For more food reviews: www.amiehu.comAh, where do I even begin? I chanced upon The Replacement while getting lost (which happens pretty often unfortunately) and obviously, felt completely in my zone with the minimalist exterior.. I feel like I am stepping into a Kinfolk magazine. Literally. In an alternate universe, I might be. Of course, when I entered, I didn't know I was heading right into my new favourite cafe because I was starving and slightly angry for being lost.'For the wanderlust to rest between wanders', it reads. Right down my alley, this is the face of the cafe I would probably continuously head back.I had my usual - the mocha (RM11), as a lunchtime perk-me-up, which was unexpectedly very, very good. This part of town continuously surprises me. They use a blend of El Salvador, Brazilian, and Columbian coffee beans to create this baby, and guess what? When I returned a week and a half later, the baristas actually recognized me, note on my preference (I told them I didn't like it too sweet - the default is the mainstream version which is more palatable to all) and even remembered what I ordered the last time. And I get what I loved the first time, but even better. /Instant swoonThis is their menu which I mulled over - oh my goodness, I want EVERYTHING. But I guess there's plenty of return trips for me to try them out slowly one by one. I think they changed their menu recently again, but there is not a huge difference except for newer sauces for the churros.Churros original (RM12.90) included a dip of your choice - we went for dark chocolate ganache which was the classic one. There were other local spinoffs, such as gula melaka, but well, next time (seriously, this place makes me want to camp here and wait for my stomach to reset itself). Their churros, which are highly recommended by a few and themselves, were indeed hot and freshly fried, crispy and crunchy all at once, and the interior is incredibly soft too. The dark chocolate was premium and satisfyingly bitter in a good way.Berries Compote French Toast (RM17.90) doesn't look like what it's supposed to be, but what the hell, it was delicious anyway with all the ingredients in there made for success. Buttery, warm and fluffy on the inside of the 'bread', its texture really feels more like cake. Accompanied with cinnamon powder, sweet and sour notes from the berries compote, maple syrup and vanilla bean ice-cream, it was a wonderful pick indeed. This cafe strikes a chord with me somewhere, especially because it is always not jam-packed like most Singapore cafes, its service is much more personal (it feels so good to have the barista remember my choice by memory), extremely photogenic, and their food is pretty awesome as well. On this street, The Replacement is the place to go.

如果说日本美食只限制在于寿司，刺身，那就对日本太过于不公平了。其实日本对于食物非常讲究，除了口味要好之外，不管是呈现，食物的食材等等，都是要顶级的。喜欢日本文化的人应该都懂这点。

今天呢，要分享的是一个比较特别的，就是只专门卖“鸡肉” 的日本美食说实在的我真的没试过类似日本“鸡” 只料理。日前碰巧得到Openrice的邀约，才有机会到来这家 鶏鬨Yakitori Toridoki

那要开始吃前，先跟大家说说什么是 Yakitori 吧.

Yakitori 其实就是日本闻名的串烧烤肉。利用“Kushi"也就是日本串的意思，采用铁，竹枝或其他的把鸡肉都给串上，然后在火炭上考，有点类似我们的BBQ感觉。

不过都说了，他们对食物很讲究，我们平时BBQ只用鸡翼，看看他们用什么吧？ momo (もも), chicken thigh
"negima" (ねぎま), chicken and spring onion
tsukune (つくね), chicken meatballs
(tori)kawa ((とり)かわ), chicken skin, grilled until crispy
tebasaki (手羽先), chicken wing
bonjiri (ぼんじり), chicken tail
shiro (シロ), chicken small intestines
nankotsu (なんこつ), chicken cartilage
hāto / hatsu (ハート / ハツ) or kokoro (こころ), chicken heart
rebā (レバー), liver
sunagimo (砂肝) or zuri (ずり), chicken gizzard
toriniku (鶏肉), all white meat on skewer
yotsumi (四つ身), pieces of chicken breast

从鸡皮，鸡肝到鸡肠。。。他们一点都不浪费。唯一没出现的就是鸡脚～一步入宁静的Yakitori Toridoki 后，坐着一下，就有了这个Potato Salad给我们。我们有点惊讶，这我们没点啊！啊，原来每一位顾客都可以得到免费的Potato Salad 这样开胃菜哦～～

