Edo Ichi Japanese Cuisine @ Island Plaza, Tanjung Tokong

When I spotted Edo Ichi a few weeks back, the first thought that crossed my mind was ‘Do we really need another Japanese restaurant?’
Therefore I felt no real urgency to dine there. But dad being dad, went ahead to try the new place and discovered that Edo Ichi is operated by the same owners [...]

Sumida Japanese Restaurant @ Prima Tanjung, Penang

Sumida Japanese Restaurant is certainly no stranger to the Penang food scene. My family and I eat there regularly and I thought it high time that I finally did a blog post about this place!

Sumida Japanese Restaurant is comfortable and cosy with tatami style seating…

And a sashimi & sushi bar tucked neatly in [...]

I Heart ‘Hajime’ @ Jalan Damai, Off Jalan Ampang, KL

The first time I dined at Hajime was almost a year ago with Samantha. I have loved that place ever since, but never got around to visiting it for a second time.
Recently, I decided to give M an early birthday treat and immediately thought of Hajime.
I was excited as we drove into the big bungalow [...]

Desserts & Cocktails @ Sakae Izakaya/Sakae Teppanyaki, Auto City Juru

One of my favourite places to go for teppanyaki is Sakae Teppanyaki at Auto City. But because it’s located on the Mainland, I hardly have the opportunity to eat there. With the long Deepavali holiday weekend, and also news from my brother that they now have tapas and desserts, we immediately made plans to go.
After [...]

KissA Koyotei Japanese Restaurant @ Jalan Hutton, Penang

KissA Koyotei Japanese Restaurant is not exactly new to the food scene, but when it first opened, my family dined there without me and did not give it glowing reviews. Mainly because of the limited food choices and the menu was all in Japanese!
We promptly forgot about the place. But when we drove past the [...]

Sakae Teppanyaki @ AutoCity Juru

From the people who brought us Sakae Sushi, they now have a specialized teppanyaki outlet – Sakae Teppanyaki at AutoCity Juru which has been opened for a few months.

Sakae Teppanyaki is now our current favourite dining place if we happen to be in the Juru area. My fascination with teppanyaki began at a young age, [...]

Cuisine Bou Japanese Food @ Pulau Tikus, Penang

I find it strange that despite being a fan of Japanese food, I have yet to do a review of a Japanese restaurant until now!
Cuisine Bou is one of the latest Japanese restaurants that have mushroomed around Pulau Tikus area.  A rough count shows that there are at least 7 Japanese restaurants in this area [...]
