I always pass by this restaurant and whenever I do, the devil and angel side of me will appear and argue whether should I dine in there. My devil side will say, 'go in... go in... jap food waiting for you...yum yum..' & my angel side will protect my wallet , 'Don't ever go in, it's going to be very damaging judging by the outlook of the restaurant'.

Finally one day, my devil side won and without realizing I'm already sitting on the tatami.

We ordered one Seafood Bento Set to share among us as normally bento set is huge. The bento set come with a bowl of salad, chawanmushi (steam egg) and fruits.

The unagi tasted good but it'd be better if there are a little more sauce. The portion of the unagi is quite big too.

I just love this dish which come together in the bento set. It's stir fried scramble egg with vegetables. It's very tasty with a hint of spiciness. It's kinda like the egg which served in the first dish of a Chinese Wedding Dinner. The one that stir fried with some shark fins. But this one tasted more fragrant.

The seafood was stir fried with garlic sauce. There are some salmon, prawns and squids. The seafood are fresh.

The egg was steam to perfection, it's so soft and smooth.


Spider Roll - It's very tasty with a generous amount of soft shell crab wrapped with Japanese rice, seaweed and lettuce. The soft shell crab is quite crispy but not oily. I am a fan of soft shell crab. :)

Salmon Roll Maki - There are some green pepper and spring onions wrapped inside the rice. The sushi is topped with fried shredded shallots. I just can't stand the taste of the green pepper, sprion onions and shallots. Therefore, this sushi don't taste good to me.

But, my bf just like it. The salmon is fresh.


Yaki Tori which is grilled chicken. It tasted slightly sweet with tender meat. I guess the sweetness comes from the teriyaki sauce.
The environment is very cosy with some yellow lighting to light up the area. But the yellow lighting spoilt my photo shooting lol...

You can choose to be sitted in a 'private room' with tatami seating which are separated with some string-like curtain.

Else you can opt for the normal dining table type of seating.


The price is not that damaging after all. Phew...

This restaurant is located at I Avenue. Map for those who are not familiar:

Apart from the birthday meal treat from my aunt at Sakae Teppanyaki, my bf treat me Italian food at Bravo Italiana which is located at I Avenue. It's just located next to the 100 Yen shop which sells Japanese stuffs such as snacks, household appliances and some fancy stuffs.

Both of us ordered set dinner. We were served with soup of the day (pumpkin soup).

This is my first time tasting pumpkin soup, so there isn't any expectation for the soup. But I wonder why there's no pumpkin taste in the soup. Instead I munched on some chunks of potato in the soup. It feels weird to me, to have potato in pumpkin soup. There's a hint of oregano leaves flavour in the soup.

It's served with garlic bread. The garlic bread is toasted just nice, not too garlicky taste as I don't like garlic.

I ordered Lamb Shank. It's braised with Italian herbs, garlic, tomato, mushroom and red wine. The outer layer of the lamb shank tasted a bit hard but beneath it's quite tender. I like the mash potato which is not too creamy in taste and there are with bits of potato in it. The serving size is quite big and I am not able to finish it.
My bf ordered Chicken Napoli. The chicken breast was fried, then baked with sliced tomato and mozzarella cheese. The chicken is very fragrant. The chicken taste good, but it would be better if chicken thigh is used. The spaghetti sauce is a bit too sourly for me, but overall it taste ok.
After main course, the dessert of the day was served. It was chocolate cake with blueberry cheese. I just luv this cake. The chocolate layer melt right in my mouth. The blueberry cheese then neutralize the sweetness of the chocolate. Describing about it make me craving for this cake again.

As it was my birthday that day, my bf ordered a piece of tiramisu for me. Thanks for the dinner and everything! He knows I was craving for it after I read the review from PenangTuaPui. The Savoiardi (I called it bread stick) which is fully absorbed with coffee and liquor just melted in my mouth. It's very fragrant with coffee aroma.

The interior of the restaurant.

I found a very interesting picture in the restaurant. A picture of a chili bottles. The chili bottles are not repeated.

100 yen... what's the first thing that come across your mind? Must be Japan ya...

There's a new shop in town - 100 yen shop at I-Avenue. It's located at the same row with Watson.

It's a new franchise shop selling Japanese stuffs such as tidbits, drinks and household accessories.

I would like to introduce a dessert sold at this shop which is snow ice. It's something like our ice kacang but the ice is much smoother. This is the container used to store the snow ice which can maintain the ice temperature.

There are 7 flavours available which are Mango, Strawberry, Lychee, Milk, Peanut, Green Tea and Coffee Snow Ice.

I ordered Mango Snow Ice. The mango flavoured ice is topped with mango chunks and mango puree. The ice is so smooth. It taste quick sweet but it's acceptable for a sweet tooth person like me.

See the texture of the ice. So smooth.

It costs RM 4.90 per bowl.

This restaurant serve a wide variety of food. You can find almost everything here, eg. curry mee, fried rice, claypot with rice, nasi lemak, spaghetti, porridge, pan mee, satay, and a wide variety of dessert which is including tong yuen. This restaurant is located at I Avenue, just next to Air Cool Car Tinted Shop and Watson.

We ordered tomato fried rice with satay and Claypot Vegetable Curry with rice. As for drinks / dessert we ordered Honey Dew Sago Ice and Mo Mo Cha Cha. You can opt for the dessert to be served later.

Here comes the tomato fried rice with satay. The fried rice is pretty good, just that slightly wet. Tomatoes, some herbs, spices and salted egg pieces can be found in the fried rice. 3 pcs of satay are served together. The satay taste good. There's a hint of lemongrass flavour in the satay. Suppose they used it to marinate the satay huh. The satay portion is quite big.

I like their satay very much. They serve chicken and lamb satay. There is a satay set which you can order. Range from RM8.90 - RM11.90 for a regular satay set of chicken or lamb or both. You can opt for the large set too.

I've ordered Claypot Vegetable Curry. This dish is not recommended at all. I've visited this shop a few times before I started blogging. Overall, the dishes are tasty except for this one. The curry is too thick but without any curry taste at all. Long bean, four season bean, cabbage, mushroom and tofu were used in this dish.

Mo Mo Cha Cha. I've tasted this before, in my memory the taste is good. But this time, the vanilla essence smell is slightly too strong. I wonder why they use essence?? But lots of ingredients can be found in this. The thing that I like most is the sago like thing which they made into a flower shape. It's chewy.

Honey Dew Sago Ice. Honey dew is blended then mix with coconut juice served with sago and honey dew. Not to sweet :-) . Nice. Normally there are around 3- 4 honey dew balls in it.

The environment is nice. Very peaceful feeling with some soft music playing. The decoration is quite classic
