Look for the charming replica of a noodle vending machine: This is the new branch of the Shishido family of ramen restaurants, launching in LaLaport Bukit Bintang City Centre, the first Shishido in KL after two in PJ.
While Menya Shishido is famed for funky flavours, its classics with thoughtful twists prove our best bet - the lemon shoyu ramen (with seaweed add-on) boasts a balanced brightness to uplift the broth’s umami, enjoyable enough to potentially earn the endorsement of Tsutomu Yamazaki.
“Contemplate the ramen. Carefully observe the entire bowl while savouring the aroma. The jewels of fat twinkling on the surface, the nori darkening with moisture, the scallions floating on top. Above all, the stars of the show, the slices of roast pork, modestly submerged.” Tampopo, 1985
