Chef’s Mom’s Beef Croquette (Rm 28) A very delicious deep fried potato snack with crunchy panko shell and soft creamy potato with ground beef center. This was superb! Very delicious, must have if you are here.
To complement the ambiance quintessentially, each menu is delicately crafted and embodied with its own stories which are then set to delight both of your palate and visual senses. This goes from the iconic KLCC beautifully plated dish, one-of-its-kind soba noodle to moreish desserts with fascinating stories behind especially the Mozart Pudding. Of course, not forgetting the many signatures housemade special pickles as well as appetizers and small bites namely assorted yakitori that pair really well when you’re having a tipple or two.
7 UP Juicy Fried Chicken These meat cutlets are so juicy and crispy! Seriously, you do not want to miss this, nyummm......
To know what's good here....just follow one simple rule.....stick to anything that has Hokkaido's fresh cream in them (*wink wink*) coz those that I tried that didn't have that fresh cream weren't as successful. I've only scratched the surface with this one as there are loads more on to try but the high prices stop me dead in my tracks...though it won't stop me from getting my all-time favourite dorayaki! ^_*
It is easy to see why many are still flocking here everyday to try Chateraise’s products. For example, the Hokkaido puff is not something you could easily find here. And even if you can find it, it doesn’t taste as good as the original one.
Strawberry Parfait. RM18.00. The strawberry so fresh, so red!!!
Yuzu is quite a nice place, with decor that includes a wall of the eponymous citrus fruit. It doesn’t feel like somewhere which opens onto a big mall. Staff were ok, though it was a slight disappointment hat they couldn’t do cocktails when we visited. If you want Japanese food in KLCC without having to fork out for Nobu (not that I have), it’s worth making the trip to the top floor.
Yuzu continues to satisfy us with their food each time we dine here. Their a la carte menu (albeit with higher prices) is so extensive you'll be spoilt for choice. But if you're looking for a more affordable Japanese meal, their lunch and dinner sets will certainly be better value...and better priced. Probably three not-very-hungry people can share two sets for even greater value! ;)
Sushi Masa (serving traditional edomae sushi) opened its doors on August 18 and is helmed by chef Yoshinaga Hisaki, with my inaugural visit in late October. The restaurant serves one menu for lunch – Kou at RM488 – and two menus for dinner – Miyabi at RM988 and Omakase at RM1288.
This is comfort food, warm rice, fluffy omelette, crispy chicken with Japanese curry. Something you can order for a quick meal without any complains. The only issue is they take some time to prepare their meal. This is the Ken Chan Curry at Signature Food Court KLCC.
Genki isn’t a posh place but it was enjoyable enough, and I definitely think I will pop back from time to time, even though the vegetarian choice isn’t huge. It’s one of those to keep in mind because it can suit a group as well.
Verdict: Price is on higher side and the food quality was just average in my book. There’s definitely a more affordable choice for Japanese food out there.
Whenever I'm in KLCC, I always seem to end up at Yuzu when I want a Japanese meal, so I thought I'd give Umai-Ya a try. But after one try, I know for sure I prefer the other one! ;)
OVERALL : 5/10 BELOW MY EXPECTATION. PRICEY AND NOT WORTHY.
