Chapter 77: Gyuichi @ Hartamas

Yoshhhh !!! Today is Mon's birthday!!! Woooots~ and because of that my Mrs is bringing me to eat my fav beef, WAGYU !!!! Lolx d(^ o ^)b
I always wanted to try this place out because i am a beef lover and heard a lot of good reviews from friends and net about this place... So finally we are here at ts famous Gyuichi Japanese BBQ Restaurant which serves high quality wagyu beef bbq style....

Is actually quite easy to find this place as is located @ Sri Hartamas main area where all the shop lots is.., (nearby souled out and the fire station).. Took us 5 mins to find it... ^^

The interior is quite simple and nice ... Place is not too big , and can only serve up to 10 tables... So i will suggest is best to make a reservation first before going... BUT well, because is my birthday , hence my Mrs booked the whole restaurant just for us .... Wahahahaha. ^^

* each table comes with their own grilling stove like any other BBQ restaurant. Well it also means that you can choose to do the cooking yourself... ; )

The waiter came and took our drink order first and we start our dinner with a Japanese beer (IMO, the best to go along with BBQ) Suntory Premium Malt Beer !!! First time trying this and wow, the taste was superb. The beer was smooth , and the taste was awesome. U can taste the malt taste in every sip.... Just the perfect start for the dinner !!! *thumbs up

Not to forget their sauces... Personally like the sauce in the middle... Is like a multipurpose sauces which goes well with all kind of meats = )

And we also ordered a tomato salad with japanese dressing as our appetizer... Is fresh , juicy and very appetizing... Is a good combination with a meaty meal like this .... Mrs love this a lot...

Ta dang!!!!! The main course for today , black wagyu supreme set ( RM 128 for 250gram ) !!! Comes with wagyu ribs , striploin and tongue .... All BMS > 8 .... For those who doesnt know , BMS actually stands for beef marble standard. Range from 1-12.... Lowest quality is 1 amd highest is 12. The higher the number is , the more marble the beef is... A lot of places now serves wagyu but low grade wagyu hence is cheaper in price and of cause the quality is also different.. So for beef or wagyu lover , this is a tip for you, always check with the restaurant on the BMS for the wagyu they serve before jumping into ordering to avoid disappointment. ; )

Oh , btw , anything 8 > is already very good and considered as Grade A wagyu... Look at the picture above and you can see how marble the beef is..... O.O

*grilling the wagyu with a little pinch of sea salt to a medium cooked perfection !!! Yum yum~
Cant wait *drooling*

We also ordered hotate which is scallop (RM22 for 3 piece) because Mrs love hotate... Grilling it on the side with some butter.... ^^ But nothing beats the hotate at Sumika -ss15

Beside the wagyu we also ordered a P Toro (RM 22).... (Is actually Prime Pork Belly) and Pork Belly Skewer w Burdock and Asparagus (RM18 per serving - 2 sticks)... Hohoho.... This is actually a super fattening meal......!!! But, with good food it comes with great sacrifices!!! Hahahaha

* i personally love the one with asparagus more as i find that the burdock is a bit too sweet to my liking. Not a very good combination with pork belly. But do try it out and let us know what u think. ; )

And not to forget my Mrs favourite gyoza (RM 8 - small) ... But dont bother ordering this , nothing special about it and should justsave the stomach for other food.. = p

Hot Broth Egg Udon RM 14.00

Wagyu beef fried rice RM 8.00 - small

Comparing these 2 dishesh, it's really nothing to shout about on the fried rice. But we must highlight on their udon, although mrs thinks that it's kinda pricey.. But it's really good.. = ) love the whole combination, especially the sauces mix with the egg on the springy udon.. Simply delicious. ^ ^
By the way.. This restaurant has nothing to do with gyukaku which is a newer restaurant that located at iseatan one utama food paradise.. I remember i have read from someone's blog who kinda mislead me that they are sister company.. So yeah.. We have verify from them and they have only this restaurant... = ) .. If anyone who wanted to pamper themselve with luxury meat.. I would say gyuichi would be a great choice..

Chapter 74: Satay Satay @ 1U

The shop has been there for quite some time but me and mon were kinda reluctant to try cause there is bad impression on satay chain store which they cant manage to QC their food. U know what i mean ~_____~ Passes by a few times and saw the crowds on the weekend and thought maybe we should give it a try...


We went on the following weekdays around 5-6pm and it's empty.. We felt like a king cos been serve by 3 waitress. And one of them actually playing with my son.. LoLx

Sorry for my super poor iphone4 quality photos.. I think my phone camera having problem..

Happy boy * pinch pinch*

We have ordered a satay set.

Satay set (5 chicken /5 beef) RM14.50
OMG.. With that price.. Is like almost double of what i usually eat. ><
Mon tried his beef first and i had my chicken... The chicken satay might look dry but u are totally wrong... It was very juicy, tender and CHARCOALMATIC. I like it very much but for the beef, mon say it is just below normal. But he is always high expectation.
And for the gravy, it was above our expection, compare this to the olden day's hj samsudin satay, this sauce still lack of ouhmm.. But me wasnt complaining..

The little room at the corner, look something similiar to those room that normally ppl make " siu loong pao" and this, they actually show the process of grilling the satay with charcoal.. = ) yes charcoal grill satay in a chain restaurant is hard to find, not to mention inside a shopping complex... yumm!! Overall we are satisfy with the satay.. And tot giving their main dish for another try..

