LWIN LEE | RAMEN KANBE ら～めん神戸 @ EMPIRE DAMANSARA

Deviating from the common Japanese style of heavily pork-flavoured cloudy soup (tonkatsu broth), Ramen Kanbe ops to take the road less taken by singularizing in a more salubrious way but not compromising on the food quality per se.

Securing a rather oblivious corner at Empire Damansara, one still get to feast on the placid environment around it. If you are coming from the main entrance -Heritage Lane, just proceed straight the main concourse where you would see a spiral staircase in the middle, walk straight towards the small lane opening in the front and tada, Ramen Kanbe is just located on your right! Not that hidden after all right? (=

The grandeur dangling red chandeliers along with the warm lighting daintily enlivening up the space, thus creating a very relaxed and comfortable environment for its diners. Coupled with swift and friendly service easily, it immortalizes a vivid dining memorably.

Having been in operations since Feb 2014, Ramen Kanbe is still staying to its root by using only the authentic custom made soy sauce, all the way brought in from Kobe, Japan. It is said that this is the key to the deliciousness of their Japanese signatures.

  

The promise delivered to you by RAMEN KANBE ら～めん神戸

Soup

Umami is extracted from vegetables and chicken bones by boiling longer hours. It is a plain type of soup but it is well-seasoned with body. It is critical for authentic Ramen serving

Custom made Soy Sauce

Mixed two kinds of authentically brewed soy sauce, add in high quality kelp from Hokkaido and salt for good flavor

Noodle

We developed house-made straight noodle using flour specifically picked for Ramen noodle. It is made and left for a while at the shop, to serve at the most delicious timing. It has good texture with springiness and firmness, which will be kept to the end by suppressing boiling elongation. It contains no artificial colorants, so the noodle only shows the natural colors reacted by lye water

Topping

Roast pork, Bean sprout, Leek, Laver, Cloud ear mushroom

Roasted port fillet is house-made with secret sauce and kelp. It tastes good when fresh from oven, so we cook it every day

Menu is pretty straightforward, but sufficient to save you from any headache or indecisiveness when ordering.

Itatatakimas!

WANTAN RAMEN MYR 21

Strands of springy ramen noodles served with wantan and slices of roast pork. The fact that it uses the leaner part of the pork meat delights me in a way- reduce any guilt when enjoying it as compared to the usual fatty char siew used elsewhere.

PORK RICE MYR 17

Slices of tender pork belly nicely pan seared with onions and garlic and served with their distinctive soy sauce.

 

SPICY RAMEN MYR 21

For those who relish in spice flavour, do enjoy the spicy version of the soup, together with minced meat of both chicken and pork as well as garlic and chives.

TENSHIN HAN RICE MYR 15

Signature menu- steamed rice covered with moist fried egg, topped with special inhouse made soy sauce to taste. It liberally moist the entire dish delicately!

FRIED RICE MYR 12

Chef's special fried rice. Taste bit different from the ordinary ones and slightly briny to my liking. Go easier on the saltiness and am a happy foodie! (=

Not forgetting the quintessential snacks of the Land of Rising Sun.

CHICKEN KARAAGE MYR 10

Boneless chicken leg meat, marinated in special soy sauce and spices are fried till crispy. Recommended as appetizer to be paired with beer.

GYOZA MYR 10

Pan seared gyoza is very popular back in Japan, also often served as the popular side dish  with ramen. Meaty filling is decently abounty and I love the juiciness of the Japanese  pan-fried dumpling.

Overall, it was a pleasant session  getting familiarize with this niche hearty repast where the broth taste has been mellowed down in a gentle way. Diners who fancy lighter and sweet broth over the usual stronger tonkatsu should really give Ramen Kanbe a try for its distinctive rich and sweet flavor simmered from the long hours boiling of chicken bone and  vegetable, of course not forgetting its special homemade soy sauce, and freshly homemade  Ramen noodle.

Some Japanese chewies to make up for non-dessert-centric establishment.

Arigato gozaimasu!
