Dining Out At Asada Yipin Ramen

FELT LIKE EATING RAMEN... and my friends suggested going to Mad Ramen in old town, Ipoh.  I was told that the Ramen there was quite nice and it is always difficult to get a table especially in the evening.  True enough, when my friend called up reservation, she was told that the place was full at that moment.  Oooh.. the food must be good then and we better not go when the place is full and crowded.

We settled for another ramen place called Asada Ramen (Yipin Ramen) at Medan 10.  First time visit for the four of us and upon entering the premises, only one table was occupied.  Normal days if we see less people, that means the food might be so-so only and we might bypass the place.  But nowadays, it is different, we prefer to dine in quieter places and don't have high expectation when it comes to the taste.  

Each of us ordered a bowl of ramen RM15.90 each and a side dish to be shared... 

Ramen in Black Sesame soup...

Ordered by my friend... 

I tried a bit of the soup... 

Though the black appearance of the soup is not attractive, 

surprisingly it tasted aromatic... 

And so the saying goes: Never judge the book by its cover... 

Ramen in Miso soup.... 

I don't really like the sourish miso... 

My friend and I ordered the Pork soup... 

Initially we wanted the spinach soup...

It was sold out...

So we settled for the porky one...

Not really to my liking cos the strong porky smell... 

I should have ordered the chicken soup instead... 

And 3 pieces of fish cake RM5.... 

Nothing to shout about... just edible...

As I said, don't expect too much of the food quality these days...
