Third time's the charm. Or is it?

First up, sorry for slacking off. I know I have not been updating my blog lately but the past few weekends have been extremely busy. No, I don't have a gf yet. LOL!

So we (Wei Siong, Tracy, Calvin and I) were at Kin No Uma one Saturday to utilise the soon-to-expire discount coupon (40% off!). As this is my third visit here, I think I'll let the pictures tell the story.

The golden horse beckons

This time we dined outside

Oysters remain as good as ever

No complaints about the sashimi
The crabstick wrapped in tamago was pretty good too

The ever popular tempura prawns
Fresh prawns encased in crunchy batter, what's not to like?

I never miss out on having the assorted mushroom soup
It's that good, but watch out as it packs quite a kick!

Smooth chawanmushi
Not packed with ingredients like the ones you would find in Sushi King
but the egg texture beats the competition flat

Do-it-yourself shaved ice
Think you can outdo your favourite ABC stall?

Although it's not even a Japanese delicacy
the kueh pictured here are great!

Ice cream oh ice cream
It's not Haagen Daaz but it does the job

We liked:

1. The quality of food remained consistant.

2. Affordable, but only due to the coupon (RM55 nett)

We disliked:

1. Somehow or rather they never recorded down my reservation (made a couple of days in advance). Not really the restaurant's fault I guess, more of the reservation department's fault?

2. The yakitori was still as lousy as ever and this time we didn't even get the pleasure of grilling it ourselves.

3. Not much changes in the menu.

Well I can safely say this is the last time we'll be coming here. Three visits is plenty already! It's time to try new places. Maybe that place at Putrajaya Mariott...

Fish spa!

When I wake up in the morning light...

Eat @ Yook Woo Hin

Actually I haven't had anything new to update for the past couple of weeks but the long Hari Raya holidays provided me with some opportunities to try out some new places.

After reading babeinthecitykl's post on Yook Woo Hin, I decided to wake up early (!) on a holiday to pay this place a visit. I had to ask around for directions before finally locating it near the end of Petaling Street. The entrance is partially obscured by stalls so look carefully. The lot number is 100 by the way.

Dim sum was fresh and tasty, served old school style on metal plates. The chee cheong fun was smooth but I wouldn't mind a tad more of the lip smacking mushroom sauce. The prices here are pretty cheap too with the total bill for one pot of tea (for one person), one plate of chee cheong fun and around 7 dishes of dim sum coming to around RM19.

Pro tip: Come early. Come very early (the restaurant opens at 5 a.m.) or else you will have to wait for seats.

The siew mai was good
