Review (2)
Thanks to The Butterfly Project Malaysia, I got the invitation to food review at Coco Ichibanya in One Utama!! I actually got quite excited because I have not trying Japanese cuisine for sometimes. I also didn't know that Curry Rice is one of the Japanese food. The front outlook of the restaurant. The location is quite hidden actually, it's in the new wing of One Utama, beside the Breadstory, you can easily reach here from the LG center concourse area in New Wing =DIt's beside the Bread Story o! Being a curry house, there are different level of spiciness too! Being a standard one , Level 1 (mild) to Level 5 (the most spicy one! ) Beef Yakiniku Curry Rm 23When this Beeft Yakiniku Curry first served on the table, I was not really impress with it. First because it apperance doesn't look appealing, however it end up this is the second dish I like the most! The standard curry is just a normal taste curry, in which if you are not a spicy person, you can opt for this. (Although I didnt know how they judge the standard of "standard", but it's milder or as mild as Level 1 spiciness.)The beef itself is tender, cut into thin strip, and stir-fried. Its delightly flavourful, and I like how they fried this with sesame! The overall of this dishes is just awesome!Would recommend you to pair with level 2 or above curry spiciness. The beef itself is delightful, but the curry is too mild for liking. Pork Cutlet Omelette Curry RM 26Pork Cuttlet Curry Rm 21This would be a more fulfilling dishes, as it has egg (protein) and big chunks of pork cutlet! Compare to other dishes, this one come with less surprise. It is still delicious,tender cutlet serving together with milk omelette that aim to keep you full. I focus more on the curry itself. Pairing with Level 1 spiciness. People who do not eat spicy at all could have try level 1. Wagyu Beef Steak Curry Rm 48Aside from a bit undercook, the beeft steak is tender, and it's the well seasoned. If you were a beef Lover, you can either opt for Wagyu Beef Steak or Beef Yakiniku!Creamed Mushroom Omelette Curry Pairing with Level 3 Spiciness, I drank water at the first try. I guess I would cough more, and feeling hot if I continue to consume more. Ironically, this appear to be my top favourite of the night. I knew this would be prefect of me by pairing with level 2 spiciness. However mushroom and creamy are great combo, I try to omit the curry while taking this. The curry would be too much for me to handle soon. The creamy mushroom remind me of carbonara. It is well-cooked, it remain juicy inside, without absorbing much of the creamy sauce outside, but the hot serving of it, in creamy & mushroom combo are just prefect. You get to try the juicy of mushroom and the creaminess at the same time, just oh-so-heaven. Grilled Squid with Mayonnaise Curry Rm 24Serving with Level 4 spiciness. I do not try this at all. For I already reaching the limit at Level 3. For those who like to goes up to this level, would advise you to get a cup of milk beside you =D Smoked Salmon Salad Rm 10I would definitely order this when I come here next time!! To be frank, I cant distinguish whether the salmon piece is smoked or not, but seeing the salmon on top of it, already trigger my desire to finish eat. The dressing was Goma (sesame sauce) Bacon and Pumpkin Salad Rm 8The bacon just perfectly smoked, tender and the pumpkin is soft.Considering the considerable amount of green vege, the about of bacon could be more. You can opt for Shoyu (Soysauce) or Goma (Sesame) sauce for this. On the day itself, we also get to try the drink of our choice. Strawberry Milkshake Rm 11Pineapple Juice Rm 9Strawberry Soda Rm 9I would go for Strawberry Soda which is a bit gas-y, because the Strawberry Milkshake is too icy-cold for me. Overall, it was a pleasant experience having dinner here. The food is delicious, and exquisite to some extend, price is standard.People, try your spiciness level here, and tell me which level that you can go. Other menu that I feel like want to eat1.Grilled Pork and Kimchi Curry Rm 202. Pork Shabu Curry RM 203.Japanese style mushroom spagetti Rm 194.

I am always a fan of Japanese food, even Japanese curry rice!I love the not-too-overloaded sweetness in the Japanese curry with appropriate level of spiciness.Do you know the Japanese use apple paste in their Japanese curry?That is why Japanese curry tastes lighter but not too bulky like other types of curry in Malaysia.I was invited to the grand launch of Coco ICHIBANYA, 1Utama along with other MHB members and the founder.I was among the first few to try their Japanese curry rice. This is a very new concept in Malaysia to have an outlet specially for Japanese curry rice.Guess what? Quite a number of people don't know about Japanese curry.I saw their puzzled looks when I mentioned "Japanese curry".MHB members - Yours truly, Kate Lee, Kelly Siew, Sharon Loh, Stephanie Lim.Supermodel Amber Chia. TV Host Gary Yap, Orange Ning and Julie Woon.CoCo ICHIBANYA’s tagline is “The tastiness you can choose” where you get to customise your meal based on your preference and appetite – from the spiciness level of the curry, to the various toppings, and even the amount of rice. There are 7 different levels of spiciness for the curry, starting from mild for kids, the signature original flavour, and from level one’s medium hot to level five’s “crazy hot”.There is a selection of over 30 meat and seafood varieties to choose from including chicken, beef, pork, prawns, clams and more, and some are paired with toppings such as egg, corn and croquettes. If you’d like more toppings just add-on what you want or if you want more/ less rice, simply order the amount that is right for you.On the menu are also some fusion items like spaghetti with curry meat sauce, curry gratin and curry pilaf, while for those who don’t eat spicy food there are also non-spicy options such as seafood spaghetti with cream, creamy corn soup and salads. Have some juices, coffee, teas, soft drinks, floats, milkshakes or even beer to go along with your meal and have a sweet ending with some Matcha or vanilla ice cream!------------------------------ Some of their signature dishes: Seafood Spaghetti RM22 Grilled Spinach, Bacon and Corn Curry RM20.00 *Signature Star dish* Pork Cutlet Omelette Curry RM26.00 There are 5 levels of spiciness available. I personally think level 3 is just nice for the aroma, spiciness and taste. The spiciness of level 3 does not overwhelm the aroma and taste of the Japanese curry gravy. For people who love to challenge the maximum spiciness can go for level 5. For people who can't take spicy food, you may stick to standard which is level 1 and enjoy the taste and aroma of Japanese curry. Fried fish curry RM25 Fried Chicken Curry RM20.00The chicken cutlets were crispy on the outside but tender on the inside.Perfectly accommodated the Japanese curry gravy. Coco ICHIBANYA serves more than what I posted. For full menu, please click HERE!The CoCo ICHIBANYA branch in 1 Utama seats a maximum of 65 persons in the 128 square meters restaurant which exudes a casual, friendly and unpretentious ambience. Folks in Penang, look out for the second outlet which will be opening in Queensbay Mall soon.I had a wonderful experience dining at Coco ICHIBANYA even though I was served with only few dishes but I will definitely going back for their Japanese omurice!I had my Japanese curry rice at Coco ICHIBANYA, have you?Yummy!*burp* *oopsy*CoCo ICHIBANYA is a non-halal establishment which serves pork and beer.CoCo ICHIBANYA is located at:Lot LG 333A, Lower Ground (New Wing),1 Utama Shopping Centre,Bandar Utama,47800 Petaling Jaya,Selangor.Telephone: 03-7732-8937Operating Hours: Daily from 10.00am to 10.00pmCoCo ICHIBANYA is a restaurant chain owned by Fuji Group, the company of Fuji Japanese Restaurant in Thailand, and for more information, head over to http://www.ichibanya.co.jp/english/index.html continue reading
