Excellent sushi dinner from Oribe Sushi @ Vipod Residence, Kuala Lumpur

If you are looking for authentic sushi restaurant in Kuala Lumpur, then look nowhere else. Oribe Sushi located on the ground floor of Vipod Residence in Jalan Kia Peng, Kuala Lumpur. The main attraction here is their omakase set. There are 12 counter seats and a small dining room area. All the sushi are made by two chefs. Master Chef Hideaki and Chef Naoya. I was lucky to have my meal prepared by Chef Hideaki. For ultimate experience, do request for counter seat. There you will see all the action of sushi preparation by the chefs. The kitchen area is open and you can see the sushi preparation in detail.

For their lunch and dinner, Oribe offers 5 different menu - Seto, Iga, Mino, Oribe and Omakase. I choose Mino which consist of an appetizer, steamed egg custard, 13 "chef's speciality" nigiri, sushi roll, miso soup and a dessert. Each sushi were prepared fresh, delicately and with right amount of warm sushi rice. The chef already put all the necessary ingredient onto the sushi and no additional seasoning is required. Some of the sushi were served with a dash of yuzu (Japanese lime) and salt which enhanced the flavour. The chef will place each piece of sushi onto my plate and describes what I will be eating. The way the sushi is prepared is almost on par with the sushi that I tried in Tsukiji market in Tokyo. As for the price, I do agree that it is on the expensive side. But with this kind of excellent quality and authentic Japanese sushi preparation experience, the amount spent here is worth it if you love premium sushi. Make sure you have around 90 minutes to enjoy the meal.

Taste:9/10(Excellent. Fresh, good quality and tasty sushi. Great service with good presentation. Quality wise almost similar to sushi in Tsukiji Market in Tokyo. Using premium items on sushi preparation and creativity. Do take note that menu in Oribe is seasonal. They may have different offering from time to time).
Price:2/10(Expensive. It's a price to pay to have top notch sushi meal with premium quality in Kuala Lumpur. They have two Japanese chef to make good sushi with right balance of ingredient and temperature).

Wedding dinner at Mitasu Japanese Restaurant @ Kuala Lumpur

This is my first time I had a meal in Japanese restaurant for wedding dinner and whats great about the dinner is the amount food that you can ordered. Yes, it's a buffet and ala-carte style of menu provided on each table. More than 80+ items to choose from. We can choose what we would like to eat and the amount that we want to order. Must make sure that we can finish it before we order. Cannot be too greedy also. Else the host are punishable from food wastage. Drinkwise were great too with availability of many Japanese wines such as Umeshu, Sake and Yuzu wine. Overall great experience and something different from common Chinese restaurant dinner. Couples nowadays will try to have alternative type of dining for their wedding to create a more memorable experience. We all feel satisfied with the quality and quantity of the Japanese food served in this restaurant. Taste wise is great. Thank you Qing Ying and wish both of you good healthy and happily ever after.

Naughty Nuri's porky experience @ Courtyard SS15, Subang Jaya

I went to this restaurant with friends for dinner on friday night. As expected, the restaurant was full house and have to wait for around 20 minutes. The place were nicely decorated and dancing waitresses who performed for birthday. We ordered their porky fried rice, their signature grilled pork ribs, BBQ satay lilit, BBQ pork loin, beer and cocktail of the day. Service can be improved as the serving were rather slow as the restaurant were full on that day. Do take note that the environment in this restaurant is noisy with loud music and dancing once in awhile for birthday celebration.

Taste:9/10(Delicious. The ribs tasted good and well marinated. Fried rice with roasted pork is mouth watering and flavourful. BBQ satay lilit were fragrant and tender. Cocktail mixture of Budweiser is moderate as I think the taste a bit like medicine. Chocolate with bacon is just so-so however the presentation is good).
Price:4/10(Near expensive. Signature BBQ spare ribs at MYR45, BBQ pork loin at MYR25, Indonesian fried rice with roasted pork at MYR24, sizzling bacon chocolate cake at MYR23 and kiss my bud cocktail at MYR45).

Dancing and performances from the waitress.

Being waitress in this restaurant is very busy. Besides serving the customers with meals, they have to dance and sing every now and then.
