Mad Ramen Bar

To continue from my previous post about food in Ipoh, here is another restaurant we tried, called Mad Ramen Bar.

It is near the famous Concubine Lane. 

I split this out into a separate post because there are photos of more than just the food.

The restaurant was empty when we arrived for a rather late lunch at around 1:30pm. I guess most tourists would go for Ipoh specialties rather than ramen.

After we ordered, they brought us a plastic glove (because we ordered a pork rib ramen), and chopsticks+tissues in a bucket.

the seasonings were already on the table

black tonkotsu, RM23.90

pork rib black shoyu, RM27.80

Both were very tasty! I remember I preferred one of the soups over the other...but I can't remember which one. Probably the tonkotsu? I tend to prefer tonkotsu most of the time.

The pork rib is one big bone, hence the glove to use with it. The meat was tender, and we first pulled it off with chopsticks (three of us were sharing the two bowls of ramen), before I finished it off with the glove at the end.

We also ordered a yaki gyoza that looked very good in reviews. And yes, it does look good.

The taste was only so-so though...not worth that price, I would say. The skin was too thick, with too little filling.

There was a 5% service charge added to the prices.

After the meal, I visited their washroom before leaving...there was this funny sticker on the toilet that I had to take a photo of. :P

poor capybara...having constipation? Haha...
