Hello! Hello!

Today, I am going to blog about Koyaku, a new Japanese restaurant located at the Faber Tower, Taman Desa.

Me and my family always seek for good Japanese restaurants, especially the ones nearby where we stay.

Glad that I managed to find one recently, which they just opened like 5-6 months ago.

Continue reading the post to know how great it is! #hehe

 
Koyaku located at the same location as previous well-known Japanese restaurant of "Ïkkyu".

Koyaku means "little house" in Japanese.

They offer authentic Japanese food with all fresh ingredients imported directly from Japan.

 
Say Hi to Robocon, who is standing right in front of the entrance waiting for you!

 
Koyaku emphasizing "no war"and "never ordinary" in terms of their interior design.

They have very unique in-house design which full of Japanese concept, whereby you will certainly feel like you have landed in Japan once you stepped into the restaurant.

 
The entire place used all kinds of eco-friendly, recycled, and crafted as their decoration materials, which has really stand out from the crowd.

 
Such as making the lamp with crafted wood.

 
Reused the Japanese fan as one of the decoration.

My childhood idol “Takuya Kimura"! #hehe

 
What's more! They even imported different kind of recycle carton boxes all the way from Japan as one of the wall decoration. It is also one of my favourite corner inside the restaurant.

 
Truly adore with their creative ideas!

 
Koyaku offers different dining areas to the customers, not only inside seating but you can also eat outside if you prefer.

If you coming alone, you can sit at the sushi bar to enjoy your alone time with your meals.If you come in a big group and would like some privacy, you can also book their small little rooms.

They have total three private rooms available.

 
Koyaku not only has different ala-carte menus, they also offers a special Omakase dining experience to the customer.

Omakase is a kind Japanese dining which you let the chef to tailor made your meal of that day.

The chef will prepare the special meal according to what he thinks is the best to serve on that day, what are the freshest ingredients, and also based on your personal taste preference, your budget and so on.

I was really blessed to have my first Omakase menu with Koyaku on that day!

 
The Omakase menu is all served on a plate like this; with three kinds of seaweed, shredded radish, 2 types of wasabi, and gari (ginger) in the middle.

Kisami Wasabi is the one on the right, which is the chopped wasabi; while the Dama Wasabi on the left is the minced type, which we usually have it in other Japanese restaurants.

I personally like the Kisami as I think it is less spicy as the minced one.

 
Ankimo (Monkfish liver) and sea-snail came as the appetizer, with sweet potato chips and fried onion as side dishes.

 
Followed by the first sashimi of Kampachi.

 
Aori Ika is one type of squid.

 
Salmon Belly with a firm texture, topped with Ikura.

 



Botan Ebi topped with Hokkaido Sea Urchin.

It's my first time eating raw prawn, couldn't believe it can be so fresh and tasty!

 
Shimaji looks a bit similar like Kampachi.

Yet, it is three times more expensive than Kampachi, also the meat is much more firm and oily than Kampachi.

 

 
Big piece of Scallop from Hokkaido.

The chef just torched the fresh scallop a bit and wrapped with the seaweed.

 
Bluefin Tuna is one of my favourite among the others.

The meat is so thick and firm to eat with the rice.

 
Salmon Aburi, is a sushi wrapped with avocado and topped with a piece of salmon.

 
I love egg but definitely not egg yolk.

This hard boiled egg replaced rice, Ikura and chopped wasabi with egg yolk is certainly increase your appetizer.

 
My another favourite of Soft Shell Crab wrap with Avocado topped with Ebiko

 
Unagi with Foie Grass is a deep fried seaweed skin served with Tonkaysu sauce.

It is definitely a big bomb after all!

 
The Omakase ended with Kyoho Grape.

So fresh! So sweet! It also has a kind of red wine taste!I was truly impressed with everything in Koyaku, not only their super quality food, but also the atmosphere they represented.

It is surely a very worth trial authentic Japanese restaurant for the Japanese cuisine lovers, right from the ambiance to the food!

I actually went back to Koyaku the next few days with my parents to try their Ala-Carte menu of Shake Atama Nabe, and Shima Aji Atama Nabe.

Glad that they both also like the food there, and my dad even said no doubt that they served very fresh food here!Koyaku Japanese Dining & Grill

The Crazy Bites @ Subang SS15 Smile Oct 05, 2015

Categories : Western variety | Restaurant | Pizza/Pasta | Burgers / Sandwiches

If a fast food chain store with just burger or fried chicken is a little boring to you, then you should check out The Crazy Bites, which just newly open in town.

