Food of Devils - 2



A few weeks back, I pass thru a Sushi Shop that say they got a 30% off promo on Salmon Sashimi. I went in and try it. For RM30, they give 5 slice of thick Salmon Sashimi serve on top of ice and freshly grated wasabi. Compare to Salmon Sashimi that I tasted before, these slice is thicker and bigger. So it do commensurate to it's price. And I am very suprise by the presentation of the sashimi.

And so I promise myself "I'll be back"

This week I find friends to go and try it again with me. The shop name is Yuzu Japanese Restaurant. Situated just below MyYoga in Garden MidValley Kuala Lumpur. It is hard to be miss.



First I try the Salmon Sashimi. The one I choose this time not only include salmon but also belly salmon sashimi and Ikura (Salmon roe). The presentation of the sashimi is certainly the best I have seen from the many other restaurant that I visit.



The Ikura is small but very soft and tasty. Almost feel like it melt in my mouth and the sweet taste of sea fill my mouth. The salmon belly sashimi and salmon sashimi both taste fresh. Presented on top of



Next to come is the teriyaki chicken set



The teriyaki chicken is very different from the normal teriyaki sauce chicken. Yuzu chef have mix the normal teriyaki sauce with malt sugar to give the thick mixture that is not found in normal teriyaki chicken.




Next to come is my friend Salmon BBQ Wagyu Saikoro Beef set.



The black pepper use for the BBQ set seems to be of higher quality and is more aromatic giving a better taste for the salmon.


The wagyu beef taste fabulous. The normal beef steak no matter how tender it is cooked it will still be hard to chew. This beef felt like it melt in the mouth with the juice flowing out of the beef that is cut in cube.



Having try the mouth watering beef but just 4 piece is too little for us. So we decide to order more and also order another grilled Unagi.





The Unagi do not hold any surprises but it still taste great. The wagyu beef, still the great taste








That conclude my visit to this shop. It is quite expensive but worth it as the quality and presentation of the food is certainly higher compare to the normal Japanese sushi shop. And I definitely will be back again to try the wagyu beef again.

Daydreaming in Office

It is now 5am, I am in office, with most of my scheduled work done. Now is either time I take a short nap or day dreaming again.

My last entry although dated today but it actually happen on Tuesday. Just that I am too busy that day to put.

What happen today is even more confusing to me and making me start to fear, am I imagining things?

It all started like 3 weeks ago. With a girl asking to have a relationship with me in Facebook. I at that time kinda of bored and I notice the girl is attracting lots of other guys attention. So I taught maybe she just need someone to act like in a relationship with her so that she can get out of the mess. And so I agree coz I feel it did me no harm and it help her.

I barely know her that time. After some conversation, facts about her is slowly filling up. She say she is from Taiwan and now at Kota Kinabalu working. She like oyster, Starbuck Caramel Frappucino, Chocolate and Green Tea ice cream. She work hard at her job to earn money and save them.

If the next day is her off day, then today nite she will be off clubbing at some place. She live alone and do not keep biscuit at her house/room. She yet to kiss with any guys nor seriously date with anyone. She got stub at her tongue and left ear. She is outgoing and cheerful but certainly not someone who just simply start relationship with anyone.

Perhaps I should have notice this earlier but what can I say. I am a piece of wood I guess. Wood and did not notice that I am not randomly chosen as the person to start relationship with her.
It was something in me that attract her and that make her feel I am different from other guys that she meet.

I started a stupid joke with her today. Saying I wish to break up with her coz I found I am in love with facebook and not with her anymore. And then she become sad. Really sad. Heartbroken coz she taught I am serious. She even stop the relationship status with me. That is the time I found she actually serious.

It feels very weird coz I never taught I am an attractive guy. I never even taught I can actually find a girl to actually love me. A normal girl that is logic thinking at her mind to actually love me.

So am I thinking or day dreaming. Rite now I am thinking is to go KK and hug her. So that I can feel her in my arm and know that I am not imagining things.

The No.4 girl in my love life.

Some update of what have happen to me recently.

Mentally I feel I am very stress. A lot of things happen and I do not understand it.
I am the kind of people that search for control. I wan to be in charge or at least able to see and predict what will happen. When things go out of my control, I feel scared.

