IMO, botak jones is kinda over-rated. Not that I don't like it, but I've heard so many people talking about it and how much they enjoy it and all, but then, are the food really that good?
Yeah, the serving is huge and thus its kinda value for money. The thing I enjoy when I'm at Botak Jones (twice) is reading the menu! Have to give credit to the creator of the not-so-elegant-but-fun-to-read-menu. Bring one home if you want. They have lots! And I'm sure they'll photocopy new copies when the old ones wear off.
If you're hungry for beef patty or huge sausages, you can give botak jones a try. As they say, "They really don't care."
Went to have dinner at this outlet this evening. Sadly, we went home w/o any food... just liquid...
Here's the story why.... We placed our order with the waitress - lobster bisque, prawn salad and bread pudding for dessert. (The bread pudding was our reason for being there.)
After checking with the kitchen, the waitress came back to inform us that the bread pudding was sold out. Disappointed, but we decided to stay for the soup and the salad.
Our table, no. 13, was next to the kitchen and we have see every order that came out. There were a couple of orders before us (all main courses) so it took quite a while for our simple soup to arrive. (45 mins to be exact. cos we were in a rush so I was eyeing my watch the entire wait.)
We drank our soup and thought our salad will come soon... however, after 10 mins, we still didn't see anything served. Then the waitress came and asked if we can change our order cause the kitchen ran out of prawns!!! WHAT?!?!?! After so long than they realised they've ran out of prawns??? We were very upset. We told her to cancel our order. When I asked for a pen from the waitress to fill up the customers feedback form, than the manager started to panic. He checked with the kitchen, and they started searching for prawns around the kitchen!
Well, it's either the kitchen staff were lazy or they didn't bother to check, cos the manager came back while I'm already 2/3 through writing my feedback on the form, saying that the can serve the prawn salad if we still want it as they've found prawns in their kitchen store!... funny isn't it?
Ramen! My favourite noodles! And so great to have it Halal certified! So everyone can enjoy their yummy and spicy ramen!
My favourite must be their ultra spicy ramen soup base! Always makes me sweat and my nose blocked when I drink it. But its just super shiok! And when I'm hungry, I'll make it a big bowl (extra ramen) in my order.
And his favourite is the dry ramen. For those who don't like soupy noodles, their dry ramen is very nice too! Give their Tom Yam Dry Ramen a try. You'll sure want to go back for more!
Ramen Ten is also available at Jubilee AMK, and I'm sure few more places... look out for their red interior and big green signboard spelt out Ramen Ten!
Give it a try! And share what you like/ don't like about Ramen Ten!

Tried the mango flavor yogurt last week. It was nice. But not fantastic.
Lots more room for improvement for them I have to say.
They also have another outlet at Downtown East (opposit Pizza Hut). Give it a try and let us know what you think.
Personally, I would probably give it a miss the next time.
