I just discover back a folder that I have been looking back last time. It was a job I am assisting my friend for a food photoshoot in this restaurant for her magazine write up. It was a great exposure and experience for that time given by Ee Lune my ex colleague.

I am sure some of you have read the write up for Ozeki Italia (click here) which is a new division from this company with a cross mixture of authentic food with Italian. As we head back to the main branch that had been operate in the heart of Kuala Lumpur which is Ozeki Toyko Cuisine located next to KLCC or the building next to Poppy Club (used to be).

ozeki (1)

Ozeki Tokyo Cuisine offer authentic Japanese food dining experience which is not so much localise. Filling your plate with fresh sashimi and chef special of the day is something that you would usually hunt for. I love something which is unique or not in the menu.

ozeki (2)

a huge spacious place that can easily filled up 80 – 100 pax of customer at one go and this restaurant have their loyal customer base which is most of them are Japanese.

ozeki (3)

Soft music playing at the background, great service from the floor crew, recycle sakae bottle used to decorate as wall partitions, providing a simple dining experience.

ozeki (4)

All these kitchen crew are all train by  Executive Chef Hitoshi Kimijima . ..

ozeki (5)

and I get to see Executive Chef  Hitoshi Kimijima with his superb knife skills on slicing all the sashimi. I often get to watch this on Japanese drama but never live and up close.

ozeki (7)

Salmon sashimi. .

ozeki (8)

Edamame boil in hot water that make it soft and warm. I used to dislike this dish and friend thought me how to enjoy it ..

ozeki (9)

ozeki (10)

Then we were pamper with sake. I love this bottle of sake that is serve on chill, simple and easy to drink and pairs well with sashimi. Fragrant on the after taste. If you do come here and dine, try to order this bottle. – Recommended~ (apologize for not knowing the name of this sake)

ozeki (11)

another one is with plum and lemon flavor. Simply refreshing and drink with care.

ozeki (12)

ozeki (13)

Mango unagi salad. . . . something new to me as the dressing pairs well with unagi and mango, mango is fresh and unagi been grill to perfection.

ozeki (14)

Presentation of Sashimi boat is simple and place on top of a ice bed to ensure the freshness.. Needless to say, it had been a while since I come near to good sashimi and no wonder this outlet is still standing strong after 10 years.

ozeki (15)

One word to say, it taste awesome!

ozeki (16)

Next is this beef cubes being place on top of the hot grilling pan and let it grill slowly. Juicy and moist  as it is and the fats of beef make grilling and oozing out along make the taste even more aromatic.

ozeki (17)

something light to dance on our palate that seve in a unique way with a huge cube of wooden plank at the bottom with fire cooking along on this huge shell of scallop is something light and tasty. Huge scallop meat is fresh, chewy when biting.

ozeki (18)

Volcano roll . ..

ozeki (19)

One of the best volcano roll that I can find in KL, with fresh ingredient and drench with burning cheeze along its the most perfect dish and taste I have discover so far. Would not want to describe this and would love you to go try for yourself. – highly recommended!

If you are looking for authentic Japanese restaurant to dine, this is one of a restaurant would fall into my recommended dining area and of course there are other good Japanese dining as well, but this outlet is not to be miss.

Well, since I am back to Penang for the weekend and decided to join the latest hype in Penang is about this newly open Charlie Brown Café which is first in Malaysia at Straits Quay which will become one of the hottest spot for F n B area. I am quite surprise that they choose to open in Penang first instead of Kuala Lumpur.

When I see many people check in this outlet, I have no clue who is Charlie Brown until I saw Snoopy in it. I guess we do know who is Snoopy since when we are a kid then I google bout it and only realise that Snoopy is actually a pet of Charlie Brown, well, till date I still called it Snoopy Café which I felt more suitable for it. 😀

Charlie Brown (1)

it was Monday for public holiday, many people throng Straits Quey for a family gateway or tea with friends.

Charlie Brown (2)

Charlie Brown Cafe which is easily to be found as they are located directly above Papa Rich as once you take the escalator up here, you will see alot of flashes and once you are up you will be greet with lots of Charlie Brown n gang on the wall . .

Charlie Brown (5)

The whole place is decorated with Charlie Brown n gang that many pictures you can be seen right like the comic feel.

Charlie Brown (6)

Big and spacious place for you to hang out.

Charlie Brown (7)

and there are 2 counters for you to line up to place your order, as they do not have menu on the wall something like Starbucks, their menu is a booklet menu place right beside the cashier, while waiting you can just pick it up and look at it where by it will cause the long queue because not many people notice on that.

It was quite okay, as in the chiller, they offer cakes of the day, and cashier was very friendly to introduce what they have for the day and what is their signature, I would say, she over promote the cakes but good efford. 🙂

Charlie Brown (8)

You can be also seated right at this sofa area that can enjoy the view of the harbour  .. . .

and if you do plan to have little kids birthday party, I guess this function room will be the right choice to host on it, and also can do discussion . ..

Moost of their table are decorated with different Charlie Brown Character.

Charlie Brown (21)

One of the most interesting thing is, I love their menu, as they do it in Comic Style. . .

Charlie Brown (22)

and their cake section, with all the colourful design of cake that filled with individual character.

Charlie Brown (23)

So what I say the cashier promote this Blueberry Cheese Cake as I find it very tempting also, as honestly, its just the look only. The cake tasted so so with too much sponge cake in it and the cheese taste is not impressive yet the taste of it was spoilt by the solid glitter candy which is too sweet that overpower the taste of the cheeze and blueberry. RM 9 (if not mistaken)

Charlie Brown (24)

Charlie Brown (25)

Here comes my ‘Mocha’ that turns out to be not bad, as I didnt expect it to be good as usually this kind of cafe do not serve good coffee. Just that the milk is burn, that makes it too hot to sip . . RM 11 ( if not mistaken)

Charlie Brown (26)

This is one of their signature drink, as I cannot really remember the name of it as its more like a Oreo drink, I would say I have tasted much better ones. RM13.90 (If not mistaken)

Well, I do heard feedback from my friend saying that their food did not impress and I would say that, if you love camwhore and taking pictures, this would definately a place to come by and enjoy. For Food and drinks, I have no comment as with the price I am paying, I certainly can find much better one.

– I forgot to take my receipt and price n name is just base on my agak agak memory .. .
