Just last week, the FoodNinja Team had a mini vacation across the border over at Kuala Lumpur. After roaming around and still hungry for more food, we stumbled upon Ru Di Fook Noodle Bar, located at Kota Damansara. Even though it was already 10pm but yet there's still three to four tables of customers is probably a good sign - and we decided to give it a try.


Decorated with neon lights and backgrounds of comic strips in a red overlay and paired together with an open bar counter, this noodle bar definitely gives off a very hipster feel - making you feel cool just hanging around here. The menu serves up Asian dishes yet with a western twist, such as foie gras in maki and pasta in replacement of ramen in their noodles section.


Upon entering, we were greeted warmly by the service staff and brought to a table. When we asked for water, they gladly served up a whole pot of water in a decorative Chinese patterned jug. With some recommendation from their staff, we quickly placed our order and waited patiently for our food.

Luncheon Meat Fried in Wanton Skin RM9.80

Foie Gras Aburi Salmon Maki RM18.80

Yummeh Clam Ginger Noodles RM20.80

The first mains to arrive was the Yummeh Clam Ginger Noodles. A big bowl of noodles in a miso based broth topped with clam and mussels. The miso flavour was light enough to not steal the light from the ginger, garlic and goji berry who is supposed to be the main star of the broth. The mussels and clams were fresh and juicy. The only fault in this dish, if we had to name one, was probably the noodles which seems to be like a thick linguine were a little too thick for us to eat.

Assam Saba Pasta RM20.80

Next was the Assam Saba Pasta, which we ordered because we were so intrigued by its name. The pasta is cooked in a spiced tomato sauce with eggplants and lady finger (okra) studded in it and paired together with a perfectly grilled saba fish. On the first taste, we could taste the overwhelming tomato base the pasta was cooked in. However as we continued eating, the pasta became a little too spicy and intense for our taste. Despite a strange pairing in our opinion for the saba fish with the Assam pasta, both of them came together quite well in the end. However if you are not one for spicy food, we would recommend you to give this a miss.

Crazy Duck Confit Pasta RM20.80

Lastly came the Crazy Duck Confit Pasta, which is supposedly the main star of the menu considering it helmed a full page in the menu. The crispy, yet moist duck confit was matched up perfectly with pasta which was cooked in aglio olio style with pea sprouts and shitake mushroom and served with half an onsen egg. Among the pasta dishes, this is our favorite - it's duck confit after all. What could go wrong after all.
