Eyuzu Japanese Cuisine: Fresh Air Flown Fish from Japan
Eyuzu Japanese Cuisine at Eastin Hotel Kuala Lumpur is one of our favourite Japanese restaurants around. Their Shumatsu buffet dinner is top notch as they serve only quality Japanese specialties; from the freshest sashimi to piping hot teppanyaki grill and crisp tempura fried upon order. I dare vouch that they are really good as we were there last July not for a media review but to celebrate Ethan’s birthday and find the buffet spread as […]

October Japanese Cuisine, Johor Bahru
It’s the festive season and almost everyone I know is busy holidaying somewhere. We just got back from a great getaway too. We went to this place where cherry blossoms is in full bloom. It’s so beautiful that we can’t resist but to take a family picture under the alluring sakura arch. Bright cherry blossoms and the rustle of bamboo give such a serene ambiance to this location. I believe I could have tricked a handful of […]

Delicious and crispy salmon skin crackling that got the boys wanting more. Some of the main items are not featured in the […]

Ramen Ten @ Jaya 33
Ramen Ten is Singapore’s first and popular Halal Japanese restaurant. I found out about it during my recent trip down south but did not get the chance to dine there due to my limited time in Singapore. They have an outlet in PJ Jaya 33 too so we thought we might as well give it a try. Ramen Ten is on the ground floor of Jaya 33 and can be easily spotted from the main […]

Senjyu @ Bangsar Village II
Over the long weekend we spent most of our time eating. I don’t know. I think it’s a Malaysian thing. We happy, we eat. We bored, we eat. We stress, we eat. We angry, we eat :P As for us, we were not angry nor stressed out but purely wanted to kill time. Since we had so much time in our hands, we drove all the way to Bangsar for some Japanese cuisine. We went […]

Xenri D’River View Chinese New Year Lou Sang
Remember we had dinner at Xenri not too long ago? We saw that their Yee Sang set will be up soon so I quickly gathered my best pals to try it out. The thing about Lou Sang is the more the merrier and merry we were that fine afternoon as there were 10 of us excited to try out their luxurious Yee Sang. A row of beautiful bamboos outside Xenri. If you ever have trouble finding […]

Sakae Sushi Salmon Yee Sang
Chinese New Year is less than a month away. We are getting busy spring cleaning, making angpow lanterns, shopping and more to usher the 2015 Lunar New Year. It’s also a must for some to buy a box of Yee Sang to toss at home with the family on CNY day. Same goes for us. Last Saturday, we were at Sakae Sushi not to tapao their Yee Sang yet but to dine in and lou sang […]

Xenri D’River View
OK this post is not about me selling Elken products but coincidentally I was at Wisma Elken to meet up a friend who was there to collect something. It was late evening by the time I arrived there so we decided to have dinner nearby. It was just several days into the new year 2015 and we thought we should ‘eat big’ to start our year with abundance so we made our way to Xenri (located […]

Pasta Zanmai @ Sunway Pyramid
Darling had to meet a client in Sunway today so we took the opportunity to tag along. He dropped us in Sunway Pyramid and after a while I got tired and hungry. I thought of having pizza but it was too far and coincidentally we were right in front of Pasta Zanmai. Since we’ve never tried dining here, I went right in with Ethan and Ayden. Pasta Zanmai @ Sunway Pyramid As soon as we […]

Sushi Zanmai @ Sunway Pyramid
When it comes to choosing a place to eat, there are 2 types of people in this world. One who will go to eateries with the longest queue and join the line and the other who will enter the almost empty eatery so he/she will get served immediately. The person who joins the longest queue does so because he believes it is worth queuing because there is good food waiting for him in there; hence […]

Bread Sushi
Ethan was on medical leave the other day and we got hungry but I realised we ran out of rice at home. I’ve not been cooking much lately so we don’t have much stuff stocked up at home. I checked and all we had was bread, egg and nori sheets. Bread, egg and nori sheets. What can we make out of them? We made sushi! Bread sushi to be exact… Here’s how we made the cheat […]

The school holidays is here and that means parents (mostly urban families) signing their kids up for various holiday programmes available to keep their kids occupied. As for us, we did not sign Ethan up for anything except this bento making workshop organised by BaoBei. Though he attended a similar workshop last year (read about it here) he is still keen to attend it this year as he enjoyed it a lot. Last year Darling […]

Going Japanese this Valentine’s Day at Fu-Rin Japanese Restaurant
From the very first year Darling and I dated, we’ve always celebrated Valentine’s Day having western food. I don’t know why, it was never Oriental, local or anything but it has always been WESTERN! This year however, we celebrated Valentine’s with a twist. Well, besides celebrating it a week earlier and also celebrating it together with friends, we went Japanese this time around at Fu-Rin Japanese Restaurant, Holiday Inn Kuala Lumpur Glenmarie. Our appetizer was […]

What to do with mayonnaise?
I got this bottle of Japanese mayonnaise from Ethan’s class educational trip recently. I have no idea what to do with it until yesterday when I discovered that it is going to expire this December when I stripped it! :P Oh dear, better use it fast before it expires! Japanese Kewpie sudah bogel :D What we did was to blanch some carrot sticks and cut some japanese cucumbers. I used normal carrot as I doubt […]

Sakae Sushi @ Paradigm Mall
Paradigm Mall. Have you heard of Paradigm Mall? By now lots have been said about that mall. We visited that mall two days after their official opening and sad to say that it was extremely dusty. The floor was slippery and I almost slip a couple of times. It was not easy navigating through the awkwardly designed mall with bottleneck human traffic at certain areas of the mall. That was my first visit to the […]

Bento workshop for kids
Today, Darling and I accompanied Ethan to his school’s educational trip – bento making. When Ethan initially brought home the permission slip, he told us that ONE adult must accompany him. I volunteered to go but Darling said it would be nice to make it a family outing as well so we paid for 2 adults and 1 kid :) Ethan was given a bento set, a pair of gloves, a hair net and a […]

Gokuraku Ramen, Mid Valley
Chief Cook Victor @ Goku Raku Ramen Though they are still considerably new, I’ve read lots of mixed reviews about this place. It evokes the curiousity in me so when a bunch of friends decided to try out this place, I am all game. Since there will be a big group of us, we made prior booking and got ourselves a comfy corner. Comfy corner @ Goku Raku Ramen Meal was pre-arranged so all we […]
