Sushi Zanmai

I've always been a fan of Japanese food especially sashimi, sushi and yakitori! Sushi Zanmai is a well know sushi chain in Kuala Lumpur. I wanted to try Sushi Zanmai when I was in KL couple years ago but didn't get to try it because of the insanely long queue..lol! They recently opened a new outlet in JB so we decided to give it a try. We ordered some sushi, yakitori, grilled saba, gyoza, tamago (my must order whenever i visit a jap restaurant XD) and a sashimi moriawase. My favorite dish is the grilled saba, the fish was grilled to perfection and the meat was so juicy and sweet! Overall i think the food was quite decent but nothing to shout about, price is quite affordable though.

Chef's Table

Finally a decent place that serve amazing dishes that i can find near my house! I am always lazy to travel when i am back in jb so i always choose to dine at somewhere nearby unless my friends are driving..hehe! It was my first time there and i feel like ordering everything on the menu..lol! We ordered quite a number of dishes and a bottle of red wine to share. For the starter, I strongly recommended the tuna tataki and oatmeal crusted oyster with sweet chilli 'AIR'. Yes, you didn't hear me wrong, sweet chilli air on the crusted oyster, so unique and it was really additive to eat. We also order the cappuccino of roasted mushroom that served in a cup and it was pretty good too! Truffle fries was quite mediocre as i felt that the truffle taste was not strong enough. Followed up by the main course, we ordered aglio olio, al fungi and tomatoes pizza, sausage pizza, lamb rack and a seafood platter to share. Everything is really good but their starters are more outstanding, in my opinion. The flavorful aglio olio, nicely done lamb rack (so much nicer than the L bistro :x) and thin crust pizza are my favorite~  A meal is somehow incomplete without the dessert...so we just had to order the dessert to try..lol! I personally thought that the matcha tiramisu and phillo apple was worth a try! One thing that i love about Chef's Table is their chef's artistic flair and presentation of the dishes, everything is so beautifully plated. We enjoyed our dinner throughout the night and we were so stuffed by the end! Thanks my uncle for the dinner treat on that day hehehe!!

Faculty of Caffeine

Went to Faculty of Caffeine to have brunch on last sunday, we reached there around 11am so it's not crowded yet. The place is quite small so im glad we went there earlier to avoid the crowd, yeay! The menu is pretty simple and the food variety is quite limited but I thought it's quite adequate for a brunch place. We ordered caffe latte, hot chocolate and hazelnut latte for our drinks. I'm not a coffee person but I really love my hazelnut latte, I hardly find any coffee that i like so i thought it's pretty good! :) For the mains, Shen Sim ordered the Classic, Cheesy, Garlicky while my sister ordered the Mouthful Sandwiches with bacon. I ordered the Generous Breakfast which you can choose either bacon, ham or sausage on the side. Wanted to opt for sausage but it's not available that day so i chose ham instead. We ordered a fudgy brownie to share after our mains because i heard that it's good. Ice cream and brownie could never go wrong unless it's a very bad ice cream and brownie, lol! Overall, the food is not bad and for sure they serve really good coffee there! We actually went to Maco Vintage for 2nd stop for our cafe hopping BUT the crepe cake we ordered was so so so bad that i don't even bother to upload the pictures..haha!

Makan in JB

Ok, I have no idea where this place is. I only know the food there is amazing, especially the rojak. The BEST rojak I have eaten so far. Im not kidding, it was so so so good that we have to order one more immediately when we finish the first serving. It was that good! I need to know how to go to this place soon, lol!

I can hardly say no to dessert. Went to By Grace afterwards and we ordered a dessert platter to share. We got to choose 4 different desserts from the menu. We settled with 3 different kinds of lava cake and apple crumble. I was quite impressed with the presentation and the interesting flavors of the lava cake! The dessert there is a bit pricey but i thought it's worth to give it a try.

Ok why am i keep eating..lol!
