Kogetsu Japanese Restaurant, The Saujana Hotel Kuala Lumpur

-
It is Japanese cuisine again and this time I have to bring you off a little far away from the KL City. The place is known as Kogetsu Japanese Restaurant which is located inside The Saujana Hotel very near to Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Aiport, Subang. Together with me today is Caroline whom may look new in my blog but we have known each other for 8 years.
We got quite a lot of similarities and the most important one we like to take photos, eat Japanese food and blogging!
The dining place is not really big so advanced booking is highly advisable.  For your information, their green tea is chargeable at RM5.00++/pax. Pretty expensive.

The best part when dining during the lunch time is you will enjoy the beautiful lake scenery through the window. However if you are dining during dinner time, it will be a total pitch black.
They do serve spread buffet style occasionally only. So do catch their yearly buffet bonanza which you wouldn't want to miss it. In 2014, their buffet period is only available from 26 April till 30 June which only cost at RM99++/pax. Not sure if they are going to have the same period every year but you always can call to ask.
Tamano Hikari @RM75.00++ - At a good mood for a cold sake and this sake is sweet enough for a lady like Caroline. She loves it.

Taste: 4/5
Price: 2/5
Overall: 3/5 - The meat is soft and tender. The gravy is not too sweet and it is just nice. There are little tiny bones in it but I think it is still acceptable.

Price: 1/5
Overall: 3/5 - I never order a sashimi shrimp before if you notice. This is the first time because it is their signature and indeed their signature do lived up to our expectation. It is so sweet but too bad that it is only 3 pieces for RM78.00++. Extremely costly!

Kaki Ten Don @RM40.00++

Taste: 4/5
Price: 3/5
Overall: 3/5 - I just love Japanese rice. Even a plain rice with their sweet sauce can be tasted so good! Furthermore with the deep fried oyster, delicious! The only issue is a bit too dry. Luckily I have ordered a soup.

Asari Sakamushi @RM30.00++
Outlook: 4/5
Creativity: 4/5
Taste: 4/5
Price: 3/5
Overall: 3/5 - Full of seafood freshness in it. The soup is very sweet with slight mushroom taste. I really do like it a lot.

Kamonegi Kushiya @RM25.00++

Creativity: 4/5
Taste: 4/5
Price: 2/5
Overall: 3/5 - I did not tell her what meat is this when she was eating it and she could not guess it at all until I revealed the answer. She was truly amazed that a duck meat can be this soft and tender. I think she had too much Chinese roasted duck style which is so hard like chewing a cloth.

Sashimi Moriawase (5 kinds) @RM64.00++
Outlook: 3/5
Creativity: 4/5
Taste: 4/5
Price: 3/5
Overall: 3/5 - We were almost full but I just wanted to try their standard of their sashimi so that I can bring you guys the verdict. Only 2 pieces per type which is just nice for us to try one each. I love all of them except the mackerel which I find it a little fishy taste in it.

Kurogoma @RM29.00++
Outlook: 3/5
Creativity: 4/5
Taste: 5/5
Price: 0/5
Overall: 3/5 - This is the most expensive one scoop of black sesame ice cream I ever had in my life. They claimed that this ice cream is air flown so that is why it is so expensive. It is really smooth and not too sweet. Indeed this is the best black sesame ice cream I have ever tasted but I paid a heavy price for it.

Just to let you know that this place is very quiet and dark at night. Luckily they have a few guards here patrol to make sure everything is in order. Overall, this restaurant does serve a very authentic and delicious Japanese cuisine but the price is very expensive. If you are not worry about the price, go ahead and you will never regret.


Total Damage: RM501.10

Will I Revisit?: Yes

It is my day with my little princess, Ying Ying. She is getting cuter every single day. We had our own sweet time at Coliseum Cafe & Grill Room. This restaurant has been operating since 1921 and this is the first time after 92 years, they started to branch out their restaurant to Plaza 33 and Mid Valley. This restaurant has clinched Malaysia Book of Records award for the "Longest Operating Western Colonial - Themed Restaurant. Their first ever restaurant is at Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman.  It is not easy to sustain this long. They surely has their uniqueness in their menu to keep their customers happy. One of the reason is they are pork free restaurant. This easily encourage Malay citizens which stands more than 70% in Malaysia to enjoy western food in this restaurant.

