Oishii Ramen at Tun H.S. Lee: Restaurant Review

On a street of shop-houses more known for Malay fried village chicken, Chinese beef noodles and Indian chapatis and curries, this little outlet still enjoys brisk lunchtime business with its promise of big bowls of steaming-hot Japanese ramen.

Nagasaki Ramen

Unlike many of its ramen peers in KL, Oishii is a no-pork outlet, but mercifully, that isn’t equivalent to no-pleasure, as this Nagasaki ramen (RM16) with plenty of prawns, calamari and corn might prove. The broth’s OK; not remarkably rich, but far from weak or watered-down.

Sapporo Ramen

Buttery-spicy Sapporo ramen with chicken cha-siu. Absolutely acceptable for RM15.

Sushi

Don’t feel like noodling around? No fear: Oishii also supplies other Land-Of-The-Rising-Sun specialties, like super-hearty sushi topped with scallops and eel.

Beer

No sake is served, so folks must make do with Asahi beer, nice and cold nonetheless.
