Arata's menu. Arata's kanji means 'Fresh' or 'New'. And can be a masculine name too.
The Japanese chef at work! There were a few staffs in the kitchen preparing food. There were also locals in the open kitchen and outside as well.
Arata serves pork and beer so it's not Halal.
It took some time for our orders to be served but for a good bowl of udon, I don't mind. The soup was clear and the ingredients were fresh and nicely presented. My mouth started to drool at the sight of my bowl of udon goodness. One thing I love about Japanese food is their Ajitama tamago (flavored egg) because they could always make it hard on the outside and soft in the inside, making the yolk soft but not too watery. The vege was fresh and the color was nice. The seaweed was massive and adds more flavoring into the soup. The pork slices were not too fatty, just the way I liked it. For pork lovers, you'll love this because of the porky smell.The highlight would be the noodle and the broth because this is one of the better udon I have tasted in Malaysia. The broth is clear so that it brings out the taste of the udon. The udon was chewy and eggy, texture was good, not very soft nor hard. And don't underestimate the portion. It could look little but because it's thick, it can be pretty filling.
I manage to finish the broth as well because it was savoury and went well with the udon. One of the best in the area. Do give it a try!
