Octopus Japanese Restaurant @ Kuchai Lama

More Japanese food!

The place is called Octopus Japanese Restaurant. Very straight to the point.

I like the restaurant's logo. The picture below shows the entrance.

Inside, the interior looks like this.

They have this unique Japanese or sushi pizza.

I don't know how to explain it but it sounds like it has a lot of rice in it.

We did not order it because we wanted to have our own dish to ourself. 

You can check out the pizza here.

One cup of green tea costs RM 2.00

My family loves Japanese curry, so we ordered Curry Katsu Don when we came here for the first time.

They served the rice with the curry and meat mixed in. However, when we went there a few days ago, they served the rice and curry separately.

It costs RM 14.90

During our first time in the restaurant, the curry and rice are already mixed in.

When we ate there a few days ago, they served the curry and rice separately.

I tried their Una Don the other day.
It costs RM 25.90.
My dad said it will have a lot of bones, because it's a bigger eel.
A smaller eel would have less bones.
Anyway, true to what my dad said, this one had lots of bones but it was still delicious.
He even added that the one in Esquire Kitchen has no bones.
I just hope someone invent a machine that helps chefs debone the eels. XD

Oh yeah, the price of unagi is steep.

My sister ordered Salmon & Agedashi Tofu Bento.

It costs RM 19.90

She picked out a bone from the salmon though. Other than that, it's all good for her :)

This bento also comes with chawan mushi.

It is soft and smooth.

And as usual, my sisters will order their staple sushi.

The Nigiri Tamago and Nigiri Inari.

Each set (one set is 2 pieces) costs RM 3.90

They said the rice was salty.

Look out for this signboard:

Hmm, the logo looks like a sun too :)

Ichiban Boshi @ Sunway Giza

It was my two sisters' first time in Sunway Giza.

I wanted them to try out the fried rice in Coffee Chemistry Cafe but I did not realize they closed down :P

It shows that I have not eaten there for a long time.

Our next refueling station was Ichiban Boshi.

They are owned by RE&S and RE&S has many other businesses such as a bakery and other restaurants.

RES has four Ichiban Boshi outlets in Malaysia: in Pavilion, Sunway Giza, Publika Shopping Gallery and Setia City Mall.

The menu.

I was surprised to see bibimbap on the menu.

Curious, I decided to order it.

It's called Sizzling Curry Bibimbap.

The cost: RM 19.90

Inside the bibimbap, we have eggs, fish flakes, rice, chicken meat with Japanese curry.

Of course there are carrots and potatoes as well.

The miso soup was nice. I like it because it was not too salty.

I like this bibimbap because it fills me up!

My youngest sister ordered Ebi Fry Curry.

She loves prawns and Japanese curry :)

The dish costs RM 19.90 too.

As seen in the picture, it's ebi fry, rice and Japanese curry with carrots and potatoes.

My sister said it was alright but it was spicy for her.

My sisters and I have low tolerance for spiciness so most probably it will not be spicy for some of you. Heeeheeehee!

My other sister just picked dishes from the conveyor belt.

As usual, she took Tamago and Inari.

Each cost RM 2.00

For her, she said she preferred the Inari in Sushi Zanmai.

When it comes to the Tamago, she said she liked Ichiban Boshi's because the egg is sweeter.

A close up of the inari.

She even took egg mayo inari.

She said the best egg mayo inari for her would be the one in Sakae Sushi but she hasn't eaten there for A LONG TIME, so the one in Sakae Sushi may or may not be good now.

The egg mayo inari cost RM 4.00

Andrew ordered half-roasted salmon, which was why the colour looks like that.

Red plate costs RM 4.00

He said it's not bad.

He also added that he would prefer smoked salmon instead.

This time, we ordered desserts as well :D

I ordered Mousy Brownie to share.

It costs RM 8.90

I have tasted better brownies (the best was made by my friend's aunt! Unbeatable brownies!) but this was alright too.

It came with vanilla ice-cream and crushed nuts with a cherry on top.

My sister ordered another dessert called the Tempura ice-cream.

The name got all of us curious.

It cost RM 6.90

It was topped with strawberry syrup.

Inside, it was vanilla ice-cream as well.

It's like fried ice-cream but we didn't like it.

It was so-so.

The outer layer was not crispy.

It was like a biscuit that has been exposed to the air for some time.

My sister and I would prefer the outer layer to be warm too.

I guess the super cold ice-cream made everything else cold :P

We won't be trying this again but you guys can order it to try.

Maybe that time they'll make it good for you! XD

All of us ordered green tea.

Each costs RM 1.50.

I have a feeling they charged us for refill, also RM 1.50.

Either that or they keyed in my bill wrongly and I didn't double check this time!

Usually I do.

Here comes the first food for this post!
Unagi soba!
I suggested to Amelia to get this for dinner because 

I had this before & I find it very delicious.
Amelia said that the rice was a bit hard.

Original price is RM13.90 but after discount it's RM6.95.

From top left is Unagi Soba , top right is Sashimi ,

Bottom left is black pepper chicken & bottom right is Japanese Bento.

                                                 

            Bento that Melvin choose that has fried chicken & prawn.

Do you feel like having more besides sashimi?

You can grab black pepper chicken beside the sushi counter. The taste is not bad also.

The original price for the chicken is RM6.80 & after less 50 % is RM3.40

This is my sushi dinner which consists of California roll , Inari & some sashimi. 

The california roll seaweed has to pulled out & rolled back to wrap the rice again. It's troublesome for me to do

 because I don't know how to pull out but they do have steps given shown on the plastic

but it's in Japanese words. 

The sashimi is fresh for us & I shared the black pepper chicken with 2 of my friends.

Overall we had our dinner less than RM10 for each person !
