Hotel Istana Kuala Lumpur Dessert

Nippon Yataimura Restaurant at CS

*Hope I got the name right.. Hehe..

Went there to have a lunch on Valentine's Day with Jeah Loong, Han Ley, Shi Jian and Wei Heng.

The lighting was rather dim making the atmosphere quite soothing and romantic in someway for couples. For the same reason, my handphone cam won't work well in dim areas. So, didn't take much pics.

Anyway, I ordered a Teppan Chicken Ika. It consist of:
- a bowl of rice,
- miso soup,
- small plate of salad,
- one serving watermelon and
- grilled chicken and beansprout

Cost: RM20

The combination was nice to me. The little sour taste in the salad is rather appetizing, preparing your tastebuds for the main dish.

The chicken was nicely grilled. When you introduce a small piece into your mouth, your tongue can feel the crispyness of outer layer of the chicken. Chewing the chicken, you can feel the tenderness of the meat and its juiciness. The gravy wasn't too salty, so it went well with the chicken.

The miso soup was a good way to wash everything down, rather refreshing.

Even though the price is a tad bit high, but the servings was very generous and you will really be able to fill up your tummy while tasting rather delicious food.

Oh yea, one thing, you need to be quite well-skilled in using chopsticks. The reason being that not all dishes come with spoons, like my dish, even though it comes with a bowl of miso soup. The bowl is small enough for you to drink the soup as though from a cup. So, well-developed chopsticks skill will allow you to pick up every single grain of rice from the bowl. Hehe... Do note that the Malaysian style of putting the bowl to the lips and sweeping all the rice into the mouth is not the proper way in dining with chopsticks.

The restaurant runs on basic Japanese language. So, if you have someone who is able to converse in a certain amount of Japanese, the dining would be rather interesting. We had the pleasure of having Jeah Loong-kun's presence with us and he knows Japanese!!! Haha...

Cafe Caffe

Today, I'm going to recommend a fine Italian Restaurant, Cafe Caffe, which was mentioned in the previous post. Sorry, no photo at the moment, but I will upload it as soon as possible. It is situated at Taman Perling. U can easily find the restaurant by the main road leading to Perling 2. It is just 2 shops beside Yew's Cafe or few steps aways from Shell.

Well, this restaurant provide both authentic Italian food and modified Italian food (to suit Malaysian's taste bud). Unlike most Italian restaurant, they really provide you the authentic Italian food if you ask for it. For some dishes, they have two ways of cooking (they won't ask you which way you want. they will just give you the Malaysian style if you don't ask for it)

I like their chef salad for the appetizer, lamb loin for my main course, salmon pasta, black ink mariana and alfredo as my pasta. As for dessert, you must try their tiramitsu. It's so rich and creamy in taste, with cocoa powder topping.

If you like something special I'll recommend you the black ink mariana pasta. The pasta may look disgusting (I think), but it taste great! Squid ink is added so that you can taste the freshness from the sea. =)

For most dishes, the price is still consider as reasonable. The price range will be from RM2.90 to RM100++. Most dishes will be priced at around RM20++

The owner of this restaurant is very kind. He will always introduce you different dishes which are not in the menu. He will tells you about Italian's eating styles, their food and more!
