Looking for cheap & affordable Japanese eats?

Dig into Pandan Indah area for a grilling session. Yakiniku, which means grilled meat cooked over flame of wood charcoals, was where we headed to.

The grilled meat is best eaten after dipping into 'tare' and the common sauce consist of Japanese soy sauce mixed with dashi, vinegar, etc.

Cooking over a stove of charcoal

The restaurant is equipped with huge cooking hood to remove smoke & odours.

Yakiniku serve ala carte Japanese fares such as don (rice) dishes, ramen, salad, sushi, but the star would of course be their grilled/ barbecued dishes.

Another great deal: (Monday - Friday only)

• RM65++ for a set of grill items that has: (could accommodate the appetite for 3-4pax)
• Lamb, Bacon, Pork Lean Meat, Chicken cutlet, Beancurd (tofu), Enoki mushroom with butter, Prawns & Australian Green Mussels
• 4 selected drinks

Cheap eh?

If you don't mind the smoky odour that could leave you smelling of charcoal (well at least half of it was suctioned by the hood), it's a good idea for a birthday celebration with friends too.

It's your birthday today Khee! Happy Birthday dear!

Right: AiWei's yummy Cottony Japanese CheeseCake!

MBuji Cafe @ Sunway Giza, Kota Damansara

Where do you usually hang out for your favourite cup of coffee?

We recently came across MBuji Cafe, a little comfy coffee shop cuddled up in Sunway Giza Mall at Kota Damansara.

As you might wonder what does Mbuji mean, their name was derived from a rock in Tanzania, a nation in central East Africa that the natives would worship and share offerings to this stone and it's like a monument to them. Bordering this area is a tribe of natives that make a living by harvesting coffee.

Thanks to MBuji for the invitation, we were entertained by the variety of coffee they served. As we were scrutinizing their surroundings and menu, there's a feeling of sympathy as we get to know that the coffee growers/ natives at Tanzania have an average life span of only about 35 years. Sad isn't it?

Malaria has been the major cause of death. And this place is flooded by poverty.

However, MBuji Cafe helped by getting their coffee bean supplies straight from the natives in Tanzania, guaranteeing direct trading and sales to the coffee growers.

Money from the coffee would then help the locals in many ways; food, education, medication and other utilities. Salute MBuji Cafe for their loving effort.

Ramadhan Santapan @ The Living Room, Westin. Let's Berbuka Puasa!

Another festive mood filled the month again; the Ramadhan.

A month bursting with buka puasa fare; bustling bazaar and stretches of feast offered by many restaurants.

During the one-month fasting period when Muslims fast, non-Muslims joined in the breaking fast affair too. But where to?

Here at Westin, they offer the Ramadhan Santapan, an international ramadhan feast featuring numerous delectable dishes. Believe it or not, there are about 700 dishes/ items.

Before breaking fast, we were served with 'Zam Zam Water' to cleanse our palate. The water was claimed to have healing qualities due to its high calcium and magnesium content. It was known that during Haji and Umra, the pilgrims are recommended to drink 'zam zam water' for thirst quenching and to cleanse their bodies. Dates and ulams were also served before breaking fast.





Very cosy environment
