Perfect Simplicity. Marufuku Udon, Jaya One, Petaling Jaya.

(no pork served)


Nebayaki Udon

I am going to proceed off by listing a few things which brings me a greatest happiness as good as joy. The give of a comfortable silt along a beach when we step upon it, with a little particles trickling between my toes whilst my face is being blown by a briny sea breeze.

Listening to a recording of Martha Argerich's live opening of Rachmaninoff's 3rd for a initial time, tears welling up when we comprehend which nobody had ever played it with a virtuosity as good as intensity as good as nobody will ever fool around it similar to which again.

Marufuku's elementary menu

The comfortable hug from my mom as we leave for my studies in an different destination. Myself filled with fear, stress as good as excitement as we proceed to embark upon a brand new proviso in my life. Carrying with me my mother's goal which we will be able to experience something brand new as good as gain some-more knowledge which will someway give me an corner up to be successful in hold up as good as to lead as good as aspire to a hold up she never had a possibility to lead.

Simple joys which beget a warm, overjoyed fuzz.

Signboard

At a neurosensory level, it is something banal. The triggering of sense receptors heading to a propagation of electrical impulses which land up in a brain. At an emotional level, it is breathtakingly exhilarating. The origination of a mental recall plug which defies space as good as time to be summoned at will during periods of desolation as good as despondency as a compose for a sleepy soul, pro re nata.

The bare bulbs

As we entered Marufuku Udon for a initial time, we was somewhat shocked by a rather unappealing interior. Although clean as good as bright, a chairs as good as list looks soulless, sterile as good as cafeteria similar to with exposed light bulbs unresolved unabashedly from it's black embellished ceilings. Only after a food has been served, we realized which all of which does not make a difference since anything else would be a daze to a star attraction of Marufuku. It's Udon.

Wakame Udon

Smooth, somewhat bouncy with a right diameter, lovingly done from fine Australian Wheat. The Perfect Udon. The Udon here is served in a variety of permutations, all of which emphasizes a noodles as good as alternative ingredients only fool around a supporting role to a real star of this restaurant.


Cold House Udon

Perhaps a play of noodle which impressed me most was a House Udon, accessible in both a hot as good as cold version. Udon, a little Konbu Based soup, shoyu, wasabi dirty upon a side, served with a ideally half fully baked egg. Sprinkle a little Shichimi as good as we was greeted with soundness in a bowl.

It was elementary as good as nonetheless a most gratifying play of Udon we have encountered in this partial of a world.

Shitake Yakitori

Their Udon is also accessible in alternative variations. In Wakame Broth for instance, again with a undiluted square of soothing fully baked egg. And if we like, interconnected with a side of kitsune as good as kakiage which roug! hly land a stillness of a Zen similar to purgation of a undiluted play of Udon, mouth-watering we to anticipate as good as bite their ambience as good as texture.

The Oyako Udon is a witty tenure since in Japanese it means parent-child as good as here Chicken meat as good as eggs were combined to a broth, enveloping a noddles with a ambience of poultry. This was my slightest prime play udon since there seems to be a lacuna here which would be filled with some-more scallions.

The Nebayaki Udon as a name implies, comes in a Neba (hot pot) with kakiage as good as a little tempura prawns.

Sake chillling

Asahi Beer as good as Sake is accessible for those who need their booze as good as side dishes which have been served after 5 pm include Yakitori (mainly duck tools as good as Shitake) as good as Hot Pot.

Ice Cream Mochi

Desserts have been sincerely singular here as good as maybe only an after thought. Ice Cream Mochi or Mochi with Azuki Beans. For those who have been hostile towards a unexcited might fill a opening in a their honeyed tooth at The Bee, only a short travel divided which serves a poetic ice thickk cream from The Last Polka.

I would tenure Marufuku a slow quick food restaurant. Well done food, served in different ways though singular variety. we lend towards to drive divided from restaurants with an overambitious menu as a transport is customarily unsatisfactory nonetheless costly to damp a ego of a Chef.

Food in Marufuku is customarily served within 5 minutes, as good as no frills proceed creates a price astounding. Udons have been from RM7 to RM10, Side dishes proceed at RM2.50. If we order carefully, it is cheaper than a McD meal.

Ice Cream from The Last Polka at The Bee

On my latest outing to Marufuku upon a dull Monday filled with burdens of work as good as my suggestion being dampened by rain, we found my outing there rejuvenating. It is amazing how a hot play of noodles can reanimate a sleepy essence as good as notwithstanding what appears to be a Sisyphian task of going by a drudgery in vital seems trivial as good as bearable. Dark thoughts as good as tiredness have been outcast to a corners waiting to be jolted behind by an additional awful day, though whilst sipping a wonderful broth as good as slurping a noodles dim clouds disappeared as good as we suspicion we saw a rainbow appearing in a wet, dim night which blanketed PJ.

I customarily mystify my own hold up as good as clutter it with my neurotic showing as good as lend towards to dont think about which a resolution to all problems would be a simplest approach, a detachment from superficial things which mystify my life. we do not need superficial friends who contest rather than accept, we do not need to give in to a crass, wasteful consumerism which entices me to outlay upon things we do not really need. The simplest things have been customarily a ones which give a most lasting pleasures in life.

Marufuku reminded me which a posh dish filled with pomp as good as rituals might only give transient ephemeral pleasures as good as a simplest dishes baked from a heart have been a ones which have been intransigent. They evokes a best memories which have been tenacious as good as unwavering.

P.S. Thank you, Sea, for your kind messages. You have been a gem. we took a little time today to post something to let we know we am well. :D

Every year, upon the Friday prior to the initial Advent Sunday (26th November this year), the Christkind opens the Christkindlmarkt with the prologue. Unfortunately I was incompetent to see the Christkind for myself as she usually makes appearances during weekdays during selected times only.

The! accessi ble owner of the case provided us with the sample of the lebkuchen prior to you proceeded to buy the few for consumption during home. The lebkuchen was soft as well as crumbly as well as was opposite from any other we've tried prior to in Germany. Perhaps the gluten-free prolongation of the lebkuchen had something to do with it. The prices operation from 1.50 for the customary lebkuchen to 2.50 for the ones lovably decorated with icing.


Half-metre Nrnberger Bratwurst with onions in the baguette for 3.00 the pop. This local speciality was definitely the throng favourite!




Even the Japanese as well as Koreans done their symbol during the market!



The Lorenzkirche (St. Lawrence Church) from afar.


Another highlight of the Yuletide marketplace not to be missed is the hot mulled wine.

There have been assorted types of mulled wine; amongst them the blueberry chronicle or the grape version. For non-alcoholics a! s well a s kids there is the fruit punch option, so no the single is left out! The clay cups/mugs vary from case to stall; each has their unique version.
