Aori Ramen
The highly anticipated ramen shop opened by Big Bang's Seungri is now operating in Pavilion Kuala Lumpur. It was no surprise when we saw a queue just to get in to the store. With over 30 other outlets across Korea, China and Vietnam, this is the first outlet in Malaysia.

What gives Aori Ramen it's fame is not just Seungri's name attached to it but its signature Don Kotz Ramen with Hoso noodles cooked in tonkotsu broth. It also offers Asahi beer, soft drinks, green tea, and sparkling water.

Address: Lot 6.36.00 Level 6, Pavilion Kuala Lumpur, 168 Bukit Bintang, 55100 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
