We were looking for somewhere to eat around Taman Desa and I was so hungry. We almost had dinner at some random Chinese coffee shop but my friend happened to chance upon a court in the middle called Japanese BBQ. I initially thought it was just a Malay warung and was quite hesitant to eat there. My friend ordered Lamb Shoulder (RM 15), Lamb Loin (RM 10), Beef (RM 10) and Pork Stomach (RM 10).

We were looking for somewhere to eat around Taman Desa and I was so hungry. We almost had dinner at some random Chinese coffee shop but my friend happened to chance upon a court in the middle called Japanese BBQ. I initially thought it was just a Malay warung and was quite hesitant to eat there. 

My friend ordered Lamb Shoulder (RM 15), Lamb Loin (RM 10), Beef (RM 10) and Pork Stomach (RM 10). All the meat is quite reasonably priced at RM 10 per plate compared to the Japanese and Korean BBQ restaurants which usually sell at RM 40 a plate of BBQ. My friend helped me to cook all the meat and I kept eating while he kept cooking. I was a bit embarassed though. 

We totally love the Chicken Ramen (RM 10) where the 2 thin slices of smoked chicken was so tender and juicy. The hard-boiled egg was also just right. The bean sprouts were also nicely cooked and was without the raw taste. 

For RM 1 each for green tea, it was so worth it that we were given a very big jug of iced green tea which we finished most of it.

I love the environment and ambience here. Despite the simple setting, the cool night breeze was incredible. The 80s jazz music on the background makes me feel like dancing on the street. If I were in the states, I would do that. It was like dancing in the air. The music and setting made me feel like I am overseas. 

I felt that the overhead for setting this place is very low as they only need to rent the area and provide simple tables, makeshift BBQ pit made of big plastic barrels. The BBQ pit is made on top of a wooden chair.

The ingredients used are definitely fresh while it is managed by the same people from the Sanuki Udon. Being the master of noodles, this place also sells Japanese noodles for those who cannot bear to wait for the meats to cook. The ramen was moderately amazing, not the best of quality but comforting enough to satisfy hunger and palate at the same time.

The Gerai Makan Japanese BBQ is one place for the great experience for BBQ especially with big appetite and beautiful weather with some cooling breeze. They are located at the back alley of Plaza Faber right at the center court and enclosed within some shop lots and flats. It would be difficult to locate or even spot the stall if not observant enough but with so many people talking about it, this place is no longer news to most of us.Selling very simple meals and offering the hands on experience

Selling very simple meals and offering the hands on experience to cook and grill your own food actually adds on to the thrill of dining at this place on top of the good food served.

Pork was lovely and so is the beef. Because you are your own chef, you control the degree of doneness.

The meats are fresh and simple, nothing too fancy while they also offer things like salmon wrapped in aluminum foil ready to be baked on the burning heat of the charcoal. Forget about the salmon really, it was nothing to shout about unless if you must have salmon.

Having a colleague who'd always mention about pork during office hours at least once a day isn't helping me into getting a slimmer body figure, but to crave more for the non-halal piece of meat.
Thanks to Daniel, another carnivorous eater, who has recently joined force as my partner-in-crime for food explore, hence off we go to the famous Japanese BBQ at Taman Desa.

First attempt was a disaster, we went there on a raining Monday night, only to find out that all the 3 restaurants by Mr Seiji Fujimoto (along with Maruhi Sakaba and Sanuki Udon) were closed. Oh yes, don't ever trust the "opens daily" as published from elsewhere, they are all closed on Mondays.
Second attempt was a gamble on luck, there was still drizzling at 5pm and finally stopped when we were there.

Faber Plaza was pretty easy to find with the help of "Jalan Desa Jaya" on Waze navigation apps.
Japanese BBQ is located at the center court of Faber Plaza, easily recognizable with its zinc roof, red bricks, and the red lantern with the words of 居酒屋 (Izakaya).Rustic environment with al fresco dining.
Though not preferable especially at this hot weather of Malaysia, we went on a good timing for BBQ which is after the rain, hence the cool evening breeze.

豚肉ラーメン Pork Ramen RM10
This ramen has quite justify its value of RM10, or even did more than that. Still far from the level of those chain Japanese Ramen restaurants but good enough to fill our groaning stomach while waiting for the meat to be ready.

