Since opening in last May, Palace Kitchen has been a
favourite dining place especially for family occasion since it’s located in the
vicinity of Shamelin neighbourhood.Diners could expect a sumptuous array of honest homey food
deliciously dished up by Paul, together with his compatriot of none other than
his beloved mom. Paul is seen as a lively and resourceful chap who has had a
fair share of culinary travel experience, from France, Singapore than to the
current place that he calls hometown, Malaysia.The restaurant boast a clean and comfortable dining
environment and is also brightly lit, which projects a neat and tidy interior,
as contrary to what you would have seen in other usual Chinese neighborhood
restaurants which at times could be tad laid back and facilely decorated. Nutritious home-boiled Chinese ‘leong
shui’ (aka tonic drink) to cool off the body.

Diners are assured of healthy drinks
as Paul insisted to freshly prepare those beverages every morning without any flavor
enhancers and the varieties would rotate on different days. The one that we had
that evening was from the mixture of ‘luo han guo’ or more commonly known as
monk fruit. Ensue next were the deliciously and
freshly woofed up dishes from the stove of Palace Kitchen.

FRY SPICY MINCED MEAT WITH TOFU AND PUMPKIN SAUCE (MYR 15)

Indeed an alluring golden plate of
silken tofu, gracefully doused with homemade pumpkin accompanied by the
specially made minced meat to add flavours. I personally find that meaty bites
are very chunky and full of flavor, not too spicy but rich in spice aroma that
certainly spice up the overall dish. It easily goes well with a plate of hot,
white rice.MINCED
MEAT WITH BRINJAL and HOMEMADE FISH PASTE (MYR 15)

Another plate that comes with the ‘secret weapon’;
minced meat that is very savoury and moister as compared to the spicily fried
version with the bean curd earlier. Taste
wise, this claypot dish is much more robust in flavor, where the homemade sweet
fish paste (‘yu wat’) is enhanced with stronger flavor by the minced meat and
also brinjals that have done a good job by absorbing the sauce essence, making
it a pleasant comfort food that needs not further additional sauces to go with.PAUL STYLE PORK RIBS (MYR 25)

Paul’s interpretation of braised
pork ribs. Tender and juicy from the inside out while blending in with some Chinese
herbs gravy and house special recipe. Nicely glazed visually and having a
slightly different nuance from the mass- the pork meat has a mild chewier
texture rather than those Western recipes which prone to ‘melt-in-the-mouth’
texture. Something interesting from this Oriental cook I would say (=SIGNATURE ASAM (MYR 31)

Steamed Bonito Fish Head (‘song yu’) using home blend paste
of tart-spicy Asam paste and garnished with mint leaves. The fish was
generously served and deemed reasonably priced, looking at the huge portion.
Red asam paste was thankfully not too spicy and rather mild but full of herbs
fragrance, with some gingery kicks too. I wouldn’t mind if it’s slightly more
sour to whet the palate appetizingly, hehe.HONG KEE STYLE DACE FISH FRY (MYR 14)

Finally a
veggie plate to greet out table and sorta balanced out the meaty feast earlier
(=It’s the
homey fried dace fish with black beans served alongside some chili padi atop
crisp lettuce. This dish need not much flavoring as the brininess from the dace
fish is sufficient to add flavours and
complement the stir-fried leafy greens delectably.Overall, I find
Palace Kitchen Restaurant a cozy place for family dining as well as enjoying
meal with friends alike over sumptuous Chinese cuisine. It may not be that posh
or opulently executed, but definitely serves up a homey grubs that are added
with love and passion in it, plus, most of the sauces and relish are inhouse
made albeit it can be time consuming. Do have a try!

Step

into Mizukawa Japanese Restaurant and be ready to be greeted with

its comfy-centric environment, suitable for both casual hang out as well as a perfect

venue for family dining.Gracing

the avenue of IOI Boulevard in Puchong, Mizukawa has been whetting the palate

of nearby folks for over 3 months now, offering a promising myriad of Japanese

delights to tantalize your taste buds discerningly. Diners could browse

patiently from the wide choices before deciding on those that intrigue you the

most, from appetizers, salad, sashimi, nigiri sushi, aburi mentai sushi, maki

sushi, yakimono, agemono, kushiyaki, donburi, sukiya buffet, kaminabe, udon

pasta, to teishoku, as well as the latest addition of new menu; ramen.Sign up as member to enjoy more saving! While stock last...And

