First Visit to Edo Ichi Japanese Cuisine (江戶一)



I named this month as Sushi month, I ate quite a lot of Japanese food after-since the month reached us. My craving towards salmon is greater now, good thing? Laugh. Always passed by Edo Ichi which located at Island Plaza for times, I finally paid a visit there.
It has the same management as Azuma Japanese Restaurant at Queensbay Mall, and it's highly rated by bloggers, so I made my reservation a day before I went there. Customers were a lot even during weekdays, that's why we were so happy to have our seat while others need to queue for their dinner. Lucky us!
The interior is something like Japanese style, if you go there with a gang of friends, they will provide you a private area as well. 
Other than Sushi King, other restaurants didn't provide sweet sauce unless you request from them. The reason might be, their sweet sauce is thicker than others, it's kind of waste if we pour too much even though we don't need that much. Laugh
They have the same dishware with Azuma, exactly the same! 
Sashimi and Unagi Set . RM55
The raw fish slices are thicker than anywhere else, and it was quite fresh to have a bite on it, especially the salmon. Mostly of the set come together with rice, salad, chawanmushi, miso soup and two slices of watermelon. 
Sushi and Chicken Teriyaki Set . RM42
I don't know how to describe the taste of the chicken teriyaki because it's the best I ever tasted! The way they cooked this is totally differ from other restaurants. Thumb up for this. This set didn't come with rice as you have quite a number of sushi. The portion looks small, yet it can fulfills you when you finish every bite of them. I'm actually drooling while writing this post.

After Japanese food, I think it's time to crave for Korean food again! Laugh

Last but not least



We gave ourselves a good sleep for the very last day in Kuala Lumpur, we only started to keep our thing half hour before we checked out. For the past 3 years when I studied in Kuala Lumpur, I seldom had my footprint stepped on Petaling Street.
So lucky that we managed to bring them over there before back to our lovely island, we reached there early so people were not many.
We had our breakfast there, along the food stalls street; the famous soya bean at Petaling Street! Over here, we have hot Tau Fu Fa, Lindsey and Jerry were so shocked because at Taiwan, they serve the Tau Fu Fa in cold. 
4 of us shared 2 big bowls of Gui Ling Gao, a jelly-like Chinese medicine, good for skin! Even with the honey, thee Gui Ling Gao still with bitter taste.
Went to have a walk in Central Market, to see all the arty crafty things, I still remember last time I was here for Pipit Wonderful Market.
VIP of the day - Jeremy Teh who promised us to lunch together, yet ended up he had his lunch, and just came over to accompany us.
Last destination at Kuala Lumpur City Galley before off to Dataran Merdeka. 
The largest miniature of Dataran Merdeka model is placed inside; over here, you can discover the city and learn about the history.
After the showroom, we entered the souvenir corner where you can grab it back with you if you find anything you like.
Last but not least, the Dataran Merdeka. The road is blocked as they had some event on-going that day, but it was okay to walk inside.
Jump, jump, jump! Even though Jeremy didn't touch on his cammie for ages, still, we can have this beautiful photo because of him, and he don't have a good photo because of us! Laugh


Lessons that I'd learnt throughout this trip:
1. Not to wear the same cloth with boy, as this will bring a lot of misapprehend even though it is the shirt we get from same event. 
2. Slippers are always your smartest choice! This is the first time I wore this slippers after-since I got it at Langkawi last year.

Finally finished the KL trip posts, after 3 weeks. 




Wong Ah Wah Chicken Wings



After got down from Genting Highlands, what we did next was to find a good dining place somewhere at Jalan Alor. Went this area not more than 2 times including this time, but both also went to the same hawker shop - Wong Ah Wah.
Many foreigners know to find great food over here, there are hawker stalls along the street, but the one we went is at the end there.
With no second thought, we started to order dishes that we like, for the soup we had seaweed soup.
Not to forget the chicken satay; still, I feel that the best satay that I ever had is at Kajang, too bad don't have chance to try again.
Famous dish in Malaysia, Belacan Kangkung, Lindsey and Jerry couldn't have spicy food, so we called the chef to reduce the spiciness.
Oh my gosh! This is it, the famous chicken wings that I had it 2 years ago, and I was there again for it, superb and fingers licking good!
Please remember this restaurant, it's located just at the end of Jalan Alor, it also provides air-conditioner room if you don't want to surround by the mess smoke.

