If you’ve been to Wong Kok Char Chan Teng, Jordan Hong Kong Restaurant will be no stranger to you.
Jordan Hong Kong Restaurant is a Hong Kong-style restaurant that not only serves authentic traditional Hong Kong-style cuisine but is also committed to combining tradition and innovation.
How to get there
If you’re riding the MRT or monorail in the city centre, stop at Bukit Bintang MRT or monorial. Pavilion is a short 5 minutes walk from the stations.
However, if you’re driving, you can park in Pavilion itself or in the nearby malls like Fahrenheit 88, Lot 10, and Starhill Gallery.
Jordan Hong Kong Restaurant is on level 1 of Pavilion.

In addition to the outlet in Pavilion, Bukit Bintang, there are already other outlets in Ipoh and other parts of the Klang Valley: Kepong, Sunway Pyramid, Cheras, and Klang.
The restaurant is brightly lit and spacious for small to big group dinings.
Anyway, I ordered the Braised Pork Belly Rice (below) at RM19.90 for lunch.
In addition to the braised pork belly rice, some of the recommended foods with the 👍🏻 are:

How to get to Tarbush Restaurant
Today, we’re at Tarbush Restaurant at 138, Jalan Bukit Bintang, Bukit Bintang, 55100 Kuala Lumpur.
If you’re taking the train, stop at the Bukit Bintang MRT or Bukit Bintang Monorial, and then walk towards Jalan Bukit Bintang. Tarbush is just directly opposite Lot 10 and Fahrenheit 88 shopping mall.
Parking is not really an issue, as you can also park in Lot 10, Sungei Wang Plaza, or Starhill Gallery, and walk across to Tarbush. If you’re coming from Lot 10 parking lot, take the escalator or lift from the 5th, 6th, 7th, or 8th floor down to the ground floor.
Tarbush Restaurant and Menu
Qualifying as one of Kuala Lumpur’s best dining experience, TARBUSH actually had extremely humble beginnings.
In 1998, it started with a small sandwich bar in Ampang Point serving shawarma and other small bites to the mall goers. Even then, TARBUSH’s dedication to using only the freshest and finest ingredients was paramount.
2001 saw the opening of TARBUSH Bukit Bintang. Strategically and conveniently located at the heart of the Golden Triangle, the casual dining outlet originally occupied only the ground floor. Today, with a newly renovated and upgraded interior, TARBUSH at Jalan Bukit Bintang doesn’t fail to impress guests with its classy ambience and of course, its wonderful dishes.
Tarbush embarked on their first ever fine dining restaurant on June 15, 2005. The invitation to open a restaurant at Starhill Gallery’s Feast Village was extended only to a few – TARBUSH being one of them.
Tarbush Website
Tarbush has a modern, interior design. At the entrance, you’ll be greeted by a standing kebab griller.
The restaurant is multi-storey, so you can sit upstairs at the balcony and enjoy street view of Bukit Bintang.
Browsing their menu, there is a wide spread of middle eastern and pizzas. Check out their menu below.

We’re back with another ramen (restaurant) in J’s Gate Dining in Lot 10, Bukit Bintang, Kuala Lumpur. Previously, we were at Japanese Tokyo Ramen @ Lot 10, Kuala Lumpur. If not ramen, check out Ma Maison Ebisu, also on the 4th floor in Lot 10.
Anyway, back to the main topic of today’s post: Mitsuyado Ramen.
Currently, there are 3 Mitsuyado Ramens in Malaysia:
The Starling Mall [Unit S-229, 2nd Floor]
J’s Gate Dining [Level 4, Lot10]
The Gardens Mall [LG-201A&B, next to Jaya Grocer]
“This” Mitsuyado Ramen is on the 4th floor in Lot 10. The 4th floor – J’s Gate Dining – is commonly and famously known as the Japanese food floor.
How to Get to Mitsuyado Ramen @ Lot 10

