Today, for no reason, we decided to gather and had a dinner together.
Initially it was planned to go to the Paris restaurant @ PJ SS2. However, some felt that it was just too boring to eat there, so one of the DF0042 member Ee Jet had a better suggestion....
So here we're heading to Sri Hartamas, looking for the Japanese BBQ restaurant that nominated by Ee Jet.
Once we stepped inside, we're greeted by the staff with the familiar Japanese word, "Irrashaimase ~"
This place must be quite popular among the Japanese living in KL, because 90% of the customer here are the REAL Japanese ! While we walking to our seats, we can hear them chatting in Japanese language.
Ee Jet has called to reserve a table for the gang earlier, so we have been placed to sit at the platform type seats, and we have to take off our shoes to put our leg in. They also put some Croc shoes there in case we need to walk around in the shop.
While waiting for the food to come, we've been given some appetizer and Japanese ice tea in one big bottle. The ice tea is a bit different than the Ocha we used to have in other Jap restaurants, it has very light coffee taste in it.
We've ordered two big sets which are mainly beef. Additional to that, we've also ordered some lamb & chicken. Soon, the raw food has arrived and they put a stove with burning coals into the hole in the middle of the table, where we will do the cooking ourselves on it ~
The beef are cut into thin slices, and look very fresh. Put it on the grill for a few minutes, and Voila ! Its done and ready to filling up your taste bud ! They are so tender and juicy, and the special source they used to mix with the beef is really tasty and sweet.
There are something new and special to us which most of us have never tested before. It's the ox tongue !! We've tried so many parts from the cows: sirloin, lung, liver, intestines and oxtail, even to their eyes (mata kerbau), but this is the first time most of us see & eat the ox tongue ! It looks so clean and pink in color and doesn't look like your tongue at all which has many whitish buds on it.
Wonder what is the feeling da-k-lun with ox tongue ? It has the QQ feeling when you bite on it, and a little bit like ham. I think its a lot better than your partner's tongue !
Chean got bored while waiting for the meat become cooked.
We certainly eating too fast, unlike the Japanese who really know how to enjoy the food. We found that we are still far from enough after we've finished the sets we ordered, so we ordered few plates of chicken and lamb. Then the watermelon comes as dessert when we asked for the bill.
We're really satisfied with the food. The services are good and has to be good as well because most of the customer are Japanese there. Although the bill has came with a hopping price at around RM450++, but its reasonable for what we have to pay for the cows we killed, the tongues we cutted and the meats we eaten. It is inhumanity though....
Try it out if you're looking for Japanese Yakiniku restaurant, it can't be wrong if the Japanese also go there ! Strictly not for vegetarian !!