We ordered a laksa

RM 8.90
It didnt dissapoint us...
Just lack of spicy which i think is alright because we asked for more chili padi to add into the laksa... Yumms... I guess it was a good try = ) for the price paid

Chapter 73: Ribs @ oasis BU4

Ribs @ oasis that located in the hidden side of Bandar Utama area which serve lots of pork dishes..
Thanks to groupon deal, otherwise i wont be able to spot this restaurant.

I got myself a very good deal of a pumpkin soup and a reverse pork burger for 2 with a very cheap deal... i was actually expecting a portion sharing by 2 but ended up 2 of each..

The drinks which i forget what izzit call (lime soda and orange lemon soda...)cost RM 8.90 each are well spent. Seriously been a cheapo like me will only order mineral water, chinese tea or green tea.. I dunno why i give their drinks a try and they didnt fail me. Pure..

Pumpkin soup are good.. At least i like it, thick and creamy yet u wont feel too geli.

Reverse Pork Burger
Personally think it was quite normal.. Their drinks and the soup are actually much impressive, but i always have the stomach for pork.. there goes my belly..
The patty was nicely seasoned but too dried.. And just simple mayo and chili sauce as saucing..
Overall it was not too bad, u still can grab a quick porkie meal if u are around that area and with such pricing... GOOD.

Chapter 72: Namoo in the park @ Publika

It was a besties/ jie muis makan session that has been plan weeks ago but due to some reason i postponed... Sorry my bad... Anyway, initially plan to try out a coffee bistro call Lavinier coffee which i read bout it at TImeOut magazine (august and september issue). So happy that i manage to get some deals too.. Mana tau, they close down pula. >< have to change plan again... Sorry my bad again... Than i know there is a place i wanted to try... Macam damn nice la the place.. And so happen we all dress so vintagely ( kononya-la) aunties need ban leng leng abit d..

Meet namoo = )

At first i tot it was a indoor park.. Than kena tipu-ed.. They have outdoor area which kononya the park.

But still i love each and little bit of deco.. Each and every corner just feel so warm = )

Authetic korean food with modern twist...

4 of us ordered 4 diff main dishes so that we can share.

Garlic Bulgogi Rice RM19.90
Very normal... I dunno about the beef, but the sauce are just too normal.

White cream chicken omuto RM19.90
Something similiar like nasi pataya, or japanese omellete rice with fried chicken, and with the white cream sauce... Yumms... I actually like this although is super sinful ><

Bibi Rice Burger- chicken/ beef RM19.90
We choosed chicken bibi rice burger, seriously to those who love to eat bibimbap. I can assure u that this will suit ur tastebud. Aromatic rice with some sesame smell.. " drolling while posting this"

Spicy seafood RM23.90
Too oily for my liking, but taste wise... Not too bad. The kimchi's spicy oil ( very mild spice) actually bring out the sweetness of the seafood. Very new to me...

Sweet potato cake RM 9.90
I really dunno should i call this dessert coz it's not sweet... Texture like mash potato but not salty.. LoL.. Ended up we left more than half of the cake even shared by4. Guess that we have made a wrong decision on desserts..


Overall we still enjoyed very much. Must have more jie mui session

I would say this is a great place for camwhore session = )

Chapter 71: Ikuzo Ramen @ ss2

Me and mon never an early person, even woke up early.. We still drag and go out late.... Therefore, we always end up have really late breakfast/ brunch/ lunch.. What ever u like to call it as.. LoL.. So today at almost 3, i bet most of the restaurant around ss2 area is cleaning up. With no other choice, we decided to check this place out.. ( sounds so forceful) Haha...

It was a newly open ramen restaurant ( around May i guess) right beside Mc Donald ss2. Somehow i feel that i should have choosen mcd that day.. Ohwelll!!!!

Simple yet fun interior..

Ramen revolution indeed...

No nasty ingredient... Hmm..

Felt so localized...10 condiments to spice up.. U have fried garlic, fried onions, pickled ginger, chili sambal which is similiar to those famous chili pan mee chain store.. And more..

Green tea milk RM 4.80
Eventually taste good.. But not icy enough..

Tokyo Ramen RM 7.90 - original thin noodle

They have choices like thin or flat ramen, sounds even more like pan mee style???? =p

Soup wise, not too porky.. Not too bad thou.. Like what they say lighter and healthier ( not sure about healthy). i am ok with their soup.. But for the noodle... It's worst than instant ramen.. All the noodle was broken to small pieces.. And no texture... I rather chew rubber band ><

Yakiniku RM 3.80
I didnt try this, coz i don eat beef.. But Mon say it taste like chinese style beef which the beef is very dry..

Gyoza RM 4.50 -5 pcs
The filling was ok.. but the skin is really thick.. I can even taste the flour.. Sigh.. But for the price 4.50.. I shouldnt complaint...

Tsukune RM2.00 -3 pcs
And for the chicken meat ball... Seriously.. I dunno how to express the texture... Grinded too much andlots of flours.. Why do i even bother ordering this ><

Seriously, i'm never a picky person... Maybe.. at least not as picky as mon.. To me, i always understand $$ vs quality.. So i will not expect paying less than RM10 will get something like other ramen chain.. But if i really happen that i only left RM10.00 in my pocket.. I would rather just had a bowl of pan mee rather than complaining the noodle here.. Yeah.. It is that bad... My advice... I rather pull up the pricing and fix the noodle.. and for the side dish.. Lolx hire a new chef la... Omg..how can u sell those stuff.. Have u actually tried??? Lolx i sound so mean today.. Anyway this are still my personal preference = ) there are still supporters right.. Ohya.. I did read alot good reviews about this place.. So i guess maybe it's our bad day, or their standard drop.. So good luck guys and happy trying...