That is what happen to me and her. I always try very hard to understand her, try very hard to enter her heart, and everytime when I feel I am in the front of the door to her heart, I will suddenly find a very big lock tat is locking the door. Everytime I try to open this lock, I may find another lock another lock and another lock. Feeling so tired

On Tuesday, I have a short confrontration with her. Even after all these time, even after she make it so clearly that she don't want to be my gf, she still try to keep a lot of me special to her only. Such as only her can call me "Fai Fai". This time the quarrel is when she find out I got a new girl as my Kai Mui. She feel that Kai Mui can only be her. Kind of like if I have love her already then I can never ever love any other people again even if she dun love me.

The climax part of the confrontration is when she there say last time when she with me she very sincere treat me as only Kai Kor. So for her Kai Kor is someone that we can hold hand and walk in shopping mall? Someone that we can french kiss? Someone that we can always 撒嬌? I still remember the time when I just once a while go out with friend to some place and she will there say me bad coz dun bring her along to those place. Why do she do that? Why keep on hold me to her side but dun let me leave and dun let me enter her heart?

Like I say I try to understand her but the more I try the more I fail to understand.

Anyway, my relationship with her already is no longer special, since my 2008 birthday. That is the birthday I will forever remember. On 2007 birthday, I remind her and so she say, I force her to celebrate with me by reminding her. So I decide not to tell her on 2008. I cancel celebration with everyone so that when she finally ask me out, I will be free to go with her. I waited whole day, trying to think of excuse for her. In the end the phone ring and is from her. I taught the first thing she will say is wish me but turn out she just want to ask have I remember to help her bank in her credit card payment. My heart feel frozen but I try to sound normal by telling her I forget. And so she drop the line without noticing that day is my birthday. Even if I just mean a normal friend to her, I guess she should wish me birthday but at the moment I feel I am just a nobody to her.

电话响起了
你要说话了
还以为你记起我生日快乐
怎么你只问你的 Credit Card
是你忘了
还是你没记过呢

灯光熄灭了
音乐静止了
滴下的眼泪已停不住了
天下起雨了
人是不快乐
我的心真的受伤了

Midnite Introspection

Sometimes before sleep, I will think back what have happen in the day and think if I react the other way will it be better.

This habit has follow me for the past 20 years. Will it continue, I can't be sure.
But sometimes the introspection is not what have happen in the day but is about memory of me and *you. *you still have a very important place in my heart.

In a lifetime we have how many 10 years, I am now in my 3rd 10 years. For the first ten years, I use it for study and gain knowledge. For the second ten years, I use half of it to continue gain knowledge and another half of it to find a love one. In this third ten years, I feel I have found it.
But life is never perfect. *you can only take me as a special friend and not a lover.

I don't know what will happen in the future but I guess we are fated to meet but destiny not to be lover. Many things have happen. Now I guess I need to use rest of this 3rd 10 years to continue my life finding wealth, happiness, love and forgeting *you. Hope I able to achieve at least one of this things before this 10 years end.

Gambateh!!!!!

A few things happen these weeks.

First is I got a virtual GF. Hahaha. But no one seems to notice my relationship status change in Facebook. Those that know now is people that I told them myself. Kinda of sad and frustrated.

Second is again my office political things. Just simply let people do their work and you gain profit from good subordinate yet the boss like to play political things like don't let you change department, tiny increment of only a few bucks. Don't understand what is their gain from these kind of things.

Third is I am sick. Or should say my body finally cannot take it anymore. Since moving to shift work my work schedule have a big change. Now I work 4 days and rest 4 days. The 4 working days is futher divided to 2 day shift, 2 nite shift. Each day work for 12 hour from 8 to 8. Difference is just day shift is 8am to 8pm while nite shift is 8pm to 8am.

Because of this change my natural body clock is mess up. At nite 2-3am i will feel hungry and need to find food. When I sleep at 12am, I cannot sleep until 6.30 am as I use to. Sure will wake up around 3am. Afternoon also very easy feel sleepy. When sleep at afternoon, I will sleep till 7pm.

