Hokkaido Ramen Santouka @ Pavilion

What is better than having a bowl of hot noodle soup as brunch in a rainy day?  We arrived at 12am and the restaurant is already in long queue, it took us 15 - 20 mins to get a seat.  The noodle really delicious?  Let's check it out.

Pork Gyoza @ RM10

 The menu mentioned it's chicken Gyoza but when i order, the waitress tell me it's pork.  So, here comes the pork version.  Unlike the ordinary sauce servings i had at other restaurant, instead of ginger and vinegar, it serves with vinegar, soy sauce and chili oil.  A new combinations for me and it taste nice as well.  The Gyoza itself is crunchy at the skin and the meat is well marinated, just having it without the sauce is enough.  Depends on your own preference.

Charhan with Ramen set @ RM33

Ikura rice with Ramen set @ RM41

Char Siu rice with Ramen set @ RM33

Overall, the rice from the sets were taken by my kids.  I just be able to have a small bite of the ingredients.  The Char Siu taste sweet, i guess it's cook with teriyaki sauce.  Ikura is fresh and pop in the mouth.  Fried rice is yummy~

Each sets comes with a small bowl of salad, some pickles, Chawanmushi and a cup of non-refillable chinese tea.  Husband says it's weird of having Chinese tea at a Japanese restaurant, he thought it should serves with green tea.  I agree.

As for the Ramen, you may choose from 3 kinds of soup base:  Shio (Salt Flavour), Shoyu (Soy Sauce Flavour) and Miso (Soybean paste flavour).  Since we order 3 lunch sets, so we have 3 different kinds of soup base at once.  The Ramen serves with a thick slice of slice pork (Char Siu), bamboo shoots, Japanese fish cake and seaweed.  First of all, we taste the soup.  All soup base is thick enough and not oily, i have to give a thumb up for their soups!  Unfortunately, when it comes to their noodle, i have to say it's very disappointed.  It's not the kind of handmade Ramen but more like those yellow noodles with strong alkaline taste.  Especially when you having the noodles with the Shio soup base, the taste is stronger compare to other soup base.

Chawanmushi

I like their Chawanmushi, it contains chicken, shitake mushroom and fish at the bottom.  I can taste the Dashi stock and i love it.  Yumz~

Chicken Teriyaki - Jyu @ RM25 per set

Chirashi - Jyu @ RM35 per set

All lunch sets come with Chawanmushi, Yasai Miso Soup and Agedashi Tofu.  I can't recall the taste of all the sets except the sashimi, it's fresh. ;)  The miso soup taste a bit different compare to the traditional miso soup as it contains mushrooms, it's something new for me.

Zakuro Japanese Restaurant @ Plaza Mont Kiara

This is one of our frequent visit Japanese Restaurant.  My husband likes their teppanyaki set which is quite nice.  This time, we try something other than that.

The menu

Interior

Our green tea

Sashimi rice set

The set comes with prawn, salmon slices, crab stick and etc.  All comes in fresh and thick slices.  One bowl is never enough~

Curry Chicken Katsu set

The Japanese curry has a very strong smell of curry but not too spicy.  The chicken was well marinated with crispy and crunchy outer layer, dip with the curry gravy is perfecto~

Seafood Teppanyaki with fried rice set

A very nice and yummy fried rice served with some prawns, salmon and cuttlefish which cooked in teppanyaki style.  The teppanyaki sauce is yummy and the seafood are fresh too.

Salmon Sashimi

Thick slices of salmon sashimi, actually it comes in five pieces.  Fresh, fresh and fresh~~

Chicken Teppanyaki

The must order item every time husband is here.  He said he would ever miss this or get bored with this.

Chicken Teriyaki 

Chicken Teriyaki, well marinated and juicy.  Yum yum......

Chawan Mushi 

Chicken Sukiyaki

I noticed that most of the Japanese restaurant servings beef sukiyaki instead of chicken.  You may request to  replace the beef with chicken if you don't consume beef like me.  A delish hot pot filled with lots of veges, mushrooms, tofu, chicken and etc.  I can finish this pot all by myself.  'Burp burp'

Actually, we want to order the Maguro Tempura too.  But the waitress told us the Maguro is not fresh today, so the chef refuse to serve it.  I appreciate their responsible on serving food, i will try to make another time to try their Maguro Tempura in future.

Yokozuna Casual Japanese Dining @ Jalan Perak

I have bought few coupons through group buying company at RM9.90 per bento set from Yokozuna.  It's worth to give it a try since we hardly get such price from any other Japanese restaurant.

The menu

The kitchen is behind the whitish wall.

sushi counter

Refillable green tea @ RM2 per person

Seafood Teppanyaki set

 Their teppanyaki contains some prawns, cuttlefish, fish fillet and veges.  Unfortunately, the dish full of butter whereby i can only taste it instead of the seafood.

Saba Shioyaki set

 The saba is fresh with thick meat but the skin is not crunchy enough.

Ebi Tempura set

 The most popular dish for my kids whereby the tempura is nice with fresh prawns.

Chicken Katsu set

The chicken is quite crunchy but it's lack of taste and too dry.

Each set comes with a bowl of white rice, miso, chawan mushi, pickles and fruits.  We are too full to try their sushi, maybe next time.
