Okonomi by Tokyo Don @ Japan Street, Pavilion

by Taufulou 11/01/2021

If any of you like Okonomaki then some of you know Chef Takeshi did pretty awesome authentic Japan Okonomaki. Now Okonomi by Tokyo Don is operating in Japanese Street Pavilion Level 6. I have been going a few times right after MCO to eat back the Okonomaki till only 3 weeks ago I discover they have move there.

It spark me that could not be that famous outlet is out of business.

Here is their menu.

The main chef Chef Takeshi in action.

You can order a set or can be ala cart. A set comes with ”

Salad: Mesclun salad tossed in vinaigrette dressing.

Pork Belly Omelet is da bomb. That I alway senjoy. Silky smooth egg with special sauce. Simple and spot on.

This is not your usual Sesame Tofu . The texture is so smooth that you are forgeting it is tofu. It is made with black sesame and arrowroot powder.

Avocado with Cheese is a simple snack with Avocado wedge on grilled cheese melt. It’s creamy and cheesy but a tad too oily for my liking.

Jeng jeng jenggg. This is their signature. A must have from Chef. Okonomaki that is done to perfection. The okonomaki is thick enough to my liking, punch with flavour especially chef special sauce. Salty fragrant and goes well with the Pork Okonomaki.

Their next signature is also their Australian Wagyu Sirloin@ RM 190. With some fats in between, grill to just nice. Every bite is enjoyable.

Ral d’ Avinyo Pork Chop @ RM 45

If you cant take beef, then their second best option is their premium quality pork – the RAL d’Avinyó Pig. A special type of pork from Europe. A special cross breed to bring you this juicy tender meat.

Yuzu Sorbet is alway sone of the best desert after Japanese Meal.

If you like Japanese Okonomaki, then this is certainly one of the outlet you want to try it out.

Shakariki 432 Sake Dining @ Desa Sri Hartamas, KL

written by Taufulou

Christmas is just around the corner and all of us are excited to have friends gathering. This was during mid of this year when I visited this outlet Shakariki 432 Sake Dining at Desa Sri Hartamas, KL. This outlet had been in my list for quite a while.

A place that offer nearly all selections like Sushi, Yakitori, Oden and sets.

A simple Japanese, Yakitori place and of course their happy hour is da bomb! Will definitely drop by again but I am not too sure as this menu was during July 2020. RM 12 for Sapporo beer is very good deal.

Menu is very extensive and it seems they have another outlet in Publika.

This their pork charsu is damm good. Burnt crips on the edge and whole piece is well marinated.

They have quite a unique selection of sushi roll. Crunchy Roll @ RM 25. Crispy outside and flavourful inside.

This is one of my favourite. Shisho Kaoru Dashi Chazuke @ RM 15

a skewer of pork @ RM 7

Not a bad place for a Yakitor Japanese food in KL if you are looking for a few variety. Parking here can be an ass but oh well. Pricing is quite reasonable.

Cheap Charcoal BBQ Buffet RM 34.90 at Meat-ing Point @ Sri Petaling

by Taufulou 08/12/2020

written by Taufulou

During pandemic like this, and there are shops like this open, I am certainly impress with their courage. It was a random walk in as were hunting food in Sri Petaling and found this new shop that just open with their special price. Eat all you can charcoal bbq buffet at RM 29.90 and with drinks is RM 34.90 as their opening special and was a too good bargain in this Meet-ing Point at Sri Petaling. What can you expect. Support new businesses , support Lokal.

When we first stumble upon them, they were just 2 days old . Variety of meat that they offer is pretty decent and just a challenge on how you plan to fill up your stomach! Fresh meat that is prep on that day is ready to serve to you to the table. Pick your selection and get it ready to grill. Pork Belly, pork patty & curry beef was our favourite for the night.

With their special bbq pit, it is not as smokey as what we perceive. Could be also only 5 tables were on that day.

We were happy with the meat selection and marination werent the best but acceptable for the price we are paying.

We tried out some of their snacks too.

variety of sauce were offered as they are still on R&D stages.

the owner is pretty open as they ask about our opinion about their food and we gave them feedback accordingly. Of course they are more than happy to listen to most of us and looking forward to further improve their marination base on neighborhood feedback.

Be kind to business owners, as it is not easy to spend money and run a business in this pandemic. Instead of criticize, why not give them a straight feedback where the owner can improve and we can come back an enjoy again. For the price we are paying with eat all you can bbq in KL, I have no complain at all. Just gave them some feedback what should be add on and also what could be further improve. For 2 days in operation, I certainly hope that they can thrive long for their business.

by Taufulou 27/11/2020

written by Taufulou

There is some left over from my over bought of roast pork previous day. Then not sure what to do and craving for Kimchi Fried Rice (previous recipe here). then suddenly have they thought why not add in. So I turn it into Roast Pork Kimchi Fried Rice. Recipe as below:

Ingredients:

120g SPAM
20 g Garlic
70 g onion
350g kimchi (2-3 weeks old prefer)
Others:

1 tbl spoon sesame oil
1 tbl spoon soy sauce

This round I enhance with more ingredient, like kimchi then final, add in 150gram of roast pork. Do a quick stir fry when your rice is about ready.

Make sure the colour of your roast pork turn to kimchi colour then it is then more than ready to take up. This shows that the kimchi taste had gone into the pork.

Of course need to top up with sunny side up!

Toadaa my Kimchi Roast pork fried rice. Yumz!

