Hellooo Hivers... Today I came back again to share my eating out experience at Hota Ramen.
For food lovers of Japanese cuisine, especially ramen, the city of Medan is increasingly pampering the tongue with many places to eat that serve a bowl of warmth typical of the Land of Sakura. One place that has recently been widely discussed is Hota Ramen, which is strategically located on Jalan Setiabudi, Medan.
The location is easily accessible, located in a row of shophouses with a fairly calm atmosphere, suitable for a place to relax while enjoying typical Japanese dishes.
As soon as you enter Hota Ramen, the Japanese nuance is immediately felt. The interior is dominated by warm wood touches and simple modern Japanese decorations. Golden yellow hanging lamps and typical Japanese red lanterns give a warm and comfortable impression. Slow background music and soft strains make the dining atmosphere here feel calm, as if taking us out of the hustle and bustle of Medan for a moment. Whether you come alone, with a partner, or with friends, Hota Ramen offers an ideal place to relax while enjoying authentic dishes.
The menu I chose this time is one of the favorites of many customers: Chicken Chasu Extreme Tori. From the name alone, we can already guess that this bowl of ramen is no joke. And sure enough — when the bowl of hot ramen is served, the savory aroma immediately tempts the sense of smell.
The appearance of Chicken Chasu Extreme Tori is truly appetizing. The chewy, yellowish noodles are doused with thick, creamy, but not nauseating, chicken collagen soup. The broth itself is the highlight of this menu: rich in flavor, savory, and full of umami — the result of the process of boiling chicken bones for a long time. The taste is not too salty, very balanced, and suits both local tongues and lovers of authentic Japanese flavors.
The star of the show is of course the Chicken Chasu pieces. The chicken pieces are perfectly grilled with the spices that penetrate to the inside. The texture is tender and juicy, with a slight layer of caramelization on the outside that adds a tempting grilled aroma. Served with classic toppings such as a half-cooked ramen egg with melted egg yolk, sliced spring onions, sweet corn, and nori, making this bowl of Chicken Chasu Extreme Tori taste complex yet harmonious.
For those who want a spicy taste, chili powder and chili pieces are also provided here that can be taken as much as you like.
After eating savory, creamy ramen, here they also sell dessert, namely jiggly pudding. Pudding in the shape of a cute capybara, made from milk pudding served with caramel sauce. The pudding has a soft texture and melts in the mouth combined with the caramel sauce that is just right, not too sweet.
In addition to the attractive food, the service at Hota Ramen also deserves appreciation. The staff are friendly and alert to serve, even not hesitating to provide recommendations for the best menu to customers who are coming for the first time. The cleanliness of the place is also very well maintained, making the dining experience here feel pleasant and safe.
Overall, Hota Ramen on Jalan Setiabudi Medan is a must-visit destination for hunters of authentic Japanese flavors. Whether you are a true ramen enthusiast or just want to taste a satisfying warm dish in the middle of a busy day, Chicken Chasu Extreme Tori will provide an unforgettable experience. Not only about the taste, but also the atmosphere that makes you want to come back again.
That's all my eating out experience at Hota Ramen, I am very enjoy eating ramen there. Hope you enjoy this blog too. See you in my next blog.
