If you are a fan of fried chicken, don’t miss out on the following introduction! Located in Fortress Hill, the ramen shop Menraku has been in business for many years. It is run by a Japanese person and specializes in Hokkaido Sapporo ramen. However, what really steals the show is their karaage fried chicken, which is truly outstanding. Many people come here specifically for the fried chicken.
There are a total of four options for fried chicken set meals, starting at $120. They come with appetizers, rice, salad, and miso soup. The main difference is whether or not they come with sauce. The most popular choices are the tartar salad sauce and the fried garlic chili oil. Those who prefer strong flavors must try the fried garlic chili oil, which has a satisfying level of spiciness and the garlic aroma enhances the flavor of the fried chicken.
The chicken is generous in portion and size, and when picked up with chopsticks, you can already feel how crispy it is. One bite lives up to expectations, with a crunchy sound. However, be careful of the spiciness, because the fried chicken is very juicy and delicious!
As for the ramen that the small shop specializes in, starting at $120, it is actually quite well-made. It is the Sapporo ramen that was once popular in Hong Kong, using noodles made by Nishiyama Seimen in Hokkaido. The recommended authentic flavor is miso, with added butter. After the butter melts, it is mixed with the soup base, making the broth even richer.
