I'm about to blog about one of the things that makes Asian culture so special! FOOD!!! In this particular blogpost I'll be suggesting some good Japanese and Korean restaurants to dine at in Malaysia (yes my blog has suddenly become this little tourist/local information corner hahaha~).
So where to??? First place on the list is Yuzu KLCC~
Yuzu is a japanese restaurant located on the top floor of KLCC. The restaurant is coloured in orange paint (or it could possibly be wallpaper...hmm) because 'yuzu' in japanese stands for 'orange.' Yuzu has a great range of bento sets. (Bento is like packed food only this time it is served in wooden boxes in Japanese restaurants) Their prices are reasonable, starting off at around RM28 to RM45. The bento sets come with a choice of either unagi or fish/ sashimi (I don't think they have chicken sets yet) and all sets have miso soup, tempura, 3 mini slices of sashimi and side fruits and veggies. The other stuff on the menu are equally good as well. The sushi they serve are extremely fresh thus one needs a bit of patience while waiting for your meals as it takes time to prepare really good freshhh sushi. Overall, the restaurant can be given 4 stars out of 5. The ambience is really nice and it is a great place to catch up with a pal as well as to have pleasant conversations. The service is not bad as well. Despite the long wait for the food, the waiters and waitresses are really friendly and helpful.Craving for some Korean meals??? Then off we go to SOOPONG restaurant (location: Berjaya Times Square, Lower Ground)
Soopong is not just any korean restaurant. It is in fact a Kpop + korean dining place. On the walls of the restaurant are posters of Kpop idols, and most of it are the latest posters from Korea. The music played in the restaurant are the latest songs in the Kpop industry too. On the day I went (a few days ago), Big Bang's Blue and Fantasic Baby were playing! I got a minor shock while chewing on my food hahah~ The food served are good too! I especially love their ddokbukki (umm correct spelling eh?? well it sounds like that ;p) and the sweet pancake! The bimbimbap is equally yummy as well~ Rating?? Another 4 out of 5~ YOu can enjoy good korean food while bobbing your head to cool korean pop beats~ (ummm that's what I saw other costumers did... hahah~ Some even sang mind you~)
Other Japanese restaurants I would like to recommend:3) Sushi Tei (Tropicana Mall)
Sushi Tei has good udons and tempuras! Their lunch bento sets have a great variety and are at affordable prices too. The only problem with this place is the high service tax that they charge which could be as high as RM11. (0.0)
Overall rating (3.5/5)
4) Sushi Zenmai (One Utama/ The Gardens)
Sushi Zenmai used to be my fav japanese restaurant. Sadly, the queues are REALLY LONG and the service has detoriated greatly. On numerous visits, my food came 30 minutes late and my udon was served cold when it should be hot..... However, the japanese parfaits in this place is still number 1! The green tea parfait is just too good to resist! It comes with macha and vanilla ice-cream, cornflakes, red beans and jelly bits! OOOOOO it's soooo good! Perhaps one day I shall take a picture of it and paste it in my blog for you guys to see and drool! hehehe~
Overall rating (3/5)
So there you have them~ Good and relatively good japanese and korean places to eat. I apologise for the limited options of Korean restaurants I gave as I have only recently begun to appreciate Korean food~ I shall explore more Korean restaurants and cafes in the future and recommend them to you guys~ Sayonara dear readers and have a good time this week! Kamsa Hamida~
