Chelle's BurFday @ Ishin Japanese Dining

After reading Aly's food review on this place , I was dumbfounded to realize that there is yet another gemstone hidden along Old Klang Road!! Restaurant with good foods keeps popping out of nowhere along this familiar stretch~~~ I guess it's good new for food lover like me *yippie* ^~^

Hence when my dearest BFF, Chelle's BurfDay came, I suggested we patronized this fine Japanese Restaurant that serve Kaiseki style cuisines. When we arrived, the birthday gal fondly blurted " Eh, I never knew this is a restaurant, I always thought it's a showroom or something" ~~ ^-^"

The restaurant occupy a rather small square feet but it's got a very soothing and relaxing aura to it~~ I would say it's a good place to chill & have a good meal after a hectic day at work~~

Eventhough we visited on a Monday, it's filled with quite a number of patrons but mostly in their working clothes~~~

I don't need to comment much on the food 'cos a picture speaks a thousand words!! Have a look for yourself~~

Teppanyaki Seafood Course~~

that comes with Rice & Salad~~

Tempura Moriawase~~Mixed tempura~~

Sushi Pizza~~Chopped Salmon Topped Sushi Rice with Grilled Cheese~~

Hawaiian Roll~~Fried prawn wrapped with Mango~~~

Caterpillar Roll~~Soft shell crab wrapped Avocado roll~~

After a hearty meal, it's the "sing-a-song-blow candle-cut cake" moment!!

Nihon Kai

I was shocked when I read about this place from some foodies who apparently have nothing to say except great praises for this Japanese Restaurant, Nihon Kai which is located along Old Klang Road. I mean how could I never know about this restaurant after paving this road for countless times?????? Could I be that oblivious???However, after visiting this place, I realized it's not that I'm oblivious to the surrounding, it's just that it's tucked at the end of a row of shops that is NOT facing the main road.

Nevertheless, despite its location, it still managed to draw a huge crowds which signify real G~o~o~D food I assumed....I was warned that this place is usually packed especially on a weekend so it's advisable if you made booking prior to your visit.....Luckily, I went early on a Friday evening so we still managed to get a table without reservation but the tables were quickly filled up!!!!!

My expectation shoot to the Moon while waiting for the food to be served~~

Even though it occupied 2-storeys, I find the place rather un-spacious with tables neatly arranged next to each other.....We can actually eavesdrop the conversation going on at the next table but hey, being a virtuous being, I steered clear from it!! Well, my mind is more focused on the FOOD!!!!
