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!

Dubu Dubu Midvalley Review

Heard good things about Dubu Dubu korean restaurant. Everytime we went there for lunch it would always be full. So this time we had an early lunch so we could secure a seat.

Place was quite empty at 11am

I had a hot barley tea which tasted like brown rice tea. Imagine soaking brown rice in water for a while and drinking that. This was refillable.

Wife had the citrus tea which had a sweet and sour flavour. The bottom looks like citrus skin which was mostly sweet and mildly bitter (in a good sense). This was nice, I should have ordered this.

The Toboki was not very good, it tastes much better at Food Garden, a food court located at The Gardens mall. Found the rice cakes were too soft till a mushy like texture but yet very chewy. The sauce was nothing to shout about, spicy, sweet and watery.

Can't say much about the side dishes they gave, pickled vege, kimchi, bean sprouts, kosong soup. Not worth the extra ringgit for the set. However, I quite liked the Dolsot Bibimbap. The presentation wasn't really that appealing, the colors were dull but after mixing it all up, it tasted quite good. Probably the best bibimbap i've ever had (I've only had bibimbap at maybe 3 other places).

Bulgogi was extremely generous with onions, not sure if bulgogi is suppose to be that way. Anyway, the beef was not carmalised enough, we are normally use to beef being browned so they have a slight crispyness to it.

Won't be returning too soon, maybe just to try the Korean spicy wings set which is quite raved about at goodyfoodies. I would rather head to my favourite korean place at Amcorp Mall.
