MEMI:R, The Exchange TRX

MEMI:R is a Korean buckwheat noodle restaurant at The Exchange TRX, Kuala Lumpur, where the grain is stone-milled and the noodles cut fresh in an open kitchen - bowls cost RM35 to RM48, and it opens daily from 11am to 10pm.

The kitchen is the show. A stone mill at the front grinds the buckwheat, a noodle machine cuts the soba, and the chefs finish every bowl in full view - take one of the counter seats facing the noodle station to watch it happen. The noodles are 100% buckwheat, served cold, warm, in broth or with a dip, with a short list of Korean sharing plates alongside. The dining room pairs an old hanok feel with modern lines: warm timber, natural stone and soft light. You may also see the name written Memir, or in Korean as 메미르.

What to Order at MEMI:R

The menu's house special is the Wide-Cut Dipping Noodles (RM45) - broader ribbons of buckwheat with dipping sauces on the side. MEMI:R's own website singles out three more: the Perilla Oil Noodles (RM35), served cold and dry in fragrant perilla oil that brings out the grain's nutty taste; the Spicy Bibim Noodles (RM38), tossed in a spicy, tangy sauce; and the Lemon Chicken Noodles (RM46), with sous-vide chicken and fresh lemon. On a hot afternoon, the Signature Cold Noodles (RM36) come chilled in the house beef broth.
