yaki.yaki.japs

another buffet time..

(yaayy) this is one buffet i will remember for sure
not because the food itself, but because what happened before the buffet
not gonna tell you the whole story here, but just say..
i almost trapped myself in the house for 2 days (^^')


anyway, back to the buffet..
yaki yaki japanese buffet is the place' name
exactly in front of low yat plaza
i guess that they just opened few months before,
because some of the interior has yet finished
but then.. good for us because it is not so crowded like any buffet elsewhere
also yaki yaki offered special price for weekdays and 50% discount on weekend..
an offer we will not gonna missed out


the food was great
hmm.. at least much better than one japs buffet i had at one utama last time

started with sashimi of course

then ramdomly choose anything that looks interesting
one thing i like they had yakiniku also here..
with lots of sauce selection pick any meat or fish you like
(sorry to say.. no pork here.. ^^)

mix and match the sauce

trying to become rob rainford for once
and get the license to grill
no matter what the taste will be.. hmm


the japs buffet in starhill gallery offered special dishes only for members
but here in yaki yaki, each person have one chance to choose a special dish
between hot or cold sake, cheese baked king prawn..

for me.. a nice warm sake of course :)


unfortunately, for the dessert..
it was not so good
but still.. it is a place to recommend


interested?
the promotion last until august 2nd, 2009

house.is.full.today

there is one particular area that i want to go..but never make it somehow
it is called niuzexui (nzx in short), in ara damansara area, pj
until last week, my friends took me there for a dinner

we eight in one place named full house
my friend, whose been here before, recommended this place
and let me tell you.. for you girls out there, you definitely gonna love this place..
for sure :)

i am sure most of us, girls
have watched or at least knew one korean drama series called full house.. rite?
for guys, the name song hee kyo maybe will be easier to remember ^^

well.. the house you saw in the drama series, you can also find a similar concept here
see the picture yourself and you will understand why full house become the most popular place in nzx

the place

one thing i really like.. the menu

and the most important (for me).. the food

overall...

the interior decorator has done a great job
the chef.. well the food also not dissapointing :)


cant wait to come here yourself?

late.nite.heavy.supper

have you heard about nasi lemak?

it's a famous dish from malaysia, similar like nasi uduk in indonesia.
normally nasi lemak (steamed coconut-milk-rice) served with sambal ikan bilis (anchovies in chilli paste) and boiled or omelet egg. you can also add chicken, or sambal sotong (squid in chili paste), or anything that you want. as long as you got the secret recipe, which is the nasi lemak itself.


last friday nite, we went to this nasi lemak place around seapark, petaling jaya. it's a hawker-style kind of place, but was so crowded. they also got nasi goreng kambing (lamb fried rice) and other menu, but the nasi lemak is their speciality.


i normally eat nasi lemak as a breakfast, so the idea to eat nasi lemak at nite was.. hmm different (for me). no complaint here though, just take note, it really is a big heavy supper. but it wasn't for the same reason i didn't eat that nite, not because a diet reason or anything (hmm..) i just have to order a take-out. so the next morning, i re-heated the nasi lemak and tried to serve it nicely. i took few snaps before i finally eight it.


the nasi lemak was suberb . . . very rich, you can taste the coconut milk flavour, along with this chocolate colour sauce also anchovies and fried groundnut they put in it. hmm . . . although i don't think it's a similar chili paste sauce you get from any other nasi lemak stall.



on the other hand my friend was right, the fried egg and the fried chicken is a bit oily. the chicken skin was okay, but the meat itself is rather tasteless or plain for me. but for a portion of great RM4.50 nasi lemak ayam, i totally recommend it.

how to get there? well.. i'll have to ask the person behind the wheel for that, will update later on.

eat.all.u.can.sushi

finally!

after sushi-fasting for almost three months... it's payback time (yeaay)
and guess what, today is a special day... and this is my #8 post (double yeaay)

i already aim this one sushi restaurant since i read ky's blog. the name is rakuzen, in chulan square, kuala lumpur. i heard they are actually the same as zanmai sushi, my favourite conveyor-belt sushi restaurant for now. luckily, rakuzen got sunday buffet lunch, only sunday and only lunch time, for RM55++ for adult and RM28++ for children (last time only 40something if i'm not mistaken... hmm)

it is actually very easy to reach there, well i got lost in the beginning because came out from the wrong pavillion mall exit door and got misdirection... shame on me, i know.


i booked one week ahead, minimum pax is 2 person and it's only from 12pm to 3pm. they will give you a list of menu, so you just have to order what you want. but be wise and don't be too overwhelmed, there's also charge for wastage food you left, RM10 for every 100gram.

