goku Raku is a total satisfaction for us. The most to our remembrance is the Kobuta Meshi and the Tonkotsu soup. I do remember as well that I don't dare to try the egg because of its uncooked and watery egg white. But, we'll come again...