So today, I on medical leave and rest at home. I can blame it on the haze but I know the real culprit is still working late a nite when it is time I should sleep.

Food of Devils - 1

Sushi & Sashimi is always my favorite food. Even though my parent do not like it because it is not cooked. But I am not a good mother boy :P

So on 4 July 2009, along with my Sushi "kaki" ( Malaysian way of saying gang) I have gone to this new Sushi outlet at Tropicana City. Their interior design and menu is quite similiar to Zanmai/Rakusen but I heard it is actually different. Anyway this is the 2nd restaurant I seen that serve fresh Sea Urchin on their menu. (1st is Rakusen. Will talk abt it next time :P). However we are out of luck that night.

I begin my meal with my favourite Ikaru Cawanmoshi. At first look, it do not differ much from Zanmai, but once it taste the Ikaru, I can see there is big difference. The outer gel for this salmon is more soft and when pressure is apply to it, it will break letting it fluid out. Taste salty. The feeling is like sea in your mouth. After trying this, I feel Zanmai is putting rubber ball instead of Ikaru.

Next is Green Cha Soba mee with fried salmon on top. The Soba taste ok. Same as other branch. But I remember Rakusen will also give quail egg. Sushi Tei don't offer this.

After finding the high quality Ikura serve in Sushi Tei, I order another Salmon Sashimi that include Ikura, Salmon Sashimi, Salmon Belly Sashimi. However due to this is order later I have to wait for it to be serve. I of course do not miss this opportunity to "help" my other "kaki" eat their foods

First thing is Tamago Unagi roll. Unagi wrap with egg roll. One word : DELICIOUS
Next Rainbow Roll. Salmon, Tuna, Avocado, Cucumber roll. First time I try avocado. Personally feel is not bad but not too special

Third is Beef Teriyaki Sauce and Beef Roll with Enogi Mushroom. Both is delicious. The beef is tender and not overcook.


After a long wait, my salmon Sashimi arrive. The Ikura is tasty just like the cawanmoshi. The sashimi is fresh and generous slice.


Finally is the desert that is compliment from the management. Reason is some of our order is not serve due to the order serve to wrong table. The ice-cream taste very good. Each icecream ball have different taste and have and icy outer layer.

Final verdict, the food taste is good but the service need to be improved. However considering that this restaurant is still new, some time need to be given to the restaurant before they can actually perform better.

Living in real world?

I have a facebook account. But I never show my real photo as profile photo. Some people ask why? A lot more call me cheating. But from what I can see, there is nothing real in this world.

The person that tell you they love you, how sure are you that this is true? Ask someone who just started to be in love, they will answer that they know it is true. Ask someone who just got cheated by their lover. And the answer is total opposite.

In the end real or not real is whether we wish to believe it is real or we do not want to believe it is real.

So why should I still show my real photo? Even if I say that really is my photo. There is no proof to you that what I say is true. The only thing you can is believe.

And the funny thing is, if I put a cute doggy photo, people will not mistaken that this person is a dog. However just because the photo I put is a pretty girl, they curious to know the truth. Thinking deeper into this make me wonder, whether they interested to know me or actually is just the girl in the photo.

Very attractive looking girl? That will be why you try to seek the truth.

Funny situation that I normally see is, the person who seeking this truth is no real either. They too is just using someone else photo, or a pet or maybe anime photo.

Living in this "real" world has make me come to conclusion, "real" world or virtual internet aka"fake" world is the same. Just like the photo I use at facebook, the "real" face you are seeing may not be real either. What we can do is just believe......

We need to always remember not to be surprise by what we believe suddenly become false.
That is how to live in this "real" world.

The Begining

Anything in this world would not happen, if we never take the first step to make it happen.

On April, on my way to Korea for vacation, up at 20,000 meter above the skies, I watch a movie call "Yes! Man". It teach us to open up. Try things we never try before. Just say "YES!" to anything without a pause. It is very interesting and open up a lot of new adventure to the movie main character. Turn his life from an average zombie life to adventurous guy, who know Korean, play guitar, work at managerial level in the bank and even meet up with a nice girlfriend.

So now here I wanted to try take the first step. Writing a blog and see what I will end up with.
