I love Japanese food and frequent Japanese food outlets very often. My last trip to Yokoso Ichiban was a few months back, and I found the food there a notch above the many Japanese restaurants I have visited. Today, I make my way to SSTwo Mall once again, just to ensure that the food quality remains unchanged.
For the record, Yokoso is owned by a Japanese. In fact the
chef is also Japanese. Every time I walk
past Yokoso, it seems empty…but do not be fooled…there are people (customers to
be exact) enjoying their meals in the booths…so they are ‘hidden’ from the
outside of the shop.
The three of us were very hungry - we could have eaten a
horse each! Hence, the long list of food we had.
Salmon salad (RM25). With a price tag that is slightly steep for a bowl of salad, you cant really fault them for the pricing as every spoonful was s great delight. The salmon was fresh, and the vegetables were too. I love the presentation as well….especially those fat translucent orange ikura on top.
Edamame (RM8). I liked this as it was steamed to perfection – bright and fresh – not overcooked, and not too salty as well. Purr-fecto!
California maki – 6 pieces for RM18. I rank this as reasonably priced and superior in terms of taste. With every bite, I could tell that great care has been taken to select the best & freshest ingredients.
Garlic fried rice (RM10) – Generous amount of rice cooked with lots of garlic. The only downside was that it had too much seasoning…you know what I am talking about …taste enhancer!
Fisherman spaghetti – this is a set meal. For RM15 you get a mildly spicy plate of spaghetti, a bowl of salad and 2 slices of watermelon…and oh ya, a glass of ice lemon tea. I love the sour sweet taste of the ice lemon juice. It always refreshes me. As for the spaghetti, I’ll say it’s very yummy…I wanted to eat more, but then I had to leave some space for the other food coming up.
Temaki sushi and udon set (RM20). I’ve always labelled this set as value for money and after today’s culinary experience still maintain that stand. 2 hand rolls of different variety – one has tuna, the other ikura. A huge bowl of udon which I would describe as having a smooth, slippery texture. This set also comes with a bowl of salad, chawan mushi and 2 slices of watermelon. The chawan mushi had a feather light and smooth texture which I found very soothing.
The final instalment for the day was unagi bento. Frankly I don’t know why this is called so as it has some salad, salmon sashimi, unagi and some tofu served with a huge bowl of rice, chawan mushi , miso soup and of course, 2 slices of watermelon. For RM35, this is indeed a whole meal on its own. I love the way the sashimi was prepared –thick slices, allowing us to savour the original texture and flavour of the fish. Eating the unagi was a very pleasant experience as there was no need to search for tiny bones as we often do at many other Japanese eateries.
