Sanuki Udon

Noodles are an integral part of world cuisine, from the East where we have Ramen, Udon, Pad-thai,  to the West where we have Spaghetti, Capellini, Pastitsio and from the refined, angel hair pasta to the unrefined, macaroni cheese.. it’s noodle mania that has caught on and spread throughout the earth like wild fire. But few [...]

To Kobe or not to Kobe, that is the Question..

On my recent trip to Kobe, Japan, one of my dream-dining experiences came true. Kobe beef is regarded as a delicacy for sure, but partaking of that prized meat in situ, as in dining on Kobe in Kobe was like my wildest dream come true. If you ask why this meat is so special , [...]

7 Things that I like about Japan

Working for a Japanese company is a real plus. I get to visit Tokyo at least once or twice a year. In the time that I have worked for this company I have visited Japan, a resounding 17 times. Amongst the places that I have had the privilege to visit include, Tokyo, Fukuoka, Hiroshima, Osaka, [...]

Tykoh Inagiku @ Menara Kek Seng KL

One of the main things I like about Japanese food, is the emphasis on eating things at their “shun” , or “in-season”. When I walk into a good authentic restaurant I like to ask them, what is “in season” at the moment and just leave the ordering to them. Now a days, when we are [...]

Ichiban Boshi @ Sunway Giza, Kota Damansara

I know I might sound repetitive in my old age, but I need to say again just how much I missed certain foods whilst I was away in Java and how eating certain foods in Java , have re-sparked an interest in my eating habits, in areas that I have long neglected. I am of [...]

Fugu without Poison is like …

fugu

Good Morning all! I recently read this article in the Telegraph UK that scientists have learned how to remove the toxin in Fugu! That’s right folks, the Tetrodotoxin is in the bag, and soon, eating Fugu will be like eating any other non-toxic fish in a Japanese restaurant. Think of all the Japanese Fugu master [...]

For Goodness Saké @ Bangsar Village 2

We like For Goodness Saké (pronounced Saké as in the drink ) for the fact that it is new, has terrific ambiance and great Japanese food to boot. They serve mainly various sorts of maki here, Japanese noodles, salads as well as Yakitori (only at night). Cha Soba – green tea soba with soup served [...]
