It was here that I decided to try ramen from this restaurant called Ramen Seirock-ya.
INSIDE THE RESTAURANT
As I arrived at IOI City Mall early, I decided to roam around the shopping mall first, as the restaurant opened at 11:30 a.m. Once done, I went back to the restaurant and waited until the staff allowed customers to enter the restaurant.
Once inside, I sat at my table and ordered my meal for the day: Toripaitan Extreme Egg and cold green tea. I was the first customer to enter and order my meal on that day.

As this is the first time I've been to this restaurant, I actually liked the atmosphere. As I have never been to Japan (and probably shall never be!), this is the closest thing I can get to a real Japanese ramen restaurant. Ordering is by scanning the QR code with your smartphone, where it brings customers to a website for ordering the meal. The staff also provided a basket for customers to put their bags. What's best is that Ramen Seirock-ya (here in Malaysia) is Halal certified by JAKIM.
I also noticed that, if the restaurant is full house, there is a waiting list provided at the entrance, where customers need to write their names and wait until they get their assigned table.
THE RAMEN

| This is what I ordered: Toripaitan (tori paitan) Extreme Egg ramen and cold green tea. |
As written earlier, I ordered Toripaitan Extreme Egg ramen. As written on the menu, this is Seirock-ya's signature dish. I can choose the thickness of the noodles and the saltiness of the broth, and I can optionally choose extra toppings for the ramen with additional charges. Here, I opted for thin noodles and normal saltiness for the broth.
So, how does it taste?
It was delicious. The broth tasted creamy and savoury. By squeezing some lemon juice, it also made the broth tasted better. The chicken is soft and tasted good, the soft-boiled eggs are also good.
Overall, I am happy with my meal, and shall come again someday.
