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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