The Crazy Bites is another fast food joint which provides more than just burger and fried chicken, it also offers variety of pasta, local delights, and pizza.

Happy enough?!?! #hehe

 

 
The Crazy Bites located at SS15, the most happening place for the college students.

You would not missed it out as it is at the big corner lot with two floors, plus the huge signboard with the pinky monster would definitely grab your attention. Pinky monster is waving and saying HI to you!

 

 
It is a no pork, no lard, and no alcohol restaurant whereby all their meats are sourced from Halal suppliers.

The restaurant has a similar fast food joint concept.

Customers will order and pay at the counter, and the food will be served to your table after 10-15 minutes.

 

 
The entire place is very clean, tidy and comfortable.

There are seats available at the ground floor, where you order your food, but also a more private area at the second floor.

I love the fun and colourful wall arts which I think it could cheer the customers up.

Also, the staffs at the restaurant are very helpful and friendly with the smiles all times.

 
Although the menu only has 2 pages, but it has many food choices like burger, pizza, pasta, local food, salad and choices of snacks.

Such menu is difficult for me as I have decidophobia. #lol

Anyway, let's take a look at all their signature dishes that they are specialized in!

 
Flamed Grilled Chicken Pasta @ RM12.80 is a carbonara spaghetti which comes with 2 pieces of boneless grilled chicken.

 
Clam Vongole @ RM12.80 with pretty big size and fresh clams on this dish.

 
Seafood Aglio Olio @ RM15.80, which is one of their signature pasta dish.

The chili flakes is a little bit spicy but confirm is bearable.

 
My most favourite, Lamb Kofta Pasta @ RM16.80 as the lamb is pretty juicy and well tendered.

If you also like lamb, you should try this out.

All the prices mentioned were in A La Carte portion, and you can add RM5 to get a free mocktail (non-alcoholic).

 
There are total 8 signature burgers avaiable at The Crazy Bites which #1 Ox Bites (Beef), #2 Pisces Bites (Fish), #3 Apple Mushroom Bites, #4 Egg Mushroom Bites, #5 Rooster Bites (Chicken) #6 Honolulu Ox Bites (Beef), #7 Goat Bites (Lamb), and #8 Teriyaki Rooster Bites (Chicken).

The A La Carte pricing for #1 till # 5 are @ RM13.80 and @ RM16.80 for #6 till #8.

 
If the A La Carte portion is not enough for you, you can add extra RM3 to get a combo set.

A combo set comes with sweet potato fries and any soft drinks that available.

It is quite special to serve the sweet potato fries, and I kinda like it because it is not as oily as the normal fries.

 
Local Delight with Thai Style Pineapple Fried Rice @ RM13.80

The sambal is sooo good although is a bit too spicy; yet it is so tempted to eat with the fried rice and fried chicken!

 




Another local dish that you can consider, Johan's Nasi Lemak @ RM13.80

To be frank, I pretty like the rice texture from both options as it is not sticky with slightly moist.

 
Next, let's move on to their pizza ranges with #1 Crazy Lamb Pizza, #2 Crazy Hawaiian Pizza, #3 Crazy Seafood Pizza.

The toppings are very filling and you would get to taste the toppings on your every bites as the crust is very thin and soft.

All A La Carte pizzas are @ RM14.80 and you have the soft drinks and sweet potato fries by adding additional RM3 only.

 
If you just want to have some snacks or small bites food, Crazy Bites also offers a big range for you!

Calamari Rings @ RM13.80 with a salad as side dish.

 
Chicken Honey @ RM14.80, comes with 6 pieces of boneless chicken.

 
Jacket potato @ RM13.80, with three baked cheese potatoes on a wooden pan.

 
And lastly, the Chicken Fire @ RM14.80.

If you can't take spicy at all, then you should think twice, or even triple before you order this! #superduperspicy

 

 
As for the drink choices, coffee, tea, chocolate, milkshakes, soft drinks, mocktail, fruit juices, they are all up to your choices!

 
The Crazy Bites is a great place to get together and enjoy variety of food and drink choices at reasonable price.

Do drop by, and visit this little pink monster in person!
The Crazy Bites, It's just incrazible!
