Ramen Minamo みなも
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 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.
Here is Chef Takuya in action.

I once underestimated the weather in Switzerland. I thought it will be okay doing this because I am not up on any mountains (plus, I didn’t bring far exceed estimation kind of outer layer along). But boy, I was wrong LOL. That day, the weather …

Back to my peng leng jeng series! This round I found another peng leng jeng zi char place in Cheras or near Cheras (Taman Pertama is considered quite cheras gua)!
Tai Thong Seafood Restaurant 大同海鲜饭店
Located at Taman Pertama, Tai Thong Seafood Restaurant is a no frills Chinese zi char place that serves really delicious and flavourful plates, come with great wok hei too! Dining in here is really affordable. Extremely peng leng jeng I tell you guys. I have visited twice and on average, by pax is about Rm 25 or less and you get fish, vege, meat and tofu as a full meal.
The first visit, four of us had the steamed fish bak suk gung, signature tofu, gu lou yok and a kangkung, the bill came up at about Rm 100. On our second visit, there were six of us. We ordered 5 dishes that included Steamed Fish and siong tong lala; the bill was only Rm 142.
Hand written menu on the board. The captain will introduce you dishes when ordering too.
Weekdays and weekends, this place is really crowded. Be sure to come earlier to chop table or you may have to end up standing at the roadside to wait for a table. I guess they accept reservation too, as I saw vacant tables with “reserved” sign. And… if you don’t mind sitting by the roadside to dine, here is really the place you can always go with your family. I believe Chinese families would love the dishes here a lot!
Stir-fry Kangkung with Belacan 马来风光
Our usual order of kangkung belacan no matter where we dine in; theirs was quite good and filled with wok hei.