to our utter surprise, the ramen served here is one noteworthy dish worth

exploring further with various toppings to go with (before it gets overshadowed

by the other delish Japanese fares that we shall share later, hehe).The noodles

come especially springy and slurpy, and not easily get soggy in the soup when

diners get too carried away with their chatting and camaraderie at times. Truly

remarkable and highly recommend it.Currently

it’s available in set, comes with complementing fish cakes, salad and fruits

sides eachRefreshing

salad that comes with wafu and mayo dressing, besides crispy bites

of fish cakes addictively.For

the Original Ramen Set, we have the best of both worlds; original soup and spicy

version.CHICKEN BBQ RAMEN (17.90)

Love

the tender and nicely rolled up meat, adequately marinated before slowly braised

in special sauce to amuse your taste buds. Soup is very flavourful that is

subtlely enhanced with sweetness from long hours boiling of chicken and fish

bones. We personally enjoy this set very much, no wonder it’s also a popular

choice among diners, the best-seller according to Shawn, the owner of Mizukawa.SPICY SEAFOOD RAMEN (MYR 18.90)

For

those who prefer some spicy kick in their ramen bowl, then this seafood ramen

in spicy broth comes ideally inviting. Comprising of oceanic wonders like

salmon, squids and prawns, all flavoured up in the spiced soup prepared with

special inhouse blend of chili powder, it makes up an appetizingly aromatic

dish that is not overly spicy, so foodies with faint tongue could also enjoy

this delish ramen as well. UNAGI TOFU SALAD (MYR 30.80)

Premium

river eel layered atop silky beancurd with mayonnaise and sesame dressing.Enjoy

each mouthful helping of the saporous unagi slice that has been thoroughly

glazed and served with salad in wafu sauce and in house prepared goma sauce, even

soya sauce too.SASHIMI 5 TEN MORI (MYR 68.80)

Callin’

out to sashimi buff!

Relish

in the colorfully fresh combination of almon, maguro, hamachi, shiro maguro and salmon toro. Bounteous sashimi cuts are munificently served

to satisfy your craving for these Japanese quintessential delights.The salmon literally melts

in your mouth!MIZUKAWA SPECIAL ROLL SUSHI (MYR 22.80)

California

roll made in the unconventional way by dishing it up on a plate with special

bake cream, shrimp roe and sweet sauce. We must say that this is a

fantastic idea to both palatably and visually that tempts us with the idea of

totally forgetting about the usual conical roll moving forward. Not only it’s

conveniently consumed, but also wonderfully toothsome!IKA MARUYAKI (MYR 18.90)

For

the yakimono, we heed with Shawn’s suggestion of trying the

specially grilled whole squid with homemade teriyaki sauce. The

decision is proven right when relishing in the enticing chewy bites of the

perfectly grilled Japanese squid with the unique savory sauce that is sapid but

not as overpowering sweet as commonly encountered in mass commercial

production.MISAKI HOTATE YAKI (MYR 23.90)

Another

superb rendition of baked scallop with cream sauce, laces of sweet crab meat

and shrimp roe for the utmost seafood delectation.CREAMY KAKI YAKI (MYR 18.90)

Innovatively

house crafted baked oyster that has been lightly breaded and speedily deep

fried beforehand, and then drizzled with bake cream sauce, shrimp roe

and seaweed. Like the idea of the earlier handling of the oyster by first

frying it up to get rid of any unpleasant seawater taste and to give a tangy contrast

in texture.KINOKO BUTTER (MYR 15.90)

Mushroom

fans like me would be thrilled over this homey and yummy fragrantly cooked

dish- assortment of mixed mushrooms with butter and bonito flakes.

Slimply awesome and thumbs up!Now

who don’t love kushiyaki? Just how the Japanese love their fave street

food freshly grilled till perfection while retaining the juice!YAKITORI (MYR 12.90)

Succulent

cubes of skewered grilled chicken meat. Guests could actually

request and check with Shawn whether their choice of kushiyaki sticks could be

done according to personal taste preference- in this case, I have it shio yaki-

grilled with salt rather than as suggested in the menu. Yum!IKA GESSO KUSHI (MYR 17.90)

Diners

shouldn’t miss this cutely skewered grilled squid head that is plainly

winning with its chunky bite-sized and delicious glaze. Caveat be told, you

would tend to get hooked on to it for more! (=Rather than ending every

meal from The Land of Rising Sun with matcha gelato by default, why not give

some citrusy sorbet a try?Add caption

SORBET (MYR 10.50 each)

Mango

Orange- a hit among regularsCoconut

made with pandan (screwpine)Overall, the array of

Japanese food that is served at Mizukawa promises a mouthwatering affair and

patrons get to enjoy the spread within a cozy and soothing environment. Menu

featured are interestingly appealing and delicious for Shawn really emphasizes

only freshest ingredients are served, otherwise withdrawn, and insist to make

most of the sauce inhouse for a spectacular dining experience at Mizukawa. Do

remember to check it out soon guys!

