Hot green tea ocha (free flow) at MYR3++ (10% service charge 6% GST - MYR 3.50 nett). I could not help ordering the ice green tea matcha drink with green tea ice cream at MYR15++ (MYR 17.50 nett). The ice matcha is sweet but not too sweet and the matcha ice cream tastes quite nice.
Buta Kyushu Yakidon (Kyushu Grilled Pork Belly Rice with a small bowl of soup) at MYR 27++ (MYR 31.50 nett) as recommended by PH. Luckily the portion is not that big. The pork belly is quite fatty but the fats are not wobbly but firm and I ate two pieces. Overall the taste is on the sweet side. I like the taste of the potato salad ball in the middle of the pork belly slices. The rice is those nice plump rice that is a bit sticky.
Then I went overboard and ordered many skewers of assorted meat to try. The above are various food wrapped in bacon. As expected the bacon is on the salty side but has a very fragrant smoky taste. From right to left: Tomato bacon, quail egg bacon, lady fingers bacon and king oyster mushroom bacon. The quail bacon skewer costs MYR7++ (MYR 8.16 nett). The other 3 types cost MYR 6++ (MYR 7 nett) each. I like all of them especially the tomatoes because it is sourish.
Asparagus bacon skewer - MYR 6++ (MYR 7 nett). Asparagus beef skewer - MYR 7++ (MYR 8.16 nett). The bacon skewer tastes better because the beef is on the dry side due to it being all lean beef meat.
I ordered this because there is a popular sign beside it on the menu. Banana bacon skewer at MYR 7++ (MYR 8.16 nett). Surprisingly I like the sweet banana with the salty bacon taste - almost like a dessert.
This is egg pork liver skewer at MYR 5++ (MYR 5.85 nett). The egg is tasty but the pork liver is on the dry side. I did not try the pork skewers and chicken skin skewers. I won't be trying the chicken skin skewers but I may try the pork skewers next time.

Entrance to Robataya, One Utama. Like PH, we were also given a MYR 30 voucher for Robataya in Publika.
Total bill: MYR 110.75 nett for 8 skewers, 1 rice meal, and 2 drinks.

ReplyDeletestill has enoki bacon and spring onion bacon skewers I did not order.
DeleteBacon!!! I'd love those skewers, I'm sure. I love asparagus too - I'd pick that one.
ReplyDeleteasparagus bacon is the nicest!
DeleteRemember PH been here and posted on what she had.
ReplyDeleteI love the skewers you ordered. Not overboard to me, I would do the same. Lol.
lolx! :)
DeleteI received the voucher from here to patronize their Publika outlet but I didn't go.
ReplyDeleteI also ordered all the grilled skewer food from entire menu. They went very well with warm sakae! Yums!
aha you ate the chicken skins skewers too.
DeleteDefinitely my kinda food! Yum! xoxo
ReplyDeleteoh so you like to eat bacon too.
DeleteWah! Such a feast!
ReplyDeletenot pork free.
DeleteI want to order more skewers next time. So are you going to the Publika outlet?
ReplyDeleteI have not read the T&C on the voucher yet. Maybe if I can find the time I will go.
DeleteThat's a lot of food for you! And your trusty container didn't even appear haha.
ReplyDeleteI have not tried this place yet. It doesn't look busy much for lunch on Sundays which is my usual time at 1u. But last weekend I was there at Sat dinner and there was a queue outside.
I did not eat all the above food alone. I only need my trusty container when my friends do not want to share my food. I was there for lunch on a Sunday. More people eat skewers and drink sake at night I guess. Eating skewers would be fun for children.
Deleteyummy Japanese food! i like all of them except the egg pork liver..
ReplyDeleteI guess it is because you don't eat liver.
DeleteI would also want to try the skewers beside the main dish!
ReplyDeleteskewers are easy to eat.
