Being a wheat person, there is a sense of happiness the first time I’ve tasted Kita no Zen‘s omu fried rice. Newly open this year, this restaurant is just above the escalator in the middle wing of The Gardens. What is so special with this omu thingy? Well, this is certainly one dish you can’t get in any other Japanese restaurants.

Ordinary yes, rice was fried with ketchup and all covered with egg and mayonnaise. Although the description is sounds like our local ‘nasi goreng pattaya’, this omu is so smooth that I feel like swallowing my meal. It is light and fried egg has cheese in it. Together with the mayo, it tasted superb!Omu Rice (RM13.00). Love it! Portion is just nice for ladies.Miso Hotate Ramen (RM16.80) is full of big fat hotate. Not short-changing you for sure.Ice chill dessert from Hokkaido, Macha Crepe (RM9.80). This green tea delight is not too sweet, another must try!

The place is good for office dinner as it cater private sections with more seats. Zen ambience with open kitchen concept, there are hidden lights along the bar seats(with no rotating sushi) and fun sofa seats if you prefer a modern approach.

Devi's Corner is a great place to hang out with your work mates for a heavy vegan lunch. Their specialty - the Banana Leaf Rice is a celebration of rice and curry, all you can eat for RM7. Once seated, we were given a piece of banana leaf each. Rice and water is on the house, and there are 4 types of curries to chose from - curry fish, mutton, prawn and dal. The staffs will come along to fill up the leafs with veggie dishes - cabbage, pumpkin, fried bitter gourd, yogurt cucumber and greens. We end our meal with all the papadum we can take and it was always a satisfied one with a refill of dishes at anytime (leaf folded upwards ).
