Ramen Izakaya Kazushi Restaurant in Mont Kiara is obviously a Japanese restaurant, famous among the Japanese, which explains why only Japanese (usually men) were seen during our visit, and we were the only odd ones. Its location wasn't really bad, as long as you manage to get to the area.

I wasn't prepared for a food review though, so the information provided about the restaurant would not be sufficient. :\There was Katsu Curry Rice, but mine came without curry and with pork and cabbage instead, recommended by one of my friends, Rou Han. You must definitely give it a try! The pork chop was so crispy. Rou Han, the greedy girl, snatched a small part of it as soon as it was served. My stomach was literally bloated long before I finally finished my meal because of the portion served. These are exactly why I will be sure to return again one day.

Ramen Izakaya Kazushi Restaurant has a very interesting challenge for the big eaters. You will be given a choice of noodles or what I had, served in an extraordinarily huge bowl, which the amount will be equivalent to approximately four times of what I ate. If you manage to finish everything from solid food to the sauce or soup within half an hour (if I’m not mistaken), the bowl of food will be free. Otherwise, prepare to pay RM90.00 for it.

I’m certainly waiting for someone to challenge it.

P/S: The only fact that I dislike about the restaurant is that smoking is allowed indoor.

Don and I went to I Love Yoo at The Gardens approximately four hours after our brunch, for a lighter meal. We love food, and we greedily love food. We preferred I Love Yoo to the other restaurants or food stalls because we have heard positive comments about this particular outlet from my aunt. Since we were right at the place, we thought, why not?I dropped their set meals and ordered a bowl of Tou Foo Far, or Tau Fu Fah if that's what you prefer, at RM3.30. It was finely done, to the extent that I literally cleaned the remaining syrup, which I don't usually do. I had my favorite You Tiao at RM1.60. Its crispiness was the boom!

The prices may be twice as expensive as those sold at the roadside stalls or morning markets, I just couldn't resist the deliciousness.Don ordered Set B that came with Soya Bean and You Tiao at RM4.30. So much for having a light meal! He even added a Butterfly Bun at RM1.60 just because he thought it was too little, which he then swept aside such misgiving and regretted later on. By the way, Butterfly Bun is just a sweet version of You Tiao.

Do I need to elaborate more on the taste? Trust me when I say that you need to personally give it a try. Their smoothness and crispiness just simply make me drool!Without comparison between I Love Yoo and any random roadside stalls, a light meal at Mid Valley Megamall or The Gardens at RM10.80 was considered affordable. I acknowledge that there are quite a few outlets that serve bad food, but I will be sure to return to this outlet again should I drop by the mall someday. My aunt was right, this place is highly recommendable indeed!

The enterprise group, Watami Co., Ltd., was developed in 1984 and was listed on the Japan Exchange in March 2000. The core service of Watami group is in food service business. Besides, it is aggressively challenging to different areas of business such as "Agriculture", "Environment", "Education", and "Nursing home". More than 600 restaurants were developed in Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, Shenzhen and Shanghai up to date. Each brand has its own characteristics to provide the multiplex choice for the customer.

Watami Japanese Casual Restaurant is a new type of tavern that concentrates on providing food with less emphasis on alcohol at affordable prices. It serves delicious Japanese food and drinks in a comfortable atmosphere. The dining environment is good for causal gathering and family. – Copied and edited from Watami Malaysia (http://www.watami.com.my/)

It wasn't really our first experience at Watami Japanese Casual Restaurant. We had our first try at One Utama Shopping Centre, and it was good although slightly overpriced.As usual, a cup of Hot Green Tea would be the best drink to go along with Japanese cuisine. Don had Iced Green Tea instead, and both were refillable.Thanks to Don for ordering their Zaru Soba, which is literally cold soba, it was exactly when I changed my impression on soba. Since young, I used to consider it as a weird dish with funny taste and I dared not try it, only to realize that I was totally wrong all the while. Dip the soba into the sauce and eat it right away, I'm sure you will be amazed by such delicacy.According to him, as I never eat sashimi, the Salmon Sushi Don was a "thumbs up", while I would only prefer their Tamago Yaki, the egg rolls on the side.I had my Eel Pot Rice, or Unagi Kamameshi, with an additional Fresh Egg. I loved it, although the process was threatening. I have mentioned that I was in hunger before settling down at Watami Japanese Casual Restaurant. When I placed my order, I was informed that I had to wait for 3 minutes before I could start eating my food, and I agreed. Apparently, the time I had to wait for my meal to be cooked was way more than merely 3 minutes! I felt cheated.

Still, it is recommendable if you do not mind having sticky rice, which is my favorite of all time. I did not regret adding the Fresh Egg right before it was completely cooked. The great smell of egg was just irresistible!

Priced at approximately RM41.50 per person, it had burnt a hole in his wallet. Despite so, I will still be sure to return occasionally. Ah, their Zaru Soba!

Taiwanese cuisine seems to be something rather uncommon in Malaysia. Even if it is, the food quality may not be guaranteed, the portion size may be disappointing, or they may not offer anything that I truly fancy. For instance, I would never suggest XXL Crispy Chicken by Shihlin Taiwan Street Snacks for its disgusting, weird, and smelly taste. Formosa, though, is so far the only one that I would highly recommend to give it a good try apart from Arisan at Taylor's University. Despite being operated by a group of foreigners, the food and services never fail to satisfy me during every visit.

On a side note, I have recently found out that Taiwan was historically known as "Ilha Formosa" by the Portuguese, which it literally means beautiful island.On that particular night, Don and I did not choose our usual set meals, but we wanted to have more than what our tummies could handle. Formosa offers a very wide selection of choices of set meals to be picked. Some of them may come with or without a cup of drink of your choice, and some may or may not include a bowl of rice. It's totally flexible in a way!

However, unless I need some cold drink to calm myself, I wouldn't prefer to have their Grass Jelly Milk Tea. It tasted like a cup of drink filled with flavoring essence.Each of us had a bowl of Braised Sauce Rice as usual, and added Braised Egg and Braised Taufu at RM3.00 in total. The first bite had indeed helped to make a life changing decision ever since; I will be sure to order all three of them every single time!Don preferred their Hot Crispy Chicken while I opted for Taiwanese Salted Chicken to save hassles. Both of them came with soft, tender, and juicy chicken meat covered with crispy outer layer, but cooked in different ways. They're definitely finger licking good!

Well, not to worry. The Hot Crispy Chicken wasn't too troublesome to be eaten, in fact. YOU MUST TRY!

Original Classic Mille Crepe. Honestly, I love Arthur's Original Classic Mille Crepe more than the one at Nadeje, Petaling Jaya. I guess it's because Nadeje serves it with a layer of sugar, making it too sweet for my liking, whereas Arthur's tastes perfectly fine and heavenly. For each bite I took, the layers can be clearly felt. The taste was not the ordinary vanilla that could be found at any bakery shops. It’s just special!

This is also the only flavor that I would ever go for, after trying plenty of other flavors. I love it original!Tiramisu Mille Crepe. My boyfriend always loves to try something new, so he ordered this. It tasted good, but the layers could no longer be easily felt due to the cakes that existed in between. It sort of killed the purpose of a piece of mille crepe, actually.