Authentic Thai Street Food at Baan Korat Thai Restaurant @ Klang

by Taufulou 16/10/2020

written by Taufulou

There is this new hidden gem in Bandar Baru Klang that serve Thai Authentic street food. Operate by a lovely couple with his wife from Thai. A home-cook now by bringing her learning experience from mom and aunt to our table. Baan Korat Thai Restaurant is indeed one of the places to visit as it was a highly recommended place by a reader.

I find that their Thai street food style is quite similar to those in Hatyai!

They just started to run this place right after the first CMCO which is in June and now they are being hit again for CMCO 2. However, they are still operating now at this moment with limited seating.

their place is pack during lunchtime with their famous serving of that ala cart and their moo ping is a must-have according to many.

For the first time, I am here for their unique serving of Thai Claypot Steamboat (Jim Jum) @ RM 39.90 for 2 pax and also, of course, current famous street food Tomyum Mama Instant Noodle Pork @ RM 28 / Seafood @ RM 35 / Seafood & Mince Pork @ RM 38

their thai Ice tea is also pretty spot on. Thick Thai tea flavour and quite milky. Some of you might find it too sweet but then this drink I find it have to be sweet. One glass will do.

the reason I am here for this is I have never try Thai steamboat before and second, it is cook with charcoal.

The set comes with fresh prawns, squid, clams, slice pork , pork and chicken.

Serve along with 3 sauces which is homemade by the chef herself.

The soup is unique which is clear, fragrant, sweet from pork bone, yet add in with ginger, lemon grass, dry chili and hint of this leave that make the soup itself very unique and keep drinking on it.

After a while, we are ready to dig in. It is indeed pretty good as first time experiencing this.

Dipping with the sauce, it has its own flavour. Gren slightly sour, red a a bit spicy and sour. if were to choose, I personally felt the green chili taste better.

Here is the famous instant mama seafood pot at RM 35. Serve with Thai Roast Pork, Home made thai meat ball, clams, squid, eggs, and fresh prawns.

The noodle is cook to perfection. Broth is sweet, milky, creamy, mild spicy and hint of sour end. The soup is cook upon order.

Indeed one of the best Instant mama noodle pot I have had so far! – recommended!

Another dish is chef special classic dish – Baan Korat Special. Serve in Thai Clear soup with minced pork slab, meatball, clams. Drinking the soup itself is quite interesting and if you are in for some taste experience then squeeze lime and add-in of chili powder. It totally enhances the whole bowl of soup. @ RM 13.90

They also do serve mookata and other street food. I will definitely come back again to try out some of their other dishes. It seems like one of the best Thai Street food in Klang that I encounter at the moment. Maybe could beat some of the best thai street food in Pj.

Auntie Sim Kitchen @ Uptown Damansara

by Taufulou 09/10/2020

written by Taufulou

On and off, I keep thinking where to eat whenever go to Uptown Damansara, and drove pass by this shop Auntie Sim Kitchen uncountable times yet did not make a move to go in till recently. Instantly this place had turn to one of a must go shop in Uptown Damansara if you are looking for Hong Kong stir-fried cuisine.

I must say, it is a perfect spot for family gathering if you are looking for Hong Kong dai chow in PJ. Train by a chef from Hong Kong and even some of the signature ingredients are flown all the way from Hong Kong.

As to preserve heritage and a twist of her own, this is a must have starter. Traditional Teochew Prawn Balls @ RM 35. It is a bit pricy but generous with ingredients. A bag full with mince meat, not too salty yet crispy on the outside with the skin and in it I think do have some water chestnut and also chewy juicy prawns. Perfecto!

Next is a simple veggie soup, with its broth are sweet and perfect.

Stir fried Angus Beef with Pepers. Very simple yet perfect in taste. Hint of grind black pepper that did not over power the meat yet the beef was cook to perfection. Juicy and tender that it is medium.

This is one of the dish that instantly hit my palate notes that makes them pretty authentic Hong Kong Dai Chow. Claypot Braised Tilapia with Bittergourd @ RM38 upwards. Not many eateries in KL are able to fried a perfect bitter gourd dish especially topped with black beans. One of the ingredients is imported from Hong Kong that makes it quite authentic.

Anything with their claypot bitter-gourd, I guess should give it a try. I am going to come back for their alternative.

To me another local classic is their fried Duck topped with a twist of chef special gravy. Crispy skin, juicy meat and gravy to smooth gravy to tone the flavour down is indeed pretty spot on!

ahhh, highlight of the night is this : Dry-fried Yee Mee with Freshwater Prawns

This is not the ordinary shang har noodle (so some of you call it that way). as this noodle was serve, the smell of the big head prawn just trail on the air. Makes u instantly hungry. Looking at the springy noodle just makes me want to instantly dig in!

Very fresh prawns that had been fried to perfection. Juicy meat that sips with the soy sauce to my liking. I am in love with the noodle texture as it is one of the best reminiscence to Hong Kong food. Then only found out that it is also imported from Hong Kong. No wonder the springy texture, boink boink and the longish of noodle is just there.

To end the meal, we try their evergreen signature which is a must-try is their Avocado in Thai King Coconut @ RM 16. Silky smooth blend avocado puree which is quite prominent in terms of taste that did not give you the raw skin taste yet a hint fragrant of coconut taste is there. – Recommended!

A perfect place for Hong Kong Dai chow food in PJ. I certainly will come back to try some of their other dishes.

A recommended place