ラムジンギスカン Gengkhis Khan RM20
This is the only lamb dish in the menu and would be the first dish if you ever order it, since it comes in a sizzling hot pan.
Mongolian lamb stew of tenderness, minimum gamey taste yet so flavourful that I wished to have a bowl of rice with me.
By the way, that's the ultimate compliment one can give in chinese culture.
We even finished all the cabbages as they have absorbed the essence of both meat and broth.
Not even one drop of the soup was wasted as the staff poured it all for us while he takes the hot pan away.

キノコホイル焼き Mushroom Foiled Yaki RM10
Oyster mushroom, enoki mushroom, shitake mushroom, chopped onion with butter as seasoning.

We've ordered ビーフリブアイ Beef Ribeye RM10, ポークベリー Pork Belly RM10 and ポーク内もも Pork Inside Leg RM10.
They are all small in portion I must say.

They also offer meat selections of lamb, pork and beef along with long list of innards to choose from, such as tongue, intestines and much more.

We then proceed with the grilling after the staff has taken away the hot pan.
Dripping pork lard had just made the fire gone wild.

While the meat was fresh with minimal marination, it goes great with the sauce provided which is a mixture of Japanese soy sauce, sake, mirin, sugar, garlic and sesame.

野菜焼 Mixed Vegetables RM5
Heated but uncooked vegetable?
While this doesn't make sense, it did happen. The vegetable was either overcooked with burnt edges or too raw to be consumed. Top up another RM5 to Teppanyaki Vegetable is highly recommended.

Unlike other restaurants that do online marketing, this restaurant has no namecard, no contact number and no facebook. Their only marketing was word of mouth, either from patrons or bloggers. Still, many would come to pay a visit, so do come early.

it is small store near plaza faber. It sell mostly grilled food. Every table there will be grilled stove with charcoal inside for customer to grill food. We have ordered pork belly and pork shoulders. The grilled pork here is nice and tender. Maybe because it is using charcoal to grill. Besides, we also order pork ramen and japenese risotto. It is stewed rice with egg and savory soup. The tastes is special and nice.

The waiter recommended us the Genghis Khan which is some sort of stew which is made of lamb with vegetables. We had to barbeque the food ourselves, which is part of the fun. Furthermore, we get to choose how well the lamb was done, in which we have a colleague who cooked it to perfection.
The stew was filled with lamb goodness, mixed with the vegetables, it was perfect.
The lamb was tender, excellently marinated to bring out the flavour of the lamb.

After finishing this dish, we requested for more, as we could not have had enough of this.

I will definitely return to try other meat in the menu.

The waiters brought a flaming BBQ pit and set it upon our small table. It was a nice addition as the weather was feeling rather cold from the wind and rain.

The Genghis Khan arrived first. It was basically lamb marinated in sweet sauce and slightly peppered. The taste of the lamb was slightly gamey and personally I liked it even though it put off the others in my group. The vegetables were crunchy and I liked them dipped well in the sauce.

We opted to BBQ our own meats as it was more fun and we could easily pinpoint who was the worst cook in the group. Besides cooking your own meat, you can choose to have it medium or rare.

Over the many sessions we have had there our faves were the pork belly, pork shoulder and inside leg. The beef is also a must have. And needless to say order a plate of vegetables to BBQ too. BBQ onions and carrots are very yummy and sweet.

You can either opt to BBQ the food yourself or the friendly and attentive staff will gladly do it for you. Although I have a feeling many will prefer to cook themselves. Its kinda fun minus the cleaning up like what we have to do at home.

Opt for the Japanese Risotto if you crave carbohydrates.. It also acts as a filler. This dish arrives boiling hot. Quickly mix the egg mixture with the fluffy rice well and eat!

Another must have is Genghis Khan. A dish of its own with vegetables and lamb, you can eat this on its own or order a bowl of rice with it. This is also a good dish to have while waiting for your BBQ to cook especially when you have a big group of friends around.

And when you're done eating and would like to chill, enjoy the free flow of green tea and chat on over some edamame or even some cold intestines with what I call the magic chilli. Alternatively have some beer, Guinness or even sake!
