Saw these cute mini rice bowls, as well as BBQ pork they had Spicy pork too which I did not take a picture of.

Mini BBQ pork rice bowls:
I thought this was cute so decided to get it.
The mini bowl of rice came with a lid too and the rice was piping hot.
The pork pieces were not as big as in the product shot and they were cut into really small pieces.
Some were just pieces of fat too.
Luckily the gravy was not too sweet so it tasted quite nice.
The size of the bowl was the same as the bowls used for their miso soup.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Gyozas:
The gyozas could have been put more neatly, some were facing the wrong way and upside down!
It was not grilled uniformly and you can see white powder on one of them.


As for the taste it was quite nice but the skin was not crispy enough.

Tried the Kumamoto Prefecture beef noodles [熊本牛拉麵」

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Kumamoto Prefecture beef noodles
When I saw the menu it just reminded me of Taiwanese noodles with beef shin and pickled vegetables.
The presentation looked awful especially the broth.
Anyway, the ramen just tasted how it usually does with pork bone broth however I felt that it was slightly too salty.
The pieces of beef shins were quite big and tender.
As for the pickled vegetables they were my favourite and taste the same as snow cabbage.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The pieces of cucumber look off and dehydrated!
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
SAME AS ALWAYS the air conditioning at this place is always too cold.

Went to Ajisen because of the new noodles, both were stone bowls, one was pork udon, the other was ramen with sakura shrimp.
☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Pork udon stone pot
This tasted bland compared to the ramen. However the pork was not that fresh with a strong off smell!
☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Sakura ramen stone pot
The amount of sakura shrimp was amazingly generous, however the soup was too salty that I had to add two cups of water to dilute it down.
I think the chef did not add enough water to the soup because when it came the soup level was not even half full.

This new ramen dish looked really delicious on the product shot (top corner of my picture).
The noodles looked thickly covered in sauce and dark in colour.

However when they were served, I realised they were the usual cold ramen topped with watery sauce.
The ramen was topped with lots of thinly sliced cucumber, prawns sliced in half through the middle and a few pieces of crab.
The noodle itself was too hard and the tom yum soup was just liquid and slid of the ramen.
The soup tasted strong of lemongrass and chili but because it was so watery it did not stay on the ramen and the noodles were tasteless and hard.

Ajisen Ramen celebrates its 500th store in Japan, so there is some sort of promotion going on.

Tried the new products: Volcanic spicy noodles: and the Grilled minced chicken with cheese:.
Volcanic spicy noodles:
The noodles were paler than the product shot.
On the menu it was rated not so spicy, and the taste was Ok, not that spicy.
The pork turned out to be more delicious than they looked.
It reminds me of the braised pork belly in beancurd sauce, however the taste was that of “mouth watering chicken” [hau shui gaai].
The chilli they used was exactly the same as the “mouth watering one” leaving a minty feeling on the tongue.
The noodles were too sweet and the other flavouring could have been stronger.

Grilled minced chicken with cheese:
This tasted like the grilled minced chicken at Yoshinoya, but they were made of patties and two of them skewered on the stick with cheese on top.
There were some vegetables present in the minced chicken.
Overall, it tasted OK

Was a bit bored with the options available at Ajisen, so tried the noodles in pumpkin soup.

Surprisingly it was quite good, the pumpkin soup tasted stronger than expected.

There were two pieces of soft pumpkin fried in tempura batter.

Got two of the new promoted items, the tempura stuffed mushrooms with mashed potato and fish roe, and the noodles with the cheesy octopus crunchies.

Stuffed mushrooms:
Piping hot, and the shittake mushroom were very juicy.
It was surprising the mashed potato had a very oceanic taste due to the fish roe.

The noodles taste the same as usual, however the fried octopus with cheese was interesting, the cheese texture was like mozzarella, and it was wrapped in beancurd skin and then coated with batter and fried.
It was slightly over fried because the outside was a little too crunchy and brown.
There wasn’t much taste to it, especially the mozzarella.

Went to the Ajisen @ hang hau, however not all the items on the menu were served there.

Next time, I will not go to branded stores in urban areas, they never have the full menu, especially highlighted items or new items.
I wanted to try the fried taro balls, and prawn dumplings, but both were not available.

Ordered the soft pork bone noodles, cold konjac noodles and fried new year cheese cake.

New year cheese cake: nicely done, pale and not over fried.

soft pork bone noodles: tastes how it should, however the pork bone was slightly dry.

Konjac cold noodes: totally different from the picture. the strands were squiggly like twisted elastic bands, but in the picture they appeared like straight cut buckwheat noodles.
As for the texture, tasted like jellyfish, the normal konjac texture.