Champ's Bowling Centre, Sandakan

-
Image
Not really much entertainment in Sandakan even though they are just beside the sea. No nice beach for water activities and the nearest island like Pulau Selingan and Turtle Island are about 90 minutes away. As for the town itself, basically is this bowling centre called Champ's which has a very nice and good condition bowling alley, bowling shoes and bowling bowls if to compare with bowling centres like in KL.  Not very big at all for their bowling centre which only has 12 lanes. Their shoes look so new! Here is a demonstration on how to bowl. Looks pro...I wonder how is the end result. So what do guys think? Is it a strike? They have a lounge here as well. And a cafe too! The price of the bowling is cost at RM4.80 per game per pax. We went at their most peak hours so their price basically has not much different than our KL City price. As for the bowling shoes is chargeable at RM2.00 per pax. FYI, the prices not inclusive government ta...

Restoran Yu Hing, Kota Kinabalu

Image
By the appearance of it, Restoran Yu Hing definitely doesn't look appealing enough to become a tourist spot for you as your dining choice. However, I am still going to introduce to you their noodle. They do serve other variety of food but something worth to be here is only their noodle which is known as Beaufort Fried Noodle. Beaufort is a name of a town in Sabah. This is their very own local delicacies which you won't find it easily at any part of Malaysia or even Sabah. You have to be either in Kota Kinabalu or Beaufort to experience it. We can even hardly able to find a table in this run-down looking restaurant which already suggest that how good they are. Beaufort Fried Noodle @RM9.70 Outlook: 3/5 Creativity: 4/5 Taste: 5/5 Price: 2/5 Overall: 3/5 - Still a common looking noodle to you which does not convince you why I am purposely creating a post just to introduce it? You have to come visit for yourself then. I think the same too when it is displayed right in f...

After Magnum has hit Midvalley City and got a tremendous response from it, this time they hit Putrajaya in IOI City Mall. This exciting ice cream house is making Putrajaya a whole lots livelier with their irresistible ice cream selection.  If you plan to eat their single magnum stick, you only can take away.

Tasik Biru Kangkar Pulai, Johor Bahru

-
Image
At Johor Bahru, there is a majestic blue lake which is known as Tasik Biru Kangkar Pulai. It is a hidden gem within Masai, Johor Bahru.  The reason it is blue is because of the iron ore quarry nearby. The blue color is from the mineral called copper sulphate but I am not sure if that's the real reason for it because whenever there is a blue lake like this, there will be a iron ore quarry beside of it. Another good example is Tasik Biru Bukit Ibam Muadzam Shah, Pahang. I believe there are other more which you can share with me the location of the blue lake with an iron ore quarry beside it on the comments below. Thanks. A panoramic view of the blue lake. Click to enlarge the picture. To get to here, simple key in "Tasek Biru Kangkar Pulai" into your Waze app. It will leads you directly to this place. There are no designated parking place, so you just have to park beside the main road.  It is not difficult to hike because I saw kids have no problem cli...

Sports Shooting Club Hatyai (SSC)

Most of people think if you travel to Hatyai and not visiting their temples, you are just wasting your time at Hatyai. As for my personal opinion, if you come to Hatyai and did not go to Sports Shooting Club (SSC) Hatyai to experience the shooting experience with a real gun, I think you are not just wasting your time at Hatyai but you are wasting your time being a human. You only live once and there is no better way to understand these guns than coming over to SSC.   Their gun selections are enough to satisfy your urge. From rifle, pistols, revolvers to shotguns. You would be surprised that their rifle is the cheapest. The price is stated from 890 baht nett for a 15 rounds.  I have tried the rifle, beretta and this Smith and Wesson 4506 .45 ACP. This 45 is my favorite among all with 50m shooting range and 8+1 capacity. One of the most expensive gun to rent here. Basically you are shooting at the target paper like this. You can adjust the range of the target ...

Aroi Thai Boat Noodles will target both Thai food lovers as well as casual diners looking for good food in a fascinating Thai atmosphere. Recently there is an interesting Thai restaurant which is known as Aroii Thai opened at Shaftsbury Square at Cyberjaya. The interesting part is all their food and drinks are only RM1.90++/each. I am not joking and I thought it was a gimmick too when I first heard of this. So I decided to drop by all the to Cyberjaya for a visit.  Aroii in Thai means delicious. This delicious eatery is always pa...
