2nd visit OK Oct 05, 2013

Categories : Japanese | Restaurant

The first visit was great and we were spoiled with choices of toppings on top of their gyudon (beef don). It was indeed a pleasant visit that we came back for second time.

 
Trying something different from their usual gyudon to see if they can still excel in others.
Curry don was not like the usual japanese powdery non-spicy curry but type of curry from our own country which we don't like. Teriyaki udon with running egg was spoiled by the excessive kewpie japanese mayo. It was too sweet to go with the rice. Others were part of the sets.

Dinner OK Oct 05, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Chinese | Restaurant | Private Party

 
Very easy to spot this restaurant as it occupies one whole bungalow unit along Jalan Yap Kwan Seng.
However, parking unit is very limited, like 4-5 cars only.
So we parked at the parking space just behind, but being charged by the another restaurant that claimed the parking belong to them. Paid RM5.

 
Since we have 9 people, we demanded for private room.
(Minimum expenses is RM300)
These are all the decorations and furniture in our room.

 
Mango Kerabu -Large
We ordered one meat and one vegetarian, total RM67.80 for both.
Meat one definitely tasted better than the vegetarian one.
At first i thought only the ingredient inside is different, but no, the yam texture is different too.

 
Philippines Fried Eggplant -Small.
We ordered two as well, to cater for 9 people.
RM23.80 for both, RM11.90 each.
It is one of the must-try appetizer here.
More like eggplant with tempura/french fries style, then add a bit of sweet and spicy sauce.

 
Indonesian LaLa -Large.
Ordered 2 plates, total RM99.80 for both, RM49.90 each.
Yes, the lala is tasty, but not the big portion as large.
RM49.90 for this plate is expensive.
p.s: This is according to seasonal price, price not available in the menu.

 
Cencalok Prawn-Large.
Ordered 2 plates, RM177.80 for both, RM88.90 each.
Almost RM10 each prawn. Seriously???

 
Steam Seck Pan.
Ordered one, RM75.80.

 
1919 Homemade Tofu.
Ordered 2 plates, RM47.80 both, RM23.90 each.
This is another must try at 1919.
Tofu is so smooth and the vege besides not only for decoration, edible also.

Including rice for 8 people and tea, the bill came to us for RM662.85.
Bear in mind that the service charge of 5% alone costs us RM31.55.
That's an average of RM73.65 per person!
Such a rip-off!
We were all very shocked and never expected it to be such expensive.

Well, the service is good with friendly staff and cosy environment that feels like home.
Definitely not noisy, good place for gathering.
Feedback were asked and we said too salty for both visits.
If the environment is homey/old times oriented, please make the food less salty as mama's cooking as well?

Afternoon Tea OK Oct 05, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Multi-Cuisine | Café | Pizza/Pasta | Burgers / Sandwiches

This was my first time having afternoon tea!

 

 
The "Afternoon Tea for Two" includes:
- 3 Scones
- 2 Cups of Tea
- 2 Strawberry Chocolate Dip
- A Slice of Cake of Your Choice
- 3 Rosemary & Cheese Cookies
- 2 Duck Confit Tarts in Filo Pastry
- 2 Hand-rolled Chocolate Truffles
- 6 Assortment of Finger Sandwiches
for RM59.90++

 
I love this finger sandwich of egg and black caviar!

 
Duck Confit Tart in Filo Pastry
Like the texture of filo pastry, not so much for the duck confit.

 
Assortment of Finger Sandwiches
Never thought that there would be salmon in one of the sandwiches.

 
Hand-rolled Chocolate Truffles, Scones, Rosemary & Cheese Cookies
Cannot finish the chocolate truffles, the texture is too thick and too rich.

 
Macadamia Cheesecake topped with Crunchy Macadamia Nut Brittle & Caramel as cake of the choice

We did not expect the portion to be so big that both of us sat for 3 hours yet we cannot finish every single piece.
Well, at least we get to chat for 3 hours. tongue

I would say not many non-halal japanese restaurant in KL area especially one that is inside shopping center.

 
Fresh sashimi comes in good presentation

 
Yakitori Don (Grilled Skewer Chicken)
Comes in big portion with dragon fruit,honey drew, miso soup, pickles and fried gyoza.

 
Grilled Pork Belly with Enoki Mushroom
I would never say no to pork belly and this didn't disappoint me.

 
Buta Shogayaki ( Sliced pork with ginger sauce)
Thin sliced pork fried with ginger and onion, fragrant and flavourful.

 
Katsu Don
Crispy deep fried breaded pork in omelette with lots of onion.

 
Deep fried gyoza that filled with pork meat.

I have always liked vintage items but funny how Amcorp Mall, the one with flea market of collectibles and antiques had skipped my mind. Together with Jason, we explored this treasure land on a weekend and stopped by for lunch at Haeun Khon, a small restaurant on the third floor that deemed to serve one of the most affordable Korean food in town.

 

 

 
Kim Chi Jjikeh (Boiled Kim Chi Soup) 韩国泡菜汤 RM15.90
Isn’t kimchi a must whenever we go for Korean food? This came in generous portion of enoki mushrooms, tofu, glass noodle, chicken and napa cabbage.
To tell the truth, I only began to accept Kim Chi after the trip to Korea due to their perfect balance between spiciness, sourness and mild burning sensation. Unlike my other friends that commented on how this is the best Kimchi they had or how the flavor stood out from others, I couldn’t feel anything but the burning sensation on my throat that was so much stronger than the spiciness and sourness I could taste from this stew of fermented vegetables soup. I stopped after a few scoops and even Jason struggled to finish this off.

 
Side Dishes
of Kim Chi (Napa Cabbage), Dried Anchovies and Chilled Tofu with Diced Chilies
The side dishes are non-refillable which is against the norm of Korean restaurants. Still, the portion of main dish is big enough to ask for second helping of these side dishes.

 

 
SamGyeTang (Korean Ginseng Chicken) 参鸡汤 RM17.90 for half chicken
Another piping hot soup in stew: Ginseng, jujube (red date) and glutinous rice beneath the spring chicken. The chicken meat was tender enough to fall off the bone by its own and I must say for that instance, this tiny restaurant was filled with none other but fragrant of these herbs. It very much resembles Chinese herbal soup. I still miss the samgyetang I had back then of thick and creamy texture of chicken broth along with a small complimentary cup of insamju (ginseng wine). Yet, one can’t complain as that would easily cost double of what Haeun Khon offers.

In contrary with what others might think of the lack-of-smile service, I find them to be more or less friendly. Perhaps it was the after peak lunch hour of our visit. Haeun Khon is definitely one of the cheaper alternatives for Korean food but I doubt if it can be crowned the best.
