In the grilled form – the salmon was so tender and juicy! The karaage was good too as batter was crunchy and chicky was tender. The set came with rice, miso soup, salad, chawanmushi, pickled veggie, tuna and fruits.
7.5/10. Overall, a solid dinner. Can’t really go wrong with this place. A really cozy ambience with high quality food. (Honestly speaking, as far as restaurants go - as in not Omakase - this is definitely on the higher range in terms of quality of salmon sashimi).
Then came the Nippori’s Style Nachos Curry Cheese Duck. This dish is large enough for two to three people sharing and is available in two different variations. Either curry cheese duck or classic chicken. We ordered the duck option. The Nachos came at the same time as the Avocado Prawn Tempura Maki, which is a deep fried prawn tempura, wrapped in sushi rice, tamagoyaki and kyuri, each carefully topped with slices of fresh avocado.
The Mala Shandong Squid will be the reason for our returning visit, as we are also intrigued by the ramen/udon.
Reasons to visit Rare The Food Company in Perdana Damansara: premium ingredients sourced worldwide but with a dominant influence from Japan and Spain; a range of high-end cooking tools guaranteed to make the home chef drool; must try the Pulpo, Sweet Corn, Rack of Lamb and Mushroom Pate; check out their ever-changing specials based on seasonal ingredients.
But the overall package of price, above average taste of most items coupled with overall good and friendly service by the team of Chef and waiters at 戰居酒屋 Senso Izakaya made my day.
Here's the location. Ala carte Daily Buffet for lunch & dinner. RM48.80++ (adult) RM25.80++ (Children)
Classic Signature Honey Toast (RM 16; half size) did not disappoint. Its toast edge are crispy while the body is soft. It is then topped with an overwhelming quantity of cream and a scoop of ice cream, which we whipped away some of cream in the end. Drizzle some honey provided in the bottle to give it a pleasant sweet taste.
My Personal Opinion Although the sweetness (and taste) of the honey toast was acceptable, the rest of the accompaniments just weren't up to the mark. I may be too quick to judge since I've tasted only one honey toast but the rest is still the same honey toast base except for the different toppings. What I do know is that I won't be all that interested in another honey toast. I guess I wasn't blown away by the ice cream...and I'm not a fan of the whipped cream either. Many would feel that they're a little pricey too (RM25 - RM35) for something as simple as buttered toast with ice cream but they make up for it with a huge portion size. In the end, I enjoyed my friends' company (and the drinks) more than their honey toasts, I'm afraid! :P
Harajucube specialised in Japanese Honey Toast and many others Japanese desserts. Don't forget to try their signature Haraju-Milk & Haraju-tart as well ;)
