Tokushima Wagyu

This section of the menu piqued my interest. Which method of cooking the beef do you prefer?

It was from this special "Haru no Mikaku" menu. I searched online and found that Haru means spring and Mikaku means "Sense of Taste".

So I ordered these two items: 50g of grilled sirloin beef with tomato in rich miso at MYR 88 nett and a salad roll at MYR 13 nett.

The beef is served rare so I decided to cook it more. I was quite wary of the gas cylinder.

I removed all the slices of tomato and put them on a plate. Then I cooked the slices of beef on both sides slightly and switched off the fire when they are just done. The beef is very tender and delicious! 

I thought the beef was served on a plate shaped like a leaf but after all 3 of us finished eating the beef, only then I realised that the plate is in fact a real dry leaf. I wonder why the dry leaf could withstand the flames .

I ordered this salad roll because I wanted to eat very little rice with vegetables.

There are 3 types of vegetables here - avocado, cucumber and lettuce.

My friend ordered Oyster Nabe set at MYR 42 nett and another friend ordered our favourite Salmon Shioyaki Set (no photos) at MYR 32 nett.

There are two fresh oysters in the ladle. There are a few more oysters in the miso broth.

To our surprise, we were given a MYR 20 nett discount because Kura Restaurant at One World Hotel just reopened a few weeks ago after moving to the ground floor of the hotel from the first floor.

This is how the entrance looks like now compared to before the move.

When one walks from One Utama Shopping Mall to the lobby of One World Hotel on the ground floor, one must walk past Kura Restaurant now.

WG 10 Gram Sri Petaling

My order: Nasi Lemak with Fried Egg at MYR 6.50 nett at a modern cafe. As usual, I kept half for dinner. It was supposed to be a sunny side up egg but I requested for the yolk to be well done. I suspect that they use coconut oil to cook the rice in addition to coconut milk because of the very strong and nice coconut fragrant taste in the rice.

The Order Chit - My order is A10 and they keyed in the remark "egg 2side cook" which means I requested for the yolk to be fully cooked and not runny. I wonder is that a direct translation from Cantonese.

Since this is a new style cafe, they use pretty tea pots sitting on top of the cups to serve the hot tea included in their lunch sets.

My friends ordered pasta and curry noodles. A scoop of ice cream (vanilla or chocolate flavour) and free drinks (Tea or Soft drinks) are included in their lunch sets. MYR 66.55 nett for 5 pax.

Interior - 10 gram cafe with its name "carved" into the wall exposing bare bricks where the alphabets are.

Eat more Vege

 This time I ordered the set lunch at MYR 16.60 nett with a bowl of not sweet red bean dessert soup at MYR 4 nett. I chose the lotus roots with chickpeas and omelette with herb dishes. The stirfry mixed vege and pickled papaya are the two default dishes in this set. My friend gave me her pickled papaya dish too so I had two portions in the photo above. As usual I kept half of the rice and some dishes for dinner but not the red bean soup.

Total Price for 2 pax: MYR 41.15 nett at Green Meadow, PJ so it is MYR 20.60 nett each as we ordered exactly the same dishes.

WG Ko Hyang 1U

I felt like eating fish so I ordered a Saba set at MYR 20.90+ (6% GST = MYR 22.20 nett). Just need to be careful of the bones near the belly area. As usual, kept half for dinner.

My 2 friends shared a KimChi JiGae by adding a bowl of plain rice at MYR 2.10 nett. Total Bill for 3 pax at Ko Hyang, One Utama is MYR 43.90 nett.

Which is Less

I thought chapati is less fattening to eat than Roti Canai so I ordered Chapati (about MYR 2). Is it true? My drink is a glass of  iced barley lime kosong (without any sugar) at about MYR 3 at Macha and Co, One Utama.

Rice is Soft again

I mentioned here that I may not eat this again but on another visit to the same BMS branch at The Starling Mall, the rice is soft again so I guess I will continue to order this dish at MYR 12.90 nett with 5 cubes of pumpkin.

Answer to Quiz

The food item in the previous post is from the Bak Kut Teh claypot in the photo above. The claypot next to it contains pork stomach cooked in pepper soup.

Answer to previous post: It is a small intestine stuffed with many small intestines so from the photo, one can see the many layers. The photo showed a close up view. The actual size is about half the length of your little finger but a little bit fatter.Nowadays many places do not take the extra effort to do this to make it meaty. They serve the small intestine without stuffing it so it does not taste as nice.

I guess many who commented do not eat this food item. To me, when it is cleaned properly and stuffed with many layers and cooked in Bak Kut Teh broth, it is very tasty, just like eating the stomach in Bak Kut Teh broth.
