Chews We You

Despite the continuing effects of Covid-19, many eateries – unlike other retail sectors – are permitted to operate across Sarawak under the terms and conditions of the latest Movement Control Order 3.0. The most common tactic that eateries have embraced to maintain operations are simple curbside deliveries or pickups for and by customers, for example. In support of a few of these businesses, while also catering to any Japanese soup dish cravings you yourself might have, here are three ramen specialty shops that we definitely recommend you try out, if you haven’t already.

KYUZU RAMEN - Delivery & Pickup

Located nearby the central stretch of the Miri River, the Ramen and Donburi specialists that Miri City residents fondly know as Kyuzu Ramen, are still going strong and doing everything they can to cater to their customers. These Japanese soul food providers receive consistently good reviews ranging from “one of the top ramen spots in the city” to “authentic and delicious” this eatery is currently accommodating their hungry clientele via delivery and pickup options. With 3 main ramen dishes including the Korean inspired fusion Kimchi Ramen, the Chicken Paitan Ramen, and their popular signature Tonkotsu Ramen, the flavours on offer will satisfy your palate and craving. With 10% discounts applied to pick ups, other deals available in collaboration with Food Panda, and free deliveries should you spend RM35 in a single bill. So the next time your belly starts growling, consider a ramen fix! •• 83, Jalan Krokop 10A, 98000 Miri, Sarawak, Malaysia Open: 11.30am – 8.30pm (Tues – Sun) FB: Kyuzu Ramen Tel: 6013-8566228

RISING RAMEN - Delivery & Takeaway

Situated within the CityONE Megamall, in Kuching, is the Rising Ramen restaurant – an eatery where the head honcho is a Japanese owner and chef who applies his culinary knowledge to provide diners with an authentic experience of his homeland. With plentiful good reviews from the public for not just the ramen, but also the entirety of the menu – and one specific review claiming quite aggressively that it is the best spot in town – it’s safe to say this is a stop worth considering. There are 4 wet ramen dishes and they can come with either – AKA, a red and mildly spicy broth, while the Kuro has a bold chicken flavour with hints of garlic, the Shiro is derived from chicken and pork bones, and the well-known soybean based Miso. With 3 different sizes for each dish, we know you’ll find something to satisfy your taste buds! •• Unit G41, G43 & G43A, Ground Floor Mall 1, CityONE, Megamall, Jalan Song Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia Open: 11.30am – 8.30pm (Tues – Sun) FB: Rising Ramen IG: @risingramenmalaysia Tel: 6019-8840827

AJISEN RAMEN - Takeaway

Hidden within Kuching’s Vivacity Megamall is where the Ajisen Ramen specialist can be found. Belonging to the popular Japanese chain of ramen fast food eateries, this particular branch is the sole representative in Kuching City (with 4 more spread across Malaysia), and often focuses on white tonkotsu broth dishes. There are five different ramen offerings including the Cha Shu, Paiku, Seafood, Pork Shabu Miso, and last but not least, the Volcano Ramen! Considered one of the franchise’s more popular signature dishes, a chili paste made from a “secret recipe” (how interesting) is dunked on top of the noodles for you to mix at your pleasure. Often collaborating with Grabfood, this Japanese noodle house regularly offers promotions to diners, for that added convenience. So do check up on their social media accounts from time to time. •• Vivacity Megamall 93350 Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia Open: Mon – Sun (10am – 8pm) FB: Ajisen Ramen Kuching IG: @ajisenramenkuching Tel: 6082-263787
