Ajisen Ramen was found at Kumamoto, Japan in 1968. Currently Ajisen Ramen already have 400 plus chain in worldwide. The 120 plus store chain is mainly found in the Far East including Japan and China, but has a few locations in North America, and now even in Malaysia! We first saw this restaurant in Singapore.

Since its so famous, PP and I decided to give it a try. The one that we went to is at 1Utama. Its situated at the old wing, near TGV cinema. They price they charge for a bowl of ramen over here is kind of expensive. For my lessthanten site, I can only introduce a part of the food here. PP’s took the Nan-Kotsu ramen, its very nice but too pricy for me to introduce here.

I’ll introduce what I ate instead, the Hot Plate Chicken Teriyaki noodle, which was just below RM10. Hehe. This noodle comes in a hotplate, served with bean sprouts, carrot and a few pieces of chicken teriyaki. The noodle is also layered with some sweet radish sauce. I find that sauce very weird. The first mouth is still ok, but as you eat more, you’ll feel that the noodle tastes nothing but sweet. Never had sweet noodles before, so its the weirdest meal for me. Don’t like this.

We’ve also ordered a Kani Corn Salad. It looks good in the menu, but when served, the corn are so much lesser than the one in the picture. Another thing about this salad is, its very spicy. I wonder what did they put in it. This dish fails too. I think if you would like to dine here, its safer for you to order those recommended ramen in the menu. Bear in mind that they cost close to RM20 per bowl! Oh, for HP and IBM employees, be sure to present your tags when you dine in, because you’ll be entitled with a 20% discount.
