One of the quintessential Japanese cuisines has to be the nice, warm and comforting soupy noodle dish of ramen. While pork is the heart and soul of the ramen other than its slurp-worthy broth, ramen noodles and other ingredients like ajitama eggs (marinated soft-boiled eggs) and nori, you can also find restaurants that serve halal or pork-free varieties. So, keep reading as we include 8 halal ramen spots you can find in Klang Valley in alphabetical order.

They even offer a spicy miso version, ideal for those who prefer their ramen with a fiery kick. You can enjoy the ramen a la carte or opt for the value-for-money Ayame Set.
