Ramen... this food is really sensational and in a way, "powerful". Mention it in front of me and I'll probably crave for it just like that *fingers snap*. I just had a bowl of ramen earlier today and writing this post is such a pain in the stomach. In Jakarta, there are tons of Ramen houses in Jakarta, it's almost impossible to try them all, and I hope this post will help you on your Ramen houses surfing in Jakarta and please decide yourself on what you think is the best, some like the soup to be thick, some like it light. Some like the noodle to be thin and some like it curly. Ramen is really interesting!

Here is EATANDTREATS guide to Ramen Houses in Jakarta! 
(please remember that this post is NOT  a countdown and will be updated whenever I feel like there are deserving new names)

Jalan Ratu Kemuning Raya Blok A2 No. 82
Jakarta Barat
Price range: IDR 25k-60k
I once labeled this ramen as the best ramen in Jakarta and surprisingly, it still deserves to be labeled as that. If you love thin noodles, yummy thick broth and generous thick slices of Chasiu, then this one probably fits you really well.

Tonkotsu Ramen - IDR 45k

Tonkotsu Shisen Ramen - IDR 45k

Ikkudo Ichi
Rukan Crown Golf Blok D No. 2-3
Bukit Golf Mediterania, Pantai Indah Kapuk
Jakarta Utara
021 - 9662 8677
Price range: IDR 30k-70k
Their specialties is the "Buta Kara Ramen" with a glimpse of spicy red sauce, thick broth (costumized), custom noodles, juicy moist Chasiu and lovely Tamago! Somehow I like the curly noodle, it just adds up the interesting contrast.
Ikkudo's Buta Kara Ramen - IDR 45.8k


Hakata Ikkousha
Rukan Crown Golf
Bukit Golf Mediterania, Pantai Indah Kapuk
021 - 2903 3271
Price range: IDR 30k-70k
This one is also a strong contender, opening in 2011, it has been regular's favorite Ramen House to stop by and ends their disturbing ramen craving. One bowl of this Buta Special Ramen will contain an intense yet thick Pork broth, yummy Chasius, perfectly cooked Tamagos and definitely satisfaction on the last sip of the soup!
Buta Special Ramen - IDR 45.8k

Santouka Hokkaido Ramen
Plaza Indonesia
5th fl.
Many rewarded this as one of the best ramens in Jakarta, as well as the most expensive. If you're more of a Hokkaido Ramen type, then this one might fit you. You can freely customize your ramen starting from the size (S-M-L), the broth, the flavor (saltiness) and the oil level of each portion. When you're dining in here, you'll get one jar of water as a free complimentary from the restaurant. The pork slices are quite thick, but still tender and juicy, and the broth is sort of milky.

Shio Charsiu Ramen - IDR 108k (large)


Shio Charsiu Ramen - IDR 78k (small)

Marutama Ramen
EX Entertainment Xenter Plaza Indonesia
2nd floor, Unit A20
Jl. M.H. Thamrin Kav. 28-30, Jakarta
021 - 316 0705
Price Range: IDR 35k-100k
Personally, this joint is another of my favorite Ramen houses in Jakarta. The broth is slightly lighter than the others mentioned above, but I love the consistency and the balance of the flavor! The thin noodles are well cooked, the pork cuts are adorable and they have Tamagos to die for! The middle part (yolk) is still runny and it's simply dreamy!

Tamago Ramen - IDR 66k


Zenbu
Plaza Indonesia 5th fl.
021 2992 3648
Price Range: IDR 30k-80k
Zenbu has adorable Ramens to select! The broth is slightly lighter and it has a hint of milk flavor which is surpisingly delicious! So far, Zenbu's ramens are only available in either beef or chicken topping and available in two sizes you can customizes depending on your liking... FYI, the meat cuts are generous :).

Beef Ramen - IDR 55k (large)

Ichidaigen Ramen -> HALAL!
Jalan Radio Dalam Raya No. 20
Kebayoran Baru, Jakarta Selatan
Price Range: IDR 25k-70k
HAPPY NEWS for Ramen lovers, especially to my moslem friends, because there is actually a ramen outlet in Radio Dalam which claims to be 100% HALAL! That means they don't use and serve pork or spam products in the meal. We all know that pork broth is the most delicious, Ichidaigen uses beef bones to form the broth and surprisingly, it tastes good! The broth is sort of milky and less oily.

Shoyu Ramen - IDR 65k

Ten Ten Tempura House
Plaza Indonesia, Basement Level Unit 16-17
021 - 751 2369
Price Range: 30k-100k
Even though Ten Ten is best known for their lovely tempuras, but don't mistaken their ramens! Ten Ten's ramens are specialties in beef, chicken or seafood for both broth and topping. They haven't served pork ramens here.

Spicy Seafood Ramen - IDR 55k

Gokana Teppan
Summarecon Mal Serpong 3rd Level
Gading Serpong, Tangerang
Price Range: IDR 20k-50k
Overall, Gokana Teppan's ramens have the lightest broth and they're the most affordable overall, but that doesn't necessarily made it as the worst, I personally like my ramen to have that thick pork broth, but it's okay to try out things, isn't it?. If you want to have a good ramen with a very affordable price, then this one you might consider going :).

or you might as well try these ramen houses in Jakarta. Some I've tried before but I didn't manage to take photos of because either I forgot to bring my camera or back when I wasn't taking photos of my food and decided to blog about it ;).

