#DINEWITHME: UNATOTO (鰻魚) | ASAKUSA, TOKYO (JAPAN) 2018

Bincho charcoal-grilled eel to perfection!

 When it comes to the question "What to eat in Japan", one of the most common answer is Unagi - which means freshwater eel in Japanese. In this blog, I'm gonna share with you one of the Unagi restaurant which worth a try when you travel to Tokyo. 


Located just 5 minutes away from the Asakusa Temple, you can easily spot this restaurant from the main road. The queue time was killing, as we waited almost a good 45 minutes to get our seats.

The menu offers a variety eel dishes in different serving portions. For small eaters, you may opt for the Unadon priced at ¥500 (Appx. RM 18.50) or for those who loves a BIG meal, the "Surprise Weight" is the deal. A whole grilled eel served on top of a bed of rice priced at only ¥2000 is guaranteed to satisfy your unagi crave! 

We ordered both Unadon and Super Weight to try on. The unagi is incredibly soft and melt in the mouth - One perfect meal value for money.   

View full menu HERE.

Surprise Weight 
Whole eel (About 4.5 times the size of Unadon!)
(¥ 2000 @ conversion rate 0.037 = Appx. RM 75)


The "Super Weight" is humungous! 

No More
A classic style eel  
(¥ 800 @ conversion rate 0.037 = Appx. RM 30)


Come and check it out yourself!

#DINEWITHME: THE PENTHOUSE RESTAURANT & WINE BAR | SS15, SUBANG JAYA (KL)

Whooppsss...I just had my dinner!  What am I doing here? Come on, it's Friday! Let's chill a 'lil - Dinner extended. To be frank, I don't have much time to spend around ever since I've joined an award-winning agency few months ago. Life's pretty hectic everyday, with extreme workload and countless days of overtime.  And just because I have relocated myself to another area, my hangout place changes too. What makes the best option would be the one nearest to my office, with less traffic congestion.  Thanks to my bunch of friends whom always put me on a priority, they make the effort to come to a meeting point near me instead.  I was brought to this restaurant the other day by my friends and I found it quite a waste not to share such an interesting place with all of you.  Let me introduce you to -  THE PENTHOUSE RESTAURANT & WINE BAR. Upon walking in, I was amazed by their simple yet welcoming ambiance. I was ushered in by rows of wine displ...

#DINEWITHME: YUK SOU HIN | WEIL HOTEL (IPOH)

Done with my busy schedules, I finally have the time to sit down and blog about my dining experience at YUK SOU HIN @ WEIL HOTEL (IPOH) which took place about two months ago.  I was being invited by the hotel's PR Team at the first place to drop by and review the dim sum which was spearheaded by their   Hong Kong Master Chef, Mr. Chung Ho Shi but unfortunately I'm unable to attend. Later after that, I visited the restaurant with my mum when I dropped by in Ipoh the other day.  It was a busy morning. We went to the restaurant around 11am without any advance reservation, and it took us about 25 minutes to settle down with a table.  The restaurant was packed with customers that day, due to Public Holiday.  Not my first dining experience at Weil Hotel,  YUK SOU HIN  is the final restaurant to wrap up my adventure at this new hotel besides than  THE DECK  and  TIFFIN .  Bored while waiting, I started to explore around and tappin...

#COOKWITHME: KOREAN CORNBREAD / OKSUSU-PPANG (옥수수빵)

Hands up if you are big fan of #Corn ! Today we are going to make Cornbread, the Korean style - Oksusu-Ppang Oksusu (옥수수)  = Corn  Ppang (빵)  = Bread What is Oksusu-Ppang (옥수수빵) actually?  It is the memory of people who went to school decades before The American government was supporting Koreans' nutrition by sending them tons and tons of cornmeal. Some got the idea to make cornbread out of it and distribute the bread through the school system. After Korean War the school provided this daily snack to the students just before last class was finished. Oksusu-Ppang has an intense corn flavor and it's fluffy like a sponge. Let's start making!  __ CONRBREAD / Oksusu-Ppang  (옥수수빵)  (serves 4 - 6) Ingredients: 2 cups / 280 grams Cornmeal 1 large Egg 1 ½ cup Milk  ½ teaspoon Salt  2 tablespoons White Sugar  1 tablespoon Vegetable Oil 2 teaspoons Baking Powder 1 tablespoon Butter (to grease baking pan) ...
