Manmaru Homemade Udon @ Midvalley Megamall

Manmaru Homemade Udon is a brand-new Japanese restaurant in town. It is located inside Midvalley Megamall, a shopping mall at the centre between Petaling Jaya and Kuala Lumpur. I was happy to be invited by Ah Bok/ taufulou to attend the food review session a month ago.

Manmaru 自家制乌冬面是市内新开的餐厅。这家餐厅坐落于谷中城广场内。我很开心部落客友人Ah Bok/taufulou 邀请我一起享用那里的美食。

Manmaru means perfectly round which the owner trying to tell everyone that they are trying to be perfect.

Manmaru 的意思是浑圆，业主是想要告诉每一位他们正试图做到完美。

This is their second month in operation. Before you enter their restaurant, you will see the name/words written 'homemade udon', yes perhaps that is one of the attractions here.

这是他们第2个月操作。在还没走入餐厅前，我们会看到‘自家制面’的字眼，这也是这里的卖点。

Another thing is that they run a self-service concept. As we walk in, we order and pay at the counter. This is somewhat different from the Japanese restaurant I visited before.

另外，他们也执行自助概念。当我们走进店内时，我们就在那下单和给钱。这是与我去过的日本餐厅有别的地方。

Thirdly, they have an open kitchen. We can view the process of udon making, tempura frying and etc when we are waiting for our food to be served at the counter. Once they receive your order, they will cook the noodle, and the waiting time is 10 minutes. There is no ready-made udon inside.

第三，他们有个开放式的厨房。我们在等待食物的片刻，可以观赏面条的制作过程等等。当他们接获我们的订单，他们就开始煮面，大概需要10分钟左右。这里是没有供预先做好的乌冬面。

I personally like their homemade udon because that is less additives/ chemical added compared with supplied noodles from factory. It is daily made. Moreover, the udon is springy and tastes without lye water.

我个人喜欢他们的自家制乌冬面因为很少添加剂和化学物比起那些从厂买来的面。这里的面条还是每天制作的呢！再加上，这乌冬面很有弹性以及吃不出有碱水味哦！

So now we can see a mixture of Japanese and Korean culture in this kimchi udon. I compare it with the kimchi I ate before, this is rather mild, not too sour and spicy, just balanced enough to suit my taste bud.

在这碗泡菜乌冬面内，我们也可以看到韩国和日本文化的结合。我比较之前我吃过的泡菜，这个味道比较合众，不会太酸也不会太辣，非常适合我的味蕾。

carbonara udon

OMG！ This is nice! My favourite of all. The soup is creamy, tastes sweet and a bit salty, just like carbonara sauce in spaghetti.

天啊！这碗赞！是全部当中我的最爱！汤底是奶白的的，味道甜且带点咸，就像意大利面内的carbonara酱汁。

udon with sliced beef

Nike udon is served together with thin sliced beef.

Nike 乌冬面是与牛肉片一起享用。

Bukake udon

Bukake udon is served cold. One of the specialities is that it is served with fish broth. It is nice having this during a hot day so that the white radish is able to hold down our bodies.

Bukake 乌冬面是碗冷面。其中一个特点就是跟鱼汤搭配。个人觉得在热天享用是最好不过的，因为白萝卜可以消暑。

classic soy udon.

经典大豆乌冬面。

Ume Udon RM 10.90 (S) / RM 12.90 (L)

Ume udon is served with pickled plum. Hmm....I don't really like it as it is so sour and salty. But it may be nice for a pregnant lady :)

Ume乌冬是与腌制的梅干一起上座。嗯。。。个人不是很喜欢因为太酸和太咸了。但可能很适合孕妇。

Zaru Udon RM 8.90 (S) / RM 10.90 (L)

Zara 乌冬是另一盘冷面。但也是唯一一个是没放在汤内的面，有点像干捞的感觉。

Kamaage Udon RM 12.90

Kamaage udon is an “Al-dente” style udon with warm kamaage sauce. It is tasteless with the soup. We need to dip it in a bowl of sesame sauce served.

Kamaage 乌冬是嚼劲风格的面，与热热的kamaage酱汁一起享用。那汤是无味的，我们必须把面和那碗芝麻酱一起点来吃。

Kamo Seiro Udon RM 13.90 (S) / RM 15.90 (L)

除了那芝麻酱，乌冬面也可以搭配如天堂滋味的鸭酱。
