Shan Mu @ Taman Connaught, Cheras

This café has been here and there on my social media for quite a long time, my friends have visited for numerous times and told me about it, yet I didn’t make chance to locate it. I just kept it in my list and thinking… okay, one day I will go. Until one day, I found out that it was actually located right next to my favourite Sabah’s sang nyuk mien pork noodles place!

Shan Mu 山木

Shan Mu is a humble hidden place located right next to Sin Hing Long Sabah Pork Noodle and also sharing the same row with Madam Chiam Curry Noodle House . Totally unnoticeable until I put in extra 10 seconds to observe the wooden signboard and the wooden entrance. So artistic!

The interior is filled with rustic wood craft feel. Warm wood accents with comfortable seating, the walls are adorned with an artistic touches and even filled with soft lighting creates an inviting atmosphere. I find calmness inside here. Best to chill with a book and coffee or a chat date with bffs.

Located at Desa Sri Hartamas, sharing the same row with Kyomo (used to be known as Shin Nihon) and Itsumo Japanese Yakitori (used to be known as Toridoki), Ramen Minamo is the new face that popped up at this row of happening eateries.

Ramen Minamo KL (30)

Ramen Minamo is led by Chef Chihiro Miyazaki of Tokyo’s Michelin Bib Gourmand, Soranoiro Ramen that’s specializing in vegan ramen. But here in Malaysia, he is introducing the hearty bowls of chicken broth based ramen! Yay to this new ramen place in KL because this is the place where you can enjoy Tori Paitan ramen! As Japan is a four season country, Chef Miyazaki also plans to introduce new recipe here in Minamo every 3 months, something that reflects the changing of seasons as accordingly in Japan.

Ramen Minamo is very serious about their ramen; they have a huge sheet of paper as placemat, with all the answers to the questions that one may ask. For example: the ingredients added in to make the hearty soup base, time taken to cook the soup, and even the water pH to make the soup base also listed out.