Japanese
restaurants are a dime a dozen in most vicinities now. And what makes Bonbori Japanese Cuisine stands the test
of time is their very reasonably priced freshly shipped in sashimi cuts served
in a comparatively generous portion, not forgetting their homey dishes that are
cooked with inhouse crafted sauces made from scratch, absolutely no rooms for
preservatives. Guess that could be another prime reason why it’s a hit
especially among family diners.Bonbori
Japanese Cuisine first greeted foodies in 2013 to cater to the perpetual demand
of the discerning taste bud of Klang Valley folks for fresh sashimi-sushi and
healthy Japanese dishes. Occupying first floor of SetiaWalk in Puchong facing
the beautiful fountain, Bonbori menu is gladly extensive ranging from a smorgasbord
of sashimi, sushi, grilled seafood, soupy recipes and more, all prepared hot
from the kitchen by seasoned skillful chefs.Comfortable
wooden tables and brightly lit dining environment are awaiting guests to come
and have a sumptuous feast joyously, be it business meetings, family dinners or
casual gathering with epicureans alike.EDAMAME
(MYR 7.90) as appetizer.UNAGI
TOFU (MYR 8.90)

Deep
fried tofu topped with grilled eel and omelette, makes a relatively
healthy starter. A simply comforting fare that showcases a harmonious composition.Sashimi lover will be glad
to learn that Bonbori would present the much anticipated sashimi platter beautifully
and as lovely as it would feed into your social media, consisting of assorted
fresh cuts that includes belly, sea urchin and many more. This dish is one meant
to be savoured fast and quick before the ice melts to lock that
melt-in-your-mouth nuance.Tuna belly are really fresh! It literally meltsBONBORI

UNI
SASHIMI (MYR 60- ¼ TRAY | MYR 110-1/12 TRAY | MYR 200- 1 TRAY)DINOSAUR
MAKI (MYR 21.90- 5pcs)

Sesame
roll topped with fried soft shell crab and salmon roe. Soft within but crispy
on the outside that tantalizes your palate effortlessly.ABURI
SALMON MAKI (MYR 14.90- 5pcs)

Salmon
roll topped with mentaimayo and goma sauce.They made most of the
sauces including goma sauce, teriyaki and soya sauce too.

Bonbori’s goma sauce is rather
special as it’s added with some black sesame which is not a common version
elsewhere. This injection has further accentuated the aroma of the sesame itself;
hence expect stronger character in taste.Another delicately
elaborated morsel, Special Ebiko Maki with Aburi Salmom and Ikura.Ensued
shortly is the Nimono, stewed dishes to warm the cockles of your heart lusciously.

SHAKE
ATAMA MISO SOUP (MYR 26.90)

Miso
soup with salmon headThe miso paste which is
also inhouse calibrated lends a lighter tone but equally tastefully gratifying.
Love how each strands of enoki mushroom is moistened up with the sweetness from
the soup. Essentially a noteworthy passionately cooked to titillate you
sensuously. No wonder it’s also a popular plate that you could see almost at
every table. The diners merely like it and it’s very easy to go with a bowl of
white rice too. Double thumbs up!We were really full to the brim when this gemütlich cuisine came greeting us. Nevertheless, the temptation was hard to resist and had us clear the bowl clean too. That means a leisure stroll after the delightful fête is utterly a must! (=All in all, my decision to
be back again after maiden visit previously proved to be a wise and culinary
rewarding one. Cognoscente with a palate for the orient feast on flavours from the Land of the
Rising Sun should really give this humble establishment a try! Most
likely, you’ll be hooked on for regular returns.

