Umai Bento House @ Kuchai Lama

It has been some time since my family came back to this restaurant to eat. This is what happens when everyone in the house is lazy to cook, but it's a bonus for you readers because I'll be eating out :P

Butter Chicken Set, RM 9.90

I ordered Butter Chicken Set. God knows why I ordered chicken, when I usually ordered fish. This dish costs RM 9.90. The set comes with a bowl of soup which I love because it's not super salty that you'll think twice about taking it in and a plate of fruit. I don't like it very much because I don't like cartilage in the meat.

If you want to try a good Butter Chicken rice, go to Rabbit Cafe in Seri Petaling (Near Saujana school).

When I was eating the tofu (bottom right of the picture), I spotted a small strand of hair.... umm.. eee. I left the tofu alone.

The plus side of this dish? There are a lot of chicken meat balls.

Tofu Minced Meat Set, RM 8.90

Twin number 1 ordered Tofu Minced Meat Set. This costs RM 8.90. It also comes with a bowl of soup and a plate of fruit. She said it was okay and she'll order it again.

Teppanyaki Fried Tofu with Egg, RM 11.90

Twin number 2 ordered Teppanyaki Fried Tofu with Egg. The price is RM 11.90. Again, it comes with a bowl of soup and fruit. She likes it and when asked if she would order it again, she said "I guess so." The tofu reminds me of my childhood. Back to the past. Whoosh!

Salted Egg Chicken Set, RM 9.90

Dad ordered Salted Egg Chicken Set. This dish costs RM 9.90. My dad said it's very filling and the egg was quite good.

Hot Longan & Winter Melon, RM 3.00

The drink I ordered was hot longan and winter melon. It costs RM 3.00. I like winter melon since I was young so I like this drink. For those who doesn't like sweet drinks, I don't think you'll favour this.

Hot Lime & Plum Juice, RM 3.20

My dad ordered hot lime and plum juice. It costs RM 3.20. It looks good but I did not try it. My dad did not complain about the drink so I guess it was nice, not too sweet etc.

On an unrelated note, their receipt is printed on hard paper. Well, tougher and feels stronger than the usual receipt papers. Ada quality. ROFLMAO

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 :)

Isetan Supermarket lot 10 @ Bukit Bintang , KL

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 !
