NOT a food blog
Friday. Let down your hair. Paint the town red. Enjoy sparkling sake at Daikanyama.
Visit the tiny patch of green lung at Changkat Bukit Bintang. All 10 square metres of it too.
A thick delicious seafood okonomiyaki (Japanese pancake) set off with a layer of bonito flakes.
Bacon and cheese rolls. Goes wonderfully with the sparkling sake. Goes wonderfully with anything, actually. Even that old green rag you’ve been wearing for the past 15 years.
Did someone say salmon maki with truffle oil? Quite a unique maki, this one. Cooked salmon over mashed potatoes, drizzled with truffle oil and coated with some crispy bits. It could do with more truffle oil. I prefer generosity.
Daikanyama. More of a bar than a restaurant. A lovely place to enjoy your favourite sake.
Happy Friday!

Food, for me, is a means to an end and not an end in itself.
Food, for me, represents the love of family, the fellowship of friends, and the community and communality it brings.

That food looks delicious – I love places where you can go just for a drink, or for drink and food. They are the most welcoming, I think. And those bacon and cheese rolls … oh, yum!

Passed it about 1000 times, but never ventured inside. Since you’ve given it the green light, it’s all systems go.

I feel like I can almost reach out and touch the bonito flakes on the okonomiyaki. Ah, another place on my To-Go-To-Eat list. And I haven’t even visited Pink Sage yet!!

Japenese cuisine is so delicate and so appealing to the eyes. Yup, we eat with our eyes first

It’ll be nice if they sprinkle a bit of black Truffle on the salmon maki too lol.

snigger, for some reason, the name, just triggers off all kinds of rude words in my head. kany…nyama, daikany, …the permutations are incredible.

I have a confession 😉 I have never tried Japanese food. Ever. I need to sample some now.
