It’s especially popular amongst women due to its beautifying properties, as it’s chock full of collagen.

Making use of such bountiful harvest, Eatomo Food Co serves up a viral poké bowl with only the freshest ingredients, the California Poké Bowl! A delicious vessel of sashimi, crab salad, and creamy guacamole. Their oysters are also almost certainly another must-try, as it truly does not get fresher than this!

4. Sanyoso Mazesoba
Originating from Nagoya, Japan, Mazesoba is a brothless ramen, ‘maze’ meaning to mix and ‘soba’ meaning noodles. Sanyoso Mazesoba serves delicious bowl after delicious bowl of the stuff, a thick and savoury sauce is created with a dash of soup, seasoning, and a runny onsen egg. Their Chashu Mazesoba is certainly to die for, the thick and toothsome noodles pairing perfectly with their tender and massive char siew. They also serve sides like house-folded gyoza, crispy and meaty all in one bite!

In 1985, Hakata Ippudo was launched in Chuo-Ku, Fukuoka City. As of 2023, the Ippudo chain has expanded across Malaysia, encompassing a total of 11 outlets. Their porky and rich ramen broth is the secret to their success, broths like Shiromaru (white) and Akamaru (red), each with their own distinct flavour profiles and aromas! We recommend the Ippudo Kuro Special, for its rich umami notes and its naturally smoky aroma.

8. Tonkatsu By Ma Maison
Who doesn’t love crispy fried food? Tonkatsu by Ma Maison understands and preaches this mantra as they have been serving the same recipe for 47 years! Founded in Japan back in 1976, they perfected the tonkatsu and brought the very same to Malaysia in 2013. They serve exclusively tonkatsu dishes, breaded deep-fried pork cutlets. Only using the highest grade parts of the pork, the juiciness and tenderness of their pork cutlets are unbeatable. They have a huge selection of sauces to choose from, but we love the mild Nagoya-style Miso Sauce, made with a hatch miso fermented for over 2 years!
