Constantly crowded is how this restaurant in the skybridge of GI always looks like. If you come in 4 or more people, you'd better come earlier at 11 or so to avoid being put in the waiting list or just make a prior reservation 😉
Regarding the food, the most recommended one is for sure the la mian. Mine is Cha Ciang with Chicken Meat and I am simply in love with it. As to the other food like dimsum, soup or meat, none of them will end up disappointing.
But when it is crowded, service is usually the thing compromised. Don't be surprised if the waiters suddenly take your empty plates away without your consent while you are eating. I myself won't mind this, yet others may be somehow irritated.
What comes up in your mind when you pass along Mangga Besar? Well, most of the time, Chinese food. But I won't talk about any Chinese delicacy now. Here I'd like to share my great culinary experience in a ramen restaurant in Mangga Besar, Orenchi Ramen, a rather small yet cozy place for you to have ramen.
As I opened the menu, my eyes were immediately directed to the ramen section. I ordered Shio-Tonkotsu (Salt base) Ramen (which is the recommended one here) while my friends had Tokyo Ramen. You can choose your type of noodles (thick or normal) and the level of saltiness (3 levels). And overall remark: totally great!
Here is the review of my choice:
The broth > not plain, not too salty; just at the right level
The noodles > a big portion for one person
The pork chasyu > thick and tender unlike some ramen restaurants that really serve 'thin' meat
Along with the ramen, you may want to taste the dessert like Almond Tofu which looks really just ordinary, but not its taste.
Finally, what I can say is that 'fame does not guarantee quality' and Orenchi Ramen is a proof of it. Simply drop by here to prove it yourselves!
