Daily Fresh on one cold rainy day at Sungai Buloh overhead bridge stop

It's rainy season again with gray sky above daily. And traffic jam at certain hours. The tired me decided to stop at the Sungai Buloh overhead bridge restaurant for a break and a food hunt.


A cold treat is nice on a cold day as much as a hot drink can provide. At daily fresh I decided to have the IceKimo, sour sop flavor. Nothing extraordinary. The guava topping is a bit gooey for my taste. 

 What I enjoyed was the corn in cup, piping hot mixed with mayonaise and raisins. Heavens! I never thought that I'd find such ever in Peninsular as I first discovered such food combination back then in Sabah!

Apparently there are other combinations too for the corn, for the adventurous lot.

Japanese food at Ichiban Boshi, Sunway Giza, Damansara

Before I start raving, I must state down my honest opinion about the Japanese food served here. Honestly, I feel that I've tasted better, the food here is just nice for their pricing (cheap and affordable) but service is very friendly. Overbearing in fact, due to the low number of customers on that day; the waiters keep hovering at my table which make it rather awkward to eat.

I will highlight only the extra things that we have that day, sushi on the conveyor belt are mostly common ones found on any conveyor belt sushi at any Japanese food restaurant and nothing new so I rather skip that.

 Yakitori chicken, my old favourite. Quite a serving, the yakitori sauce is pretty nice but as you can see, this dish is rather oily here. RM 13.90.

 Salmon belly sashimi. Fresh and sweet, the fat simply satisfactory indeed for RM 6.

My pirikara hotate yaki (scallop with baked cheese) on a bed of salt. Unearthed, the scallop is baked with a sauce with cheese on top. RM 12.90.

It's .. a pleasant place to enjoy afforadable and cheap Japanese food. For me, I wont consider to come back unless I'm pokai and craving mad. I'll put Sakae Sushi one rating above it.


Status: serve no pork
Price range:
- conveyor belt sushi: RM 2 - 6
- set meals starts at RM 20 + and pretty huge

More healthy ice treats - J.Co Donuts and Coffee

I actually was looking for YogurBerry outlet at Kota Damansara' Giant but found J.Co instead, another big donuts name in Malaysia. But unlike Big Apple and Krispy Cream, J.Co offered an additional bonus, a healthy choice of frozen yogurt.



I had my J.Cool yogurt with toppings of fresh strawberry, juicy orange slice, roasted almonds, chocolate chips and wafer. It's a "couple size" with 3 toppings + 2 extra for an extra charge of RM2 each. RM 15... Like I said before, being healthy sure is expensive...

All their tables have description of their coffee ^_^

Kiku Zakura @ Tropicana City Mall, Damansara

Today is pay day ^_^ I always celebrate my pay day with food. Today I was craving for Japanese food so here we go.

Today's spotlight shines on Kiku Zakura at Tropicana City Mall, Damansara. I've read somewhere on the Net that the place serve a pretty good Japanese fare so here I am. On their menu too was inscribed that they boast a wide range of authentic + fusion Japanese cuisine to satisfy the local Japanese food lovers.

Tatami seating. A very nice ambient.

Bamboos hanging at the entrance, and also waterfall greeting at the entrance.

My cutlery and green tea. Jobless picture.

Gyouza! Filled with succulent prawn and crispy radish, accompanied with sourish dipping.

Tori Asparagus -- just chicken wrapped around asparagus. Be generous with the lemon, or else it'll taste kinda bland, except for the sweet and crunchy asparagus. Best eaten hot.

Yaki Onigiri. It's a tad dry though.

Inari sushi and unagi. The inari is filled with rice mixed with sweet pickle and tamago bits, making it a nice sweet concoction. The Unagi is caramalized wonderfully, and slightly crisped.

Of course, a dessert of macha ice cream with banana and avocado. The macha needs to be tuned up a bit more though, as the taste is barely there.




For the whole meal, it costs us RM 117.20. But service and food are pretty good, the waiteresses were very attentive; I've never drink so much of green tea before as compared to other Japanese restaurant... Plus there are still lots of things that I have not tried, the menu is just way to extensive...


So I guess there will be a next time ^_^.