经过了一番塞车的折腾，又一晚食物急速送到，心里倍感温暖啊～～加分了！

日本人就这么体贴啊！当然要开始吃肉前是不是也要来个开胃”菜“ 啊？这里的服务员都身穿日本袍，为我们呈上这个需要加 "cheddar cheese" 的 Konsai Salad.Konsai Salad 是用不同蔬菜结合，有金瓜，木薯 等等， 刚烫过的蔬菜热热的，cheddar cheese 一撒上去，马上就融化其中，再加上一些酱料的结合，这个口感真的很棒啊！ 很值得一试，价钱 RM18.Teba Age 鸡翼 RM10 一点都不普通，我们常常吃到的是利用蜜糖来腌制。这个呢有咸中带天，绝对不是用蜜糖而是利用特制Shoyu 来腌制～这道Sunagimo Ahijyo RM18 就特别啦～看到那褐色的吗？

呵呵，那就是鸡肝啦！！里面好多块鸡肝哦！而且是要配烤面包吃的～虽然我有点接受不到鸡肝，不过男友超喜欢～他说味道好特别。Maruyaki RM45 外脆内扎实，虽然看似普通，但它是经过健康的材料如日本芝麻油和竹盐腌制过夜的，然后再利用从日本进口的机器把鸡烤得恰到好处！啊～～一把剪刀下去，那只鸡就四分五裂了～～过程太快了我最喜欢的鸡胸肉！再搭配特制的酱料，今晚我敢说没白来了！蛤～～你看我对什么傻笑了？就是传说中的 yakitori 出来啦！耶！Tsukune RM11 也是当晚我最喜欢的。一拿起来就是扎实厚厚的混合鸡肉，加入罗勒不同的日本酱料调味，味感超级棒。要下去就有一种不同的口感，然后有一些些的焦味，嗯！！Yakitori Negima RM5 ，鸡腿加日本韭葱，每一口一定要吧韭葱也咬上，这样才不会对不起这道料理，因为他们是分不开的，咬下去还会有咔咔声呢！Yakitori Toridoki RM 8, 给热爱鸡腿及鸡胸爱好者。 有没好奇为什么每个形状都很好看，原来是鸡肉经过挑选后，再用鸡皮包上～特别吧？我吃过那么多Onigiri，就是没尝过这个 里面有 cheese 的切开后cheese都流了出来，哇～～而且onigiri是烤的耶！Cheese Yaki Onigiri RM12吃到满肚子鸡后，我真的要投降了～～

不过老板说，特地给我们留了这个Houjicha Pudding RM10. 原来这个每天只限量弄一百个。

吃了第一口后，突然觉得这个很珍贵，因为实在太美味了！！！吃到那么多甜品，这个绝对会容纳我最爱的top list里。话说问老板为什么那么好吃，原来这个布丁是加了日本上等的绿茶Houjicha,除了茶香味飘着之外，我就快要融化在那淡淡甜滋滋的感觉。

突然就问老板说，我可以不可以再来一个啊？

老板说我吃的是最后一个了。。。怎么这样啊？ 为什么不早说？! *呜呜*

特别推荐这家Yakitori Toridoki因为厨师都是必须到日本训练一段时间才可以在这里烹煮这些食物。而且材料都是只用日本运来的～～

所以我们当晚吃到的，可以说是真正的日本料理了呀！感动到～～Yakitori Toridoki

Love the Torii Fried rice which had the foie gras,herbs and garlic chips. super flavourful and tasty. this was called the soft shell crab salad. wished that they could give more salad dressing instead. this was one of the specialty from them, its called the Chicken Bomb,its esentially chicken with sweet bbq sauce dunked in raw egg yolk. it was such a good combination on a whole!there were complimentary ice cream as well: lavender, green tea,vanilla and chocolate flavoursthis was one of the specialty from them, its called the Chicken Bomb,its esentially chicken with sweet bbq sauce dunked in raw egg yolk. it was such a good combination on a whole! 

during the tea time period,my first time spend a time at here quite long because it is really too too peak ,many people at there choose the break and the small desert at there,here got 2 floor,but 1 of my friend is finding the place to seat down and me is finding what dessert need to eat.unfortunately,my friend using almost 20mins to find a place to seat and i choose the bread ,it is too many choices.make me also dont know what should eat,so i choose some..
GOSH... even finish selected all the food,but need "Q" up long and it take my 15mins ,it have to pay first then you can enjoy your food really many people lah~~why....

but when i eat the chocolate crossiant ,it is really taste different,it is soft and inside got abit sweet,not too sweet.erm...very value to wait it,that why so many people willing to take long time at here to dining .and the decor for it also nice too.finally i also feel value to wait la~haha...

Loving this place!!! Price reasonable and delicious food.  But should improve in service. Should try butter chicken rice, grandmother fried rice, spaghetti with drumstick, boxing wings, chicken chop, NASI LEMAK(super good with rendang chicken), malak ramen, zha cheong ramen etc. Value for money. Very crowded during lunch and dinner time. But should improve in toilet cleanliness.