Ramen 38 Sanpachi
Gandaria City LG 101
Jl. Iskandar Muda (Arteri Pondok Indah) No. 6
Kebayoran Baru, Jakarta Selatan
021 - 2905 3114

Hachimaki Ramen
Ruko Cordoba Blok A 19

This surely is not the complete list and this ain't over yet guys!!! If you have recommendations to the best ramen places in Jakarta, please leave your comments, and I'll update this list right after I give myself a try :). So far, I hope this will help you enough, especially people who come to Jakarta and crave for delicious ramens in Jakarta!

Thanks for reading! Lots of love <3.

So as what I've promised you, this post will be about Ichidaigen, and I feel so thankful for the food testing invitation, well I would even call it PRE-FOOD PUBLISH TESTING. I got to taste the food even before it's published and I got the chance to give my comments about the food, so maybe the food you'll be tasting at Ichidaigen when you drive by and eat there is somehow mixed with my comments and they improved it, but I gotta tell you, the ramens are VERY GOOD!

What I love about Ichidaigen is the concept of the restaurant, when I arrived there like a month ago, the building was not even ready, it's just a soft opening for some medias and close relatives and to be honest I'm proud to be a part of the soft opening, I feel honored and special (LOL). The owner told me that the first floor will be used for the bakery outlet while the rest of the floors are going to be used as the restaurants area. I love the open kitchen concept and oh yeah, the owner even showed me the interior design straight from his laptop and even the menu design and everything, well I've given my comments, I haven't seen the final results after its grand opening on 12-12-12.


and also...ICHIDAIGEN is the first to ever declare 100% HALAL! Everyone can finally experiences the beautiful taste of ramen. NOMNOM!

During the food testing session, we got like EVERYTHING. We got to taste most of the ramens (of course the chef recommendations), the cakes (like each and everyone of it) and the drinks. The chef is japanese, so I think you wouldn't have to be afraid of the taste, well I've tried it and I wasn't even REGRETTING ANY OF IT.

So are you ready to experience the foodgasm? Here are the pictures!

DISCLAIMER: just for your info that the ramen and cake photos in this blog are not the final presentation, it's the food testing serving presentation.

Kobushi Tsukemen
Let's start with the beautiful ramens! This one is called Kobushi Tsukemen and the serving is unique because the chef recommends the serving to be 'dip and eat', so you don't eat this like the common ramen servings,  another great thing I love about Ichidaigen is the soup itself! it's made of eggs and beef, the meat they're using is also prime beef  :). This one is best for you who love spicy flavor.

and remember! Ichidaigen is HALAL. 100%.

I asked the owner about the noodle, this one is slightly unique because later you'll see other variants and this one is served with different noodles, the bigger one, it's Ichidaigen custom made and it's yummy and elastic in a good way.


Yoichi Ramen

If you love ramens with minced beef, spicy flavor and full of delights from the whole serving and the soup, then this is the righteous choice! I love this one :).

Shoyu Ramen

This ramen variant is another way to say I love the good old yummy ramen with a touch of excellence and halal! I love this one, I think this is my order because I always come to be surprised with the originals, it's like knowing that there are a lot of restaurants but they always have something to stand out and that's why I love to judge from the most common and this one passes my standard! LOVE THIS. I think I'm going to put this on my recommendation list :).

LOVE THE EGGS! I love the fact that the eggs are not greasy, they're just soft and tender.

CAKES
Not only the ramens, but we're given the chance to have the taste of the delicious cakes and breads. As you can see from the picture below, those are the amount of cakes, almost infinity to the stomach but of course I'm not that crazy to eat them all, some is more than enough but at the same time, too much is not enough! The owner Peter, seems to know us very well (lol), the owner also gave us some take away goodies of these beautiful cakes. I finished them all when I got home.

Choco Caramel Cake
Peter claimed that most of the cakes are his grandmother original recipes and personally I think his grandmother is a genious, the cakes are just great, I have always been a fan of a well-balanced food, well I think everybody does, this one is just it. I recommend this to you my lovely readers for dine-in or a sweet takeaway for your loved ones at home.

Peanut Roll Cake
I can't criticize anything because everything served is basically super nice, and this one is included. Well, I think if you eat this peanut roll cake with choco caramel cake (above), you'll find that the flavor is not that much different, that's because two of the great cakes use nuts as the ingredients or either garnish.
Blueberry Buttercream Cake
I am so not a big fan of buttercream cakes, but I don't know how they managed to make a butter cream cake but ended up tasting like whipped-cream cakes. I love cakes with whipped cream, they taste lighter and yummier. This is obviously yummy and I really recommend this blueberry cake! You got the sweet and sour, it's so creamy and fluffy.
I zoomed in to capture the sugar icing that they're using. So pretty!

BREADS
Left to right:
- Blueberry Vanilla cupcake
- (mid) Coffee almond cupcake
- Coffee bun

LOVE LOVE LOVE! My personal favorite is the coffee bun, it's the good old coffee bun and it's just perfect that you serve it with a cup of hot cappucinno or a cup of hot chocolate.


I'm having this moment when I'm writing this blogpost and I can't believe that I've been eating all those, I'm growing happy fats in me, you can always work hard and stay skinny, but when you decide to be happy, that's all your choice! Get as much happiness as you can in your life. Leave whatever makes you sad.

To conclude this post, I just want to say that The existence of Ichidaigen is a serious thread to the others (hahaha).
