Hokkaido Ramen-SANTOUKA @ Tokyo Street, Pavilion KL

Heard so much about Tokyo Street at Pavilion, that I just have to take a few hours off to head down to KL for lunch.

Before stepping in to Tokyo Street, not too bad an idea to pose with the macho Ultraman.

SANTOUKA was the main reason I made this visit, as I've heard so much about the authenticity of taste of this ramen store.

As we wanted to save our stomach for the other food outside, Shereen & I just took a set to share. Had the 'Small Ramen & Char Siu Rice Bowl Set' and took the 'Shio'/Salt soup base as were told this is the original soup base. The set too came with a cup of chawanmushi, pickle, salad and a cup of green tea.

Known for serving soup at the perfect temperature as the soup is not meant to be boiled, I do like the soup base that carries the pork bone taste. The elasticity of the ramen does spells freshness too.

The Char Siu served on top of the rice, tasted excellent. Love the aromatic taste, and tenderness of the char siu. NICE!!

The cup of green tea was also worth mentioning, as it has a fresh tea aroma. Liked this..

Inside SANTOUKA

Love the very Japanese feel outside SANTOUKA

Its been so long since I last been to Pavilion, and its definitely a wonderful feeling to have seen how much it has improved, especially with creation of Tokyo Street, a place that combines everything Japanese.. Good 'FEEL'..

32F @ First Subang Mall, SS15

I have been a real slack in updating my blog, and I can't wait to get back to it.. My time has been totally occupied since the last 2 months, as I started 'working' at 32F, a kiosk, selling shaved ice at First Subang Mall. Within the kiosk, I'm also selling my baked goods, under a co-branding, called 'Sherlyns Little Dream'.

For those who have not been to First Subang Mall, it's located at SS15, Subang Jaya, which is in between SS15's Shell/McD/Mosque, and Hong Leong/BP Healthcare. Some tenants within this mall are Overtime, Library, Coffee Chemistry Signature, Loudspeaker karaoke, Edo Ichi, I Love Yoo, Chatime...

32F stands for 32 Degrees Fahrenheit, which means 0 Celcius ie. freezing point of water. As the business is all about shaved ice, thus the licensor has chosed this name to reflect what the business is all about, ie. at point of ice formation.

Here's story on how this kiosk is created

I love 32F shaved ice as it has a really soft, smooth, melts in mouth texture. And what's more, its made from freshest and natural ingredients, and love the taste, that is not as sweet as some of the dessert offering out there.

There are 4 steps to ordering :
1 - dine-in / take-away
2 - choose shaved ice flavor (for shaved ice, option of basic and premium flavors available) and its size
3 - choose 1 free basic topping (for toppings, option of basic and premium toppings available)
4 - sweetness level (level of milk to be added to shaved ice)

32F's shaved ice menu

Some of the shaved ice flavors matched with toppings, offered as Combo

From all the shaved ice flavors I've tried, Mango and Green Tea are my top favorite. This 2 flavors are from the Premium flavors, which cost RM5.90 for a mini, and RM6.90 for maxi, which comes with 1 free basic topping.

Currently, there are 7 basic flavors and 5 premium flavors offered at 32F. There are more flavors that will be introduced from time to time.

Apart from the product, here's sharing some shots around the kiosk.

It was surely nerve wrecking during my 1st few shaving experience.
