The verdict

Jason rates this halal ramen shop a 6, calling it still the better halal ramen option out there if you don't mind the price. The spicy Tori Paitan was the standout, but the broth tasted like Maggi chicken and the drinks were diluted. Total damage was RM70 for the visit.

extreme spicy. It's called Seirok Ya, a halal ramen shop you can find in uptown Damansara. A lot of people have been saying this place is betul ke ni? Yes, with over a thousand reviews at four and a half stars. Ice green tea at three ringgit, I don't expect much but I tasted more water than the actual tea. Yeah, just green tea, five out of ten. Now the ice lemon tea is 350, quite cheap but it was even more diluted than the green tea. Eskola canteen iced lemon tea, three out of ten. This is the Tori Paitan Extreme A. Tori Paitan is just like tongkotsu but instead of pork, they use chicken bones for the broth. Aku pijin limau. This is the seaweed. Lauri seaweed was good, it was sweet, salty and has that sea-like flavor. Tamago egg was delicious, chicken was cooked tender and juicy. I got the thick noodles. I like that it's got a good tointoy texture but the quality of the ramyeon taste almost seems like I'm eating that yellow mee from the school canteen. Broth was creamy but tasted like magi mie chicken. It's a 5.5 for me. Tori Paitan Extreme Spicy comes with the same broth with the spicy paste and we had thin noodles. This sounds quite tasty. The spicy flavor really added a more unique flavor compared to the previous dish. It's called Extreme Spicy but it wasn't spicy at all. We had to add more spice to feel the kick. The thicker noodles had more bounce which I prefer but overall this dish tastes better. I give it a 6. Total damage was 70 ringgit. If you don't mind the price, I still think this is the better halal ramen shop out there.
