Ippudo 2016 Grand Menu @ The Gardens Mall

My craving for spicy ramen satisfied! As you know I love spicy food and that include ramen as well. I tried the new Karaka-Men which come in 3 levels of spiciness, guess which level I go for? By the way, that day we also tried a good selection of Ippudo Malaysia 2016 Grand Menu @ Ippudo Gardens Mall.

Ippudo 2016 Grand Menu @ Gardens Mall

When you think of Ippudo the first thing that comes to your mind is their ramen right but then, Ippudo also serves a delectable selections of appetizer, side dishes and desserts. Let’s eat!

Peperon Edamame, RM9

Peperon Edamame, RM9

We started the evening with Peperon Edamame, its blanched edamame tossed in dried chilli, 7 japanese spices and olive oil. It’s quite flavourful and the level of spiciness is moderate and tolerable by majority. The Peperon Edamame is great to go with a chill beer.

Hakata Hitokuchi Nigiri, RM14 (for 4 pcs)

Hakata Hitokuchi Nigiri, RM14 (for 4 pcs)

This is a hand roll served with sliced omelet and sliced basil topped with char siew sauce and mentaiko. After tasting the Peperon Edamame, this Hakata Hitokuchi Nigiri becomes slightly bland. The rice is soft and I get the hint of mentaiko if can add a bit if kick then it will be great.

Soft Shell Crab Bun, RM10

Soft Shell Crab Bun, RM10

I don’t mind another serving of this, the Soft Shell Crab Bun is a must try. I love crab so this is awesome, the size of the soft shell crab is quite big and its fresh. 

Soft Shell Crab Bun

Look at the juicy deep fried soft shell crab flesh sandwiched between the fluffy steamed bun with bit of teriyaki sauce and mayonnaise.

Ippudo Takoyaki, RM14

Ippudo Takoyaki, RM14

This classic Japanese favourite octopus dumplings served with takoyaki sauce is moderate.

Salmon Foil Yaki, RM20

Salmon Foil Yaki, RM20

This is steamed salmon head with assorted vegetables and chill padi in vinegary ponzu sauce. It’s spicy and sourish.

Karaka-Men, RM27.90

Karaka-Men, RM27.90

Ippudo Spicy Ramen is one of my favourite. This Karaka-Men is Ippudo original tonkotsu broth served with special spicy miso, cashew nuts and ground pork with 3 level of spiciness to choose from. We started with level 1, the spiciness is moderate and can be accepted by majority. Then I decided to try the level 3 to see how spicy it can be. Well I still can tolerate level 3, yes its spicy at the same time its more flavourful as well because of the spicy miso paste. After that my body starts to become hot and sweating.

Ice Cream Bun, RM12.90

Ice Cream Bun, RM12.90

After all the spicy stuff I need this cold ice cream bun to cool down. This is a combination of vanilla and green tea ice cream served with deep fried buns. As you know Ippudo’s buns are really soft inside and crispy outside. Eat with vanilla ice cream is soothing. The green tea ice cream I eat it on its own and don’t forget the strawberry as well.

Overall I had a decent dining experience that evening. Their services are great and place are pleasant too. I like the spicy Karaka-Men and the Soft Shell Crab Bun.
