Genji Japanese Restaurant @ PJ Hilton

I love sitting at the sushi counter.. because.. that’s where all the “AKSHUN” is! (action) And if someone asks.. hot or cold? i usually say “Cold.. and your smoothest please!” We really got hammered this time.. Whilst the sashimi was indisputably fresh and in a class of its own, the price was just over the [...]

Rakuzen @ Hartamas Shopping Center, KL

Our families eat here a lot. And from the look of things, especially the line that is snaking form the counter to the outer part of the waiting area, so do half of the PJ/KL folk! When you first walk in to Rakuzen, you get the sense that it is going to be a really [...]

Alongside [...]

Tokeiya @ Kobe, Japan – eating kobe in kobe!

There is nothing more gratifying than eating a particular dish in the place it was named after… E.g. French loaves in France, English muffins in England, and… Kobe Beef in Kobe… ooo… bliss… I beg your pardon… about the spat of Japanese blogs… the fad will pass.. i promise.. (maybe) I mean.. look at this [...]