We were up to Genting Highlands!



Woke up early in the morning so that we can get the bus ticket to Genting Highlands at KL Sentral, don't know why during fasting session, the tickets also sold out that fast, so we only can get ourselves the 9.30am bus.
Another monorail ride to KL Sentral, not even a man in the station, too early I guess.
The only fast food store that open 24 hours in KL Sentral. Everytime if I happened to come here too early, this will be my breakfast.
After we reached at the skyway station for cable car, we were told that the service was shut down for maintenance, unlucky! Crowds were waiting for the bus to fetch them to the top, but we gave up and went there with a cab, we had no time to waste.
Finally, we were there, the weather was good and windy; I was the only one with short pants, I really love this kind of weather.
Only bought the outdoor theme park tickets as we need to go down at evening time, we only chose those games that don't need to queue for long time, for my trainees, this theme park is like a kids playground if compare to theirs.
Magic show was available, and I noticed not even a Malay was at the theme park! Oops!
Just realized there are not much games that we can play, but queuing made us killed our time faster.
Something that made them feel excited about this trip, the casino! Too bad Jerry is under aged and the guard not allowed him to go inside. He needed to wait outside while I brought Lindsey to have a quick look inside the casino, still dislike the smoky environment.

One more day to go!

The journey continue



After had some photo shooting on the twin tower, we moved inside the mall and enjoyed window shopping before went off to next.
We brought them to Aquaria, is a must when we are in KLCC. The entrance fee is RM10 differ with MyKad holder (RM35) and non-MyKad holder (RM45); we managed to get them MyKad rate tickets like us while the ticket-man was studied on my cross-ring. Woot
Found many of this hammerhead shark design lamps on the top of us, like the blue ray that make them look real.
We were lucky to bump into their daily feeding session, they prepare different kinds of fresh meat for their fishes and other species. 
Found this fake diver in the Oceanarium. It's a 90 meter transparent underwater tunnel with a moving walkalator to take us on our journey beneath the depths, we went inside twice to get better photo on the fishes. 
The entrance of the Oceanarium, a shark mouth! We love to act wherever we are, especially me they said.
I don't like huge jellyfish because they have long and yuckie stings, yet I can accept the tiny one, looks cute and harmless.
Spent around half hour at their souvenir shops but ended up bought nothing.
After the underwater journey, we went to Pavilion, we walked from KLCC over here, can't really felt my legs after this walk. 
The thing that never change in Pavilion, the water fountain right in front the entrance; I like it in red color. Peep the Uniqlo shoplot behind, regretted not to get a piece inside. Sigh.  
You guys should know what shop we were in with above photo, was likely to see them make the sweet but they took long time to finish.
I didn't get one for myself, but Jie Xiang and Lindsey did, for their friends and family. Yet, I tried a few in the shop, laugh
Rushing up to Tokyo Street before we were leaving for our dinner at Lot 10 HuTong; and surprisingly Kampachi is in Pavilion!
Can't really find stuff that I like in Tokyo Street yet it's another food heaven for food hunter. Lot of shops selling nice food.
Lindsey and Jerry found this Jumbo Wagashi interesting, they also have it in Taiwan, so they bought some to try on the taste.
While waiting for our Jumbo Wagashi, fainted to see they making the chocolate flavor wagashi, I'm not into sweet thing like this. 
Waited for around 10 minutes, ta-dah, our Jumbo Wagashi were done, I chose the original one; I did tried on the chocolate flavor, it taste good for a bite but in whole it will be a little bit too sweet for me.
That's all for the first day; we took monorail to our hotel, and they changed the access card to token, feel to keep one with me!
Always been here for last 3 years, so happy that we don't need to hustle in KTM, but just LRT and monorail for this trip.

More and more to come, with slow pace.
