Grandmama, Pavillion

I like the cover of the menu! Grandmama on a big bike.

Well, well, hopefully service here is fast, just like 

grandmamma zooming away on her bike….and yes, I was impressed by the service. A friendly waitress ushered me to my table and within minutes of placing my order, a piping hot bowl of fish head noodles arrived.

Yummy….the fish was fresh, which was definitely a plus and I love the fact that the soup had lots of evaporated milk in it. Somehow, I always find fish head mee hoon soup more appealing when evaporated milk is incorporated into the soup. Thumbs up!!

Ippudo, Pavilion

When I walked into Ippudo alone, I was greeted in Japanese and I find this rather annoying, not because I don’t understand Japanese but because it somehow announces my arrival and I can see many heads turning. In fact the staff here are trained to greet everyone who comes in and also everyone who has finished eating & is about to leave. I find this a little ‘noisy’.

I decided to give the Ramen Combo set which was on promotion a try. For RM29.90++ I was given the choice of 1 ramen + 1 side dish or dessert + 1 green tea.

I decided on the shiromaru motoaji and a sake mentai rice. The waitress actually asked how I wanted the noodles done – soft, normal or hard. I chose normal and what I got was al dente noodles in broth. I love the ultra thin noodles which were smooth and slippery.

This is the sake mentai rice which is rice topped with grilled minced salmon and cod fish roe.  I love the fragrance of the rice and found this side dish very appetising.

These promotional sets are only available on weekdays from 11 am to 3 pm.

Morganfield, Pavillion KL

This is a non halal outlet serving what I would label as superb ribs. Today, I tried the set lunch which came with bottomless soft drinks…I tell you, if you can gulp down 2 glasses of their super tall soft drinks..I really salute you, lah!

I was first served with some salad - a light salad with tomatoes, capsicum, lettuce, cabbage and some onions, this was a great starter.

This was my main dish – sticky bones. The serving was generous and the ribs were simply juicy and succulent. I recall someone was told me that the ultimate test for ribs was that they should fall off the bones easily…and the ones at Morganfield, I would say, pass with flying colours.

Sushi Tei, Pavillion KL

A persistent yearning for Japanese food since this morning left me with no choice but to hunt for Japanese food for lunch at Pavillion. The first one I see is Ichiban Boshi, but nope, I’ve been there before… So I continue my search and end up at Sushi Tei. 

As I was on quite a tight budget, I opted for this  bento – Teriyaki Chicken and Salmon Sashimi which comes with chawan mushi and a bowl of miso soup. All for RM21.90 – not bad!

Frankly, the chawan mushi here looks different to me. With lots of crab sticks on top of a HUGE ..should I call it a cup or bowl…whatever…this must be the biggest chawan mushi I’ve come across thus far.

The salmon sashimi was fresh and when dipped into the wasabi, it was heavenly. The wasabi here is truly distinctive and certainly a notch above average. The teriyaki chicken was flavourful and all the chicken fillets were wrapped in teriyaki sauce. Simply delicious!

I paid my bill and left, feeling really satisfied yet not too stuffed.

Ichiban Boshi, Pavilion KL

It was lunch time and I was extremely

hungry. I stepped into the first restaurant I

see and it happened to be Ichiban Boshi. I

recall I had once read  from their website

that  ‘Ichiban Boshi introduces Japanese

dining with a dash of modern simplicity’.

At 12.30pm the place is already quite full and

I sat right next to the sushi bar.

Waited for about 3 minutes and since no one

seemed to bother to take my order I reached

out for a plate of  salmon sushi which I

finished within minutes…Sigh! Still no sign of

anyone wanting to take my order.

As my patience was running low I called out

to the waitress who took my order. Hot ocha

for RM1.50 –which by the way is refillable

(but good luck trying to get them to attend to

you!) . I ordered Miso Yaki Udon.

I waited quite some time for my lunch to


arrive. As I was feeling rather bored (cos I


was dining alone) I looked up and saw rows


and rows of empty bottles – quite a brilliant


idea!

The chef was busy preparing  food. Mind you

I was seated right opposite of him and it

really made my stomach growl!

Finally my Miso Yaki Udon arrived. Oh!


What a small serving for RM15.90…luckily I


already had some sushi earlier! It did not


look appetising…and it didn’t taste good


either. (Remember I was very, very hungry).


Lots of udon were stuck to the hot plate, so I


didn’t manage to eat them all.

Well, better luck next time, perhaps!
