Ippudo Ramen cames to Kuala Lumpur.. Sink or Swim? Japanese food is always such a joy to eat. I love the presentation of it which is usually neat, clean and precise. Ramen on the other hand, is the opposite. Each bowl of ramen is different – it is unruly, rebellious.. a mess. It is murky, [...]
We pay Yokotaya a Visit.. the newest Japanese restaurant on the Section 17 strip.. Section 17 is developing nicely into a rather cool neighborhood for good food. Yokotaya, a Japanese restaurant, just opened its doors mid January and we decided to check it out today. When most people think of Japanese food, they usually think [...]
Those of us who grew up with Kampachi from the glory days of Equatorial Hotel Kuala Lumpur, know that it has a cult following. The long silence was almost unbearable as Japanese cuisine aficionados waited for this iconic restaurant to open its doors, and open, it did. On December the 10th, after nearly 40 years [...]
Good sushi goes beyond the fresh glistening hue of the fish. In the chef’s eyes, it incorporates the gentle settling and merging of the fish and rice and sauce as each piece is placed onto a plate. When you’re trying to photograph this act from behind the counter, it isn’t always easy to do your [...]
True sushi connoisseurs are to normal folk what shorn monks are to heathens. They eat their uncooked fish with a quiet, almost monastic reverence and their palates are sensitive to the tiniest affront. They can tell instantly if the sushi rice has been too softly cooked or cooked with too much vinegar, or whether it’s [...]
Arriving at Ten at around 7pm, I find that I might be the only one of 5 guests to have arrived, and I may wonder if I have made the right choice. Well, where Ten is concerned, I have. Busier later in the week and weekends, a quiet early-week evening makes the service, while not [...]
I reach for the glistening morsel with my chopsticks, and place it on my tongue, I makes sure that it’s fish-side down. It feels like silk on my mouth, the fish supremely silky, the rice delicate and subtle with a suggestion of vinegar and a hint of soy. Ah yes, I have been back to [...]
One of the first words that a Japanese colleague ever uttered to me was, Mushashi ramen. It was one of the first ramen shops ever recommended to me, the first time I visited Japan, but it was several visits later, before I finally made it there, even though it was a short 10-minute walk from [...]
If you think you’ve heard of this name before, join the club. I am familiar with the Yamagoya ramen which has more than 100 over outlets in Japan, and now, this ramen joint has come to Kuala Lumpur. The ramen, that is served to you piping hot in a bowl, is actually freshly handmade here [...]
It’s curtains for Equatorial Hotel Kuala Lumpur – an iconic hotel which has stood bold and proud for exactly 39 years. It is true, that what goes down, must come up .. but not before it goes out in style and with a bang! “She want’s to dance with me!” – Rick Astley Last week, [...]
Bangsar Village 2 has gained a new Japanese restaurant, but it is also down by one sushi conveyor belt. Senjyu which has been repositioned from its old name, ‘senjyu sushi’, aims to attract enthusiasts of Japanese food who have grown up eating at kaiten sushi restaurants but are now ready for more refined Japanese dining.
