It seems that I have tried all the food in Times Square and ran out of places to go today. After taking a round the place for 15 minutes, finally it was decided that Sopoong be it since there seemed to be quite a number of people there. The food is also halal. At the end of the meal, we realized that the owner is Korean.

We ordered the Kimchi Jeongol (Beef) Dubukku Hotpot at RM 38.90 which came with a lot of variety of Dubukku, rice cake, sausages, Kimchi cabbages, spring onions, tofu, straw mushrooms, Korean beancurd etc. The soup is just nice, and not too salty like what people usually do. There was also so much beef inside. 

The Korean Rice Tea (RM 5.90) was served cold  with ginger inside. 

I would definitely make a comeback here for the dubukku. 

We chanced upon this in a blog and also last night when we were having supper in Kuchai Lama area. When we reached here on Sunday night, the place was brimming with so many people and they even had to wait for a table. Luckily someone just got off their table so we needn't wait for long. 

We ordered the best Fettucine Steak (RM 18.90) with red wine infused inside. The fettucine was well done and the thinly sliced steak a little towards medium rare. The taste of the sauce cooked with small cubes of carrots and also potatoes were  amazing. The fat fettucine were perfectly integrated with the sauce. 

The Fettucine Lamb Japanese Curry (RM 16.90) was so delicious. The curry was unlike the powdery version I tasted in Japanese restaurants. The fettucine was nicely and thickly and completely coated with the curry. There were also carrot and potato cubes cooked together with the sauce. The lamb is also so tender and tasty and not smelly.

The iced cubed Signature Basil (RM 7) with small bottle of soda was the best I have ever drank and the cheapest compared to places like Coffee Stain and also Coffee Societe at Publika. The basil was so fragrant and the drink totally refreshing. 

The iced cubes containing Berry Strawberries (RM 7) was equally tasty. Perfecto! 

The dessert is the best here and very affordable which explains the big crowd here. The Mille Feuille (RM 14.90) was five star dessert at a 2 star price, meaning affordable fine dining. These types of desserts usually costs at least RM 30-40 in other places. The mille is paper thin and coated with champagne. In between, it was sandwiched by fresh slices of strawberries and grapes. There is chocolate sauce on the plate. 

The bottled iced green tea matcha (RM 9.90) is incredible. It was very thick and tasty even when I brought it to office. 

The Chocolate Mousse (RM 5.90) is the best in the world, rich, sinful and with 3 small marshmallows inside. I am not a fan of mousse but this, is excusable. 

Alright the food is so tasty that I even went to the open kitchen to praise the chef. Despite the open kitchen, the place is not smoky at all. 

There is so much variety in the menu till I felt like ordering everything. Definitely making a comeback with my family. 

The ambience is perfect and cosy. Very comfortable seating for waiting for table. 

The most unique thing is that there is big range of hand soap to choose from, of all flavours from lavender to peach, lemon citrus etc so much so that I kept washing my hands. 

Presentation: 10/10
Price: 10/10 
Taste: 10/10

This is a very busy place. I chanced upon it in some blogs. This place is completely, originall Japanese. Never have we been to a Japanese restaurant in the whole Malaysia where the chef and more so, waitresses are also Japanese! Imagine how it feels with cute kawaii Japanese waitresses serving you? 

You feel like you are in restaurant in Japan where there are Japanese everywhere from the chef, waitresses to the Japanese customers who come here due to the authencity. There is smoke of BBQ everywhere too. 

We ordered the giant squid that cost RM 25. It was the best giant squid I have ever eaten. It was soft and springy and nicely barbequed. It was brushed with sake before cooking hence the great taste. 

The Alaskan Mackerel (about RM 25++) was amazing but a tad too salty for me. Probably they have put too much salt when marinating. The flesh was very tender and soft. The waitress almost fainted when my friend split the fish into half as probably it is taboo to do so.

We regretted ordering the expensive tempura (RM 35) which was too soggy and not as crispy as I thought it would be. 

The Salmon Okomoyaki (RM 15) was quite ok but the salmon is very little inside. 

I love the Passionfruit alcoholic drink (RM 16) which so tasty and had a slight alcoholic taste. 

We were planning to have lunch at Topshelve but finally we ended up eating here since it was closed for Deepavali. 

I first went into Mukha to survey it and fell in love with the fittings and interior. I returned to the place and ordered the Aussie Lamb (RM30) which I initially intented to cancel due to worry of the large portion since the greedy part of me wanted to try the cakes there. 

Thank god I did not cancel the lamb because it is the best I have ever tried in my entire life. The meat was so tender and for the first time in life, I sacrificed my diet and ate all the fats as it was so fragrant as it was infused with honey so much that the whole thing tasted of honey. Normally when people marinate with honey, one can hardly taste the honey. I praised the chef personally. The grilled potato cubes and carrots and sweet pumpkins were the most amazing I have ever tried. 

The Kofta Meatball (RM 16) was the best I have tried. Seriously, I never really liked  meatballs but these were amazing. The meatballs were soft and small compared to the normal ones. It costs just RM 1 extra to add in spaghetti. It was served with tomato and basil sauce. Totally meatball heaven like one cartoon, called "Meatball."

Now it comes to the coffee review. The Gahwa (RM 9) is Mukha's very own blend of coffee, or would I say, very unique experience of drinking coffee. When it arrived, the chinese-styled teapot and teacups made me think they got my order wrongly and I even questioned the waiter twice. The strangest thing is that the coffee is blended with ginger! 

Shahi (RM 10) is Arabian tea boiled with mint leaves. The good thing is that bitterness of the tea is retained. 

The Hazelnut Torie (RM 10) is fantastic. The chocolate cake is so soft. The best part is the chocolate on top with a big hazelnut inside. It was also the last piece in the fridge! I was too late for the peanut butter pie as I was undecided on what to order. The cakes were freshly made there compared to those commercial franchises out there. I so wanted to taste Pavlova but the cream and sugar deterred me. 

The prices of food here is very reasonable as most items cost less than RM 20 except for the Aussie Lamb. 

The ambience is incredible, very quiet and suitable for hangouts, gatherings, reunions and family outings. Halal is also in the shots. 

It was raining so heavily and since by the time we reached here, it was too late to watch my movie at AEON Jusco Kepong, so went to Dining Hall in Manjalara. The place is superb as there were so many framed motivational words on the wall. The owner is probably Christian as those words talk about god too. 

My friend ordered the carbonara which is super cheesy. There were 2 thin slices of bacon and supposedly a bull's eye egg but my friend said he did not want it. The carbonara is very thick and creamy and cheesy so many carbonara fans would like the way they cook it here. 

He also ordered a mixed combo sausage from different meat like pork, chicken and all sorts. Just normal to me as I am not a fan of sausage. We were too full to eat them and could not provide a fair review. 

I ordered the Mushroom Soup (9.90) which was amazing. It was very original and one could see the bits of mushrooms which were still visible. It entirely felt like blending the whole mushroom to make the soup. 

The Cucumber juice with honey was fantastic. I am a fan of cucumber juice and this was is just great and more importantly, as pure as real cucumber. 

The Red Wine Lamb Shank was finely roasted. Although my tongue or sense was not strong enough to detect the red wine or the red wine was not marinated enough to be infused into the chicken, the lamb is amazing. It was tender but not too soft like the lamb shank at Secret Recipe which was more similar to lamb stew. I felt that the price was well-worth the food here. 

I am definitely making a comeback here for the lamb shank as I love lamb shank a lot.