Menu
We use Japan most premium wheat to make noodles. Our noodles are smooth and yet chewy with a hint of wheat’s aroma. #mitsuyadomalaysia#mitsuyadomy
Give the original ramen a skip and go for the different and unique types of ramen. For something sweeter than yellow corn ramen, why not try out their green matcha ramen.
Tokyo Ramen is on the 4th floor in Lot 10. The 4th floor – J’s Gate Dining – is commonly and famously known as the Japanese food floor. As for Tokyo Ramen itself, it is in the private dining area – Isetan Kuala Lumpur.
Grounded by warmth and humility through service and hospitality, values inherently associated with the Japanese tradition of Omotenashi, The Tokyo Ramen inherits the ambience The Tokyo Restaurant has to offer.
An epicentre that connects family, friends, and acquaintances, underneath the blush of coral tapestry and amber incandescence. Elegant booth seats and leather-grain furniture further cosset you away from the strains of the world beyond.
“A bowl of happiness from Japan, served fresh for Malaysia”
Sink your teeth into the umami-rich ramen option from THE TOKYO RAMEN! Made with authentic Malaysian free range chicken, The Tokyo Ramen incorporates The Tokyo Restaurant’s rich flavours and is the perfect gathering spot for ramen lovers of all races and religion. Celebrate the deliciousness of true Japanese ramen, and fill your heart and bellies with joy and satisfaction! Strictly no pork used.
Let’s dive into their menu. Hungry for lunch, we ordered the Asakusa Sho-Yu Ramen (signature ramen), Bara – Chirashi, and Tori Chashu Don.
“Halal Authentic Ramen, Produced by Japanese Muslim Chef”.
The Asakusa Sho-Yu Ramen (RM30)
The “Yukiri” process in the cooking of Japanese noodles like ramen, udon, and soba involves pulling the noodles out of hot water and shaking them free of liquid in a colander so that they retain their delicious springy and perfect texture.
This method ensures that the liquid in the noodles does not dilute the soup, leaving you with textural perfection as well as an intensity of flavours that soothe the soul. All expert noodle-makers are well-versed in this art; but you, too, can be your own expert by properly draining your ramen noodles at home!

When Ma Maison Ebisu at Lot 10, Bukit Bintang, Kuala Lumpur opened, I was first introduced to tonkatsu. What is tonkatsu? A Japanese dish of meat coated in breadcrumbs and fried.
All set meals come with rice, tonjiru (miso soup with pork), cabbage, and pickles:
Rosu Katsu (Deep Fried Pork Loin)
Hire Katsu (Deep Fried Pork Fillet)
Okonomi Katsu (Variety Katsu)
Iroiro Katsu (Assorted Katsu)
Rosu Katsu (Deep Fried Pork Loin with Cheese)Sakana Set (Deep Fried White Fish)
If you’re coming from Lot 10 parking lot, take the escalator or lift from the 5th, 6th, 7th, or 8th floor down to the 4th floor. But if you’re coming from the Bukit Bintang MRT or monorial, take the escalator or lift from the ground floor up to the 4th floor. The 4th floor is also known as Js Gate Dining, where there are only Japanese food on this level in Lot 10.
Then in 2019, when I was holidaying in Japan, I ate the tonkatsu at Tonkatsu Wako Pole Town, Sapporo, Hokkaido.
Also known as Shi Shi Do Ramen Bar (to me), is in the Gasket Alley. The Gasket Alley is not hard to miss, as it is directly opposite Jaya 1 shopping mall and behind Columbia Asia Hospital – Petaling Jaya.
The Gasket Alley is a small warehouse with restaurants, dessert outlets, an IT store, and Harley-Davidson of Petaling Jaya. Head right to the end where you’ll find the authentic Japanese Tonkotsu Ramen in Section 13, Petaling Jaya.
If you’re not Grabbing to the restaurant, within the compound, there is a short row of visitor’s parking. Alternatively, you can park at Jaya 1 or the office complexes down the road, and walk up to the Gasket Alley.
During lunch hours or rush hours, there can be long queues outside the restaurant. So it’ll be best to go early and time yourself beforehand.
Inside the Ramen Bar
Instead of going to Japan, Japan is brought to you. And you’re transported back into time inside the ramen bar.
There is a ground and mezzanine level. On the ground floor, it feels like you’re eating in the streets of Japan in the old days of history’s past. You’re surrounded by “shophouses” and an old street lamp post in the middle.
Ramen Bar Shi Shi DoFood
The pork broth is delicately boiled and skimmed up to 48 hours to bring out the natural yet rich flavour of the finest pork bones.
