Kaori

This is a complimentary appetizer (as long as you order either a main meal or a set meal). Stir-fried egg with long beans, carrots and brinjals soaked in Japanese soy sauce.

Salmon shioyaki (salmon grilled with salt) set meal - MYR23++ (=MYR26.70) - includes a bowl of rice, miso soup and 2 slices of watermelon.

I thought a drink was included in the set meal as well so when I was asked what drink would I like, I replied hot green tea MYR2++ (=MYR2.30) when normally I would not order a drink when there was soup. Salmon was fresh so it was all right.

Store front. This photo looks as if I cut it out from an old magazine somewhere.

  1. Call me jakun but at first, I thought Kaori was a food name.. hehe.. Oohh some restaurants include the drinks in their set, some doesn't, have to ask first lor.. But mostly doesn't I think.. Normally when I order bento set, I will order the one with chicken or tempura, plus gyoza.. I love gyoza..

    1. Good morning Princess Ribbon,

      I guess you have already reached your office by now. Kaoli is a food name so you are correct in a way. Yes I should have asked or looked at the set menu carefully. Since you love gyoza do you like to eat chinese jiaozi too?

    2. Morning mun.. Reached at 8.10am this morning.. Wah, jam dou.. Coz there was an accident somewhere near Bukit Jalil, on the way to Kesas.. Damn.. Oh, what is jiaozi? Is it "gau chi" (direct cantonese translation)? Or "woh teep".. I love "woh teep", I can eat 20!

    3. What time did you leave your house? Yes you are right. It is gau chi - like woh teep but steamed not panfried.

  7. I have been "thanks but no thanks" to salmon in Malaysia ever since I know what they are, unless if my mom cook then I have no choice but to suck it up. I think most salmon in Malaysia are farm salmon rather than fresh from the sea, they have that weird taste that I cannot accept.

    1. Well it is the special salmon taste that I like. My theory is some people have genes that cannot accept this special taste so they find it weird. So you only eat wild fish and animals? No farmed animals and fishes for you? You don't eat farmed tilapia fish?

    2. I think it is only the salmon. My mom buys all her fish from the pasar, I think a lot of them are farm fish too, but I can accept. Just not the salmon.

    3. You are not alone. Many of my friends also cannot accept the special taste of salmon. :)

  12. These days, I'm thick-skinned enough to ask 'Is there a charge for tea?' and refuse a drink if yes. :p Ah set meals... I'm greedy and always want to taste ALL my favs. But always end up having to choose.