PIZZA (MYR25)

An inventive and playful tweak to

the ubiquitous durian dessert. Mixing into a fine and pleasantly pungent paste

of Musang King and Red Prawn (locally call it as ‘ang heh’), they both made a

delightful base for the pizza dough, slightly enhanced with parmesan and

mozzarella cheese to present you simplicity at its best.All in all, I really love their thinly

baked crispy crust! Just can’t have enough of it!Even till the end of the review

session, my mind and palate are still lingering around the smacking-good of the

What
drawn me to Jollibean initially is
the fact that, I finally found a place where I could enjoy a healthful and
freshly made ‘taufufa’ without the usage of gypsum, or more commonly known
among Chinese as ‘sek ko fun’.The petite kiosk
embarking on an ‘All-in-one Drink and Snack’ concept store
is originated from Singapore and local folks here could now locate it conveniently
at the Lower Ground of Berjaya Times Square.Jollibean
uses only the best quality Canadian ‘Hellum’ Soya beans that are prepared fresh
on demand with the help of specially designed machines, to extract 100% natural
servings of soya milk in every cup as freshness is never compromised.GINGER SOY MILK (MYR 5.30)

Never been so warm and
satisfying by having it hot. It’s good for the body immunity system too.For the Freeze Iced
Blended Station, we tried………

J-SPECIAL SOY FREEZE (MYR 8.50)

It’s actually a mixture of
matcha soyfreeze with Japanese Azuki Red Beans over soy milk.All food are jolli-fully made
from pure and natural state, without the involvement of any flavoring
nor preservatives. Hence customers could enjoy their meal worry free yet
ensuring optimum daily diet intake. To complement the soya milk, a fast vanishing
local snack is also incorporated to make it a wholesome affair- Pancakes (widely known in Singapore as Mee Chiang Kueh but fondly
known to us here as Apam Balik, Ban Chiang Kueh or Jollipancake, as given by
the joyful gnomes of Jollibean.Indeed, the pancakes are
fluffily thick but soft, but somewhat denser than the usual one you seen in
Penang or KL. Best eaten warm and currently, there are 4 flavours to choose
from.

APAM BALIK PANDAN GREEN BEAN (MYR 2.50)APAM BALIK PINEAPPLE (MYR 2.50)

A rather unique filling
that closely resembles those familiar companion for your yummy pineapple tart. Thankfully,
it’s not too sugary sweet as it’s homemade. Yum!APAM BALIK PEANUT (MYR 2)

Love it the most! (=Or MINI ROLLS of mixed flavours (MYR
5.30- BOX OF 6 PCS)If you are up for some
light snacks, then fix your craving by trying out the nearly ethereally light
crepe bites that gonna get you hooked on for more. Peanuts filling in
particular, is the crème de la cream among all due to the fragrant and aromatic
nutty bites of the coarsely crushed groundnuts. No wonder it’s also the fave of
Vincent Tan, the person who brought in
this brand to Malaysia for the love of this oriental crepe after trying it out
for the first time during his visit to Singapore previously. Each circular
crepe need at least 20 minutes to be prepared as it involved some ‘secret trade’
skills to prepare it crisply which allows it to be kept fresh yet still crunchy
up to a week, wow!



Stay crisp pancake which
comes in different fillings. Again, the peanut is simply stellar!

CHICKEN FLOSS (MYR 2.60 FOR 1PC | MYR FOR 13 PCS)

RED BEAN (MYR 2)

PEANUT (MYR 2)

You called it Tau Fu Fa,
they loved it as Soy Beancurd (=

Freshly made daily using
Grade A, non-GMO, Identity Preserved (IP) Canadian Soy Beans

For the Jolli bowl of tau
fu fah, enjoy it the classic way or with some tinge of sugar.

GULA MELAKA (MYR 3.70)New Item!JOLLI CHENDOL (MYR 5.90)

Choice of grass jelly or
red beanSome
cooling desserts to tantalize you further!For the Jolli Pudding
range, customers could opt from 4 flavours.

Among them, the almond
bowl warms the cockles of my heart best with its subtle hint of almond taste
that is pleasantly soothing, and their classic comes after that. It’s so light
and silken that if you are being not so careful, you would end up slurping in a
big chunk of the delicate pudding at one go, haha. CLASSIC (MYR 4.20)MATCHA (MYR 5.30)CHOCOLATE (MYR 5.30)ALMOND (MYR 5.30)It is said that with just
2 glasses of Jollibean soy milk a day, your daily calcium requirement is
fulfilled. So let’s start spreading the joy of staying healthy and eating
nutritiously!
