I've been back from KL for more than a week yet I didn't take the effort to blog about the trip. And because I took a stupid nap from 7.30pm to 9pm just now I reckon I'll not sleep early anymore so uhhh what the heck why not spend this lonely (actually not so lonely because I'm so busy bullying my sister haha) night blogging.
But before that, special credit to all the lengcais and lengluis who hung out with me in kl! Especially Jane, Shufen, Chui Shin and my beloved cousin who drove me around =)) love love!
Sorry Jane, I'll not blog about our lovely meal in Tenji because I must leave the best for the last *roll eyes*
Instead, I'm gonna blog about another Japanese restaurant, Pasta Zanmai! heh.
I know I'm quite outdated to only discover this restaurant now, mind you I only get to spend 25% of my 365 days in Malaysia, and even less in kl hah. You know what, I haven't even tried Sushi Zanmai before, slap me please!
Compared to Sushi King, Pasta Zanmai is a relatively small Japanese restaurant located at the ground floor of 1Utama, somewhere near Friday's and Yishion. The location is super not prominent okay we just happened to pass by and oh there's actually a japanese restaurant here and then we randomly walked in.
But the interior design of this restaurant is very comfy and stylish!
I love the individual nest (or semi?) circle seats which give the customers spacious but private corner to enjoy their meal.
view from the chair. I don't really know why this photo is taken and posted don't ask so much okay!
As there were only two of us and my cousin has a stomach as tiny as an ant's, we only ordered two types of pasta and a dessert.
Speaking of my cousin, she always complained about how hungry she was when we were shopping but when we finally got us some food she would only took a few bites and threw the rest to me T___T but worry not, instead of gaining weight, I lost about 5kgs hahahahahaha I don't even know why! Told you oz air itself is fattening!
Okay sidetrack sidetrack! I was saying... each of us got to choose one type of pasta okay please don't distract me again.
So I chose
Teriyaki Chicken Onsen Wafu (Rm 19)
It was alright but the amount of chicken given failed to fill my giant stomach at all. Oh it came with a soft boiled egg too, very tender and light melike! I don't understand the purpose of having a piece of leaf in the bowl though.
My cousin went for
Salmon Sashimi Ikura Wafu (Rm 23)
This is the second yummiest japanese pasta ever! after the one I had in Japan of cause la right *smack head* The roes were humongous and the sashimi were fresh and thick omgomgomg. There's a few drops of pasta sauce just enough to fill the base of the bowl. It wasn't too strong that it covered the freshness of sashimi but nice enough to mix with the tasteless pasta.
In the end I ate the sashimi pasta more haha but I had to finish the teriyaki one too because my cousin said the restaurant was too cold that she couldn't consume much hahaha what the.
Oh and we had a jar of iced lemon tea too and trust me this is the nicest iced lemon tea I've ever had! Although I was feeling ultra full that I might throw up anytime, I die die also wanna finish this lemon tea because it's so cooling and nice and sour sweet (TvT) okay maybe I compare it to Yeo's lemon tea that's why.
Iced Lemon Tea (Rm 12) Sorry for the salah focus I didn't realise it until I transfered it to laptop.
The dessert we had was
Green Tea Macha macha Ice Cream (Rm 15)
It came with one scoop of rich green tea ice cream immersed in cream which isn't too annoyingly sweet, covering one table spoon of sweet red bean paste and corn flakes as the second layer and cincau as the bottom layer. Oh and a piece of waffle thingy.
Believe it or not, it feels like heaven when I put the first spoon onto my taste buds. Highly recommended!!! When my cousin said she was feeling very full (again) I IMMEDIATELY offered to help her to finish up the ice cream hahahaha I'm so helpful can!
It costed me Rm 79.35 for this wonderful lunch. Never feel regret because it's really worth the $$$! So much better than Tenji *eyes with anger*
Sometimes I wonder why won't the restaurant just include tax and service charge in the food price list as we'll have to pay anyway and this can give us a clearer view of the amount of money we're gonna spend.
Anyway I love Japanese food so much I can marry a Japanese guy errrrr I'm half kidding. I cannot comprehend people who don't eat sashimi just because they are raw full of worms and all that, Japanese has the longest lifespan okay you don't see them dying from having worms eating away their organs and brains. Wake up people! You're missing one of the best food in the world! Sigh.
HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR EVERYONE!
The only time where wearing red does not signify lala but prosperity and happiness, and all of us get to gather around and have fun together! not to forget the red packets given by rich and generous relatives hahahaha.
Petronas CNY ad 2009
If you think you are too cool to realise the importance of CNY, watch this. I understand that not everyone is lucky to have caring and supportive family but a family is still a family, who bring us to this wonderful world by bearing excruciating pain without any complaints and raise us without asking for any repays.