as this was a breaking-fast moment for me, as a start i ordered (not too) many items. hot ocha for sure, then chuka wakame, chuka chinmi, chuka iidako, sashimi moriawase (assorted sashimi), and sushi moriawase (assorted sushi). there was also yanagawa nabe, udon, and miso soup.


the sashimi includes maguro, shiromi, sake, tako, and ika. the sushi includes maguro, shiromi, sake, unagi, nama hotate, ni hotate, ebi, tako, ika, ebikko, tamagoyaki, inari, and kaori-hana kani.

while waiting the food to come, i prepared the the wasabi and shoyu. it may sound weird, but i like to mix the wasabi into the shoyu with lots of chili powder and sweet sauce.

sweet sauce? yup, the black thick sweet taste soya sauce. not all sushi place got this one, so i am starting to consider bring myself one everytime i go (hmm...). beside sushi or sashimi, i also like to dip sweet ginger to this mix sauce (yummy and refresh-ing).


the second order was another spider roll, sake sashimi, chuka kurage, soft shell crab, yakitori, and finally after almost two hours eating, we finished up with macha ice cream (i managed to eat two... yaay).


final impression? well.. i actually hoping for more. to be honest, it wasn't as nice and most importantly as fresh as i imagine. but still okay laa.. at least much better than last time i eight buffet in one japanese restaurant at bandar utama. maybe i came on the wrong day or just not my luck. i still gonna come there again one day.

pancakes

early 2008
a friend asked
hey, have you heard about pancake?
sure, a cake in a pan...
no nooo...
found this new place, where you can eat pancakes
not only with syrup, jam, butter or ice cream
but also with sausage, ham, bacon, hash brown and mashed potato
and tastes as good as it looks,
oh.. is it a cake-bread kind of place?
hmm.. sort of
oh okay (not that interested)

until, few months after that, my two bestest friends came to visit. as we looovee to eat so we try that pancake-bread place. it turns out super great (yaay). the place's name is paddington pancakes, at the curve mall, damansara perdana.

this is my favourite mall in malaysia. here, is actually 5 (five) mall combined into one large area. there is the curve, tesco hypermarket, cinelleisure, ikano shopping mall, and the one and only, ikea. but the concept itself is an open air mall, similar like parisj van java or cihampelas walk in bandung. ooppss... wrong topic here, okay back to food.

so, as you can see from the name, their speciality is pancakes, of course. but with many many many kind of pancakes, we even need more than half an hour just to pick and order what we want. all the things in the menu looks so tempting, but we got to choose...

in the end, this is the first item which we order. with the price RM22.50 menu number 406, double gourmet cheese sausages, beef salami, hashbrown, and grilled mozarella complete with salad and cherry tomatoes. i don't know what they called for the sauce, but it makes the whole thing complete.






the second item called dollar pancakes. basically it contains a lot of mini pancakes, together with strawberries, peaches (hmm... my favourite), apple cubes, and cashew nut.

don't forget two scopes of ice creams, which you can choose chocolate, strawberry or vanilla flavour (we chosed chocolate and vanilla) and lastly strawberry syrup poured on top of it.

(yummy) it tasted as good as its looks.
yes, that is my first experience at paddington pancakes, on may 2008. then early this year, feb 2009, i got another visitor (hmm.. lucky me..) and another chance to eat here.

but for this time, i completely forgot to write down the dishes name, so can only show you the pic. if i'm not mistaken, first picture was somekind of a chessy-pancake-pizza, second one was pancake with hash brown, beef bacon and ham. third one was lasagna with spinach-pancake roll.

attempt.number.one

last saturday, i want to try out my 60mm lense. i bought this lense because food is my main object and i got this very useful information from lolo, one of the food blogger.

anyway, i was looking for an object and i saw this chocolate bar that i kept in the fridge. and that time, i was really craving for something sweet so i just grab it, took a few snaps and later -eight- it. supposely, that chocolate is 'belong' my friend, he requested it since last christmas (oops...)

but i can never eat too much, a bit too sweet for a bitter dark chocolate lover like me. aside from that, this chocolate is really good. i like it because it contains rhums inside hmm...

a best friend of mine suggested the chocolate. she is one of my ultimate partner in crime for food and happen to be a supermaket addict who can spent hours in it. one of her main dreams is to have a real-u-can-use cash register, well happy to know she finally got the almost-alike-but-u-still-can-use one last birthday (hooraii)
so you can actually find this chocolate in any supermarket store, but in few cases they don't have the rhum flavour.

i skipped my lunch that day and soon few hours after that, i got very hungry. too lazy to cook, i just took an instant ready use one, curly wollie unhealty noodle. never thought it would be so tempting, especially when you are hungry. so this is it, instant noodle with onion minced beef and a couple of baby spinach leaves from my own backyard-pot.
