Brussels Beer Cafe Jaya One Review


Finally decided to try the set lunch at Brussels Beer cafe at Jaya One.
The set lunches come with a drink and access to the buffet salad bar.

Perfect view of the salad bar
The set lunch is well worth with the salad bar included. I loved the potato salad and the herb flavored croutons.

The mashed potato was hard and chewy, could have been old or overmashed. The bratwurst was nice though when combined with the mash and gravy.
Farmer Bratwurst RM15 set lunch
This bacon & egg panini set came with hand cut fries. I rarely see that nowadays especially at this price.
Bacon & Egg Panini RM12.80
Overall great value for a sunday lunch, great service and would definitely pay another visit. Will need to keep track of their menu as it rotates 4 set lunch menus every week.
















Goku Raku Ramen Midvalley Review

This is my second visit to Goku Raku Ramen after over a year. From what I remembered, they have great tonkotsu ramen.

Ordering is a little bit tricky, when ordering ramen, its not just point at the picture and that what you get..
When you place an order, you have a choice of a Tonkotsu ramen or the Tokyo ramen.

Choose main soup:
Tonkotsu = pork base
Tokyo = seafood base

Choose sub-soup base:
Original, shoyu or miso

Choose size:
Small: 1 ball of noodle
Medium: 1.5 balls of noodles
Large: 2 balls of noodles
Price of medium and large is the same. 

Choose noodle type:
Thin or flat

That completes the ordering.

I ordered the Super Charsiu Tonkotsu Ramen with Original Tonkotsu soup.
Super charsiu tonkotsu ramen RM25.90
Can you see the creaminess of the soup?

The gyoza came later.. I ordered this because of how it looked in the menu. Its kinda interesting that they have a giant piece of crispy flour attached to the gyoza.
Gyoza (small) RM8.90
Too bad the gyoza was tasteless.. I'm not sure if it was meant to be like that. Dipping it in vinegar made it taste better. Won't be ordering that anymore.

Back to my ramen.. The soup was full of volume. This is probably cause they boil their stock for very long hours. The charsiu was so tender that it started to melt as I lift it up with my chopsticks. It tasted absolutely heavenly!

Super Charsiu ramen 20 minutes later..
The large really has a lot of noodles, I think I would get the regular next time. It is the same price as large, I guess I wouldn't mind having more soup hehe.. Simply delicious!
