Cyberjaya Food Review - Hanamaru Udon at D'Pulze
Today I returned back to D'pulze Shopping Mall in Cyberjaya to shop for more stuff and I decided to try out Hanamaru Udon which is in the same premise as Yoshinoya.
Hanamaru Udon serves Japanese udon noodles, specifically Sanuki udon. Sanuki udon is characterized by thick white square shape and flat edges.I noticed all the noodles portions were already pre layed out. The server just takes the bunch of noodles and then cooks it in the boiling water.
All the ingredients were also prepared already. The beef slices were already sliced and put into a container. Each container contains portions that is enough for a single person's meal.
The noodles I ordered was topped with finely slice beef strips and garnished with spring onions. The meal was served with the Japanese 3 min egg. The 3 min egg is characterized by its very soft yolk but with firm whites. It is typically cooked for 3 mins and then shocked with ice to stop the cooking process to make the running yolk (egg yellow). The meal was drenched in Japanese soy sauce. This dish had a slight Malaysian twist to it in that sambal belacan (the ones you get when served prawn noodles) was also used as the toppings.
Overall I found the meal to be satisfying good. My only regret was the portions were a bit small. I ordered a regular size serving but they also got large size servings. The noodles were springy yet firm, a characteristic of good noodles, eggs were done perfectly.
