Chapter 138 - Mitasu Japanese Restaurant at Jalan Sultan Ismail, Kuala Lumpur

Chinese New Year is all about eating! At the very least, this is something that I enjoyed the most. I tried  my level best to reduce my food intake but the cookies in my house and packet drinks in my refrigerator had always made me to fall into a deep, deep valley.

Food outing has also become one of my favorite pastimes during the festive season. While work is still finding its way to my email, it is good to spare some time with family and friends. And the best reason to all gatherings is nonetheless, eat, eat and eat. I had like most of the cuisines during this season from Chinese cuisine to Korean, Western and Japanese. 

That is what OHANA meant

One of my favorites which I can’t help but to share with you guys is Mitasu Japanese Restaurant. Putting our “kiasu” head, we were the first few to reach on that day – I made my reservation early and I managed to get a private room which comfortably accommodate 9 pax in total. The minute we sat, we browsed through the menu and chose the food that we wanted to eat.

 Tempura

Fried Squid

This is awesome.

 Fried scallop

Takoyaki

Raw oyster and prawns

There is grill lamb!! :)

My first time eating so much of sashimi...

#happyshirley

 There is not much variety when comes to sushi.

Personally, I think that sushi in MAIU tastes better than the ones in Mitasu.

Fried chicken

First time everyone enjoyed the smoked duck salad.

I can't believe I can eat a bowl of Udon that night after having so much of food.

There's always a room for dessert.

Voila, and my family agreed that the food is nice and fresh!

Everyone likes it - not long after we left Mitasu, we started to crave for their dishes. Aiks! We should have stuffed our tummies so that there is no hint of regret.

If you really crave for Japanese food, you can opt for Mitasu Japanese Restaurant. For an adult, the price is at RM 64.50++ whereas for senior citizen, the price is at RM 48.00++. When comes to children, it really depend on the height. I personally feel that the price is quite reasonable for ala-carte Japanese buffet.

They are open from 6.00pm to 10.00pm on Mondays to Fridays. When comes to weekends and public holidays, they are open from 12.00pm to 3.00pm and 6.00pm to 10.00pm.

Chapter 137 - FIRST Mongolian-flavored seafood feast by Comot-Comot Seafood

Happy birthday guys!

It's the 7th day of Chinese New Year and it's another reason where we call for celebration. I was pretty honored the last time where I got the opportunity to try Mongolian-flavored seafood feast and that got me to get a bottle of the sauce. In this Chinese New Year, I took the opportunity to fire up my prawns with this sauce and holla, my family agree that it tasted good.

Will you be my guest? :)

This Mongolian sauce was created by Chef Sabri together with Comot-Comot Seafood, the first seafood delivery to one's doorstep. 

The idea to cook my own seafood was inspired from Comot-Comot Seafood. Take a look at this - the sauce goes well with any kind(s) of seafood from crab, clam, green mussel, king prawns, giant scallop, octopus, lobster and many others. By just looking at this, I got inspired here.

Perhaps, you should also try this sauce. It is available from RM 18.00 onwards. If you are still in the Chinese New Year mood, you can call Comot-Comot Seafood at 010-257 0797 and get them to deliver a seafood feast at your home.

Besides Mongolian sauce, there are spicy sauce and butter cream sauce. I like all of them.

The biggest yee sang I ever had

When I check their Instagram, they are now offering a Chinese New Year Family Set at RM 318.00 for 10 pax from 9 February 2018 to 9 March 2018. So, grab this chance and have a seafood feast today before the promotion ends.

After all, let's "siu ha ha" in this Chinese New Year!

Chapter 136 - The Touch City, Malacca

We are just a week away to Chinese New Year!!

In the weekdays, we rush through our work and ensure that we can complete most of it before Chinese New Year while during the weekends, we see ourselves shopping at the morning market and hypermarket, grabbing the best deals of the day in celebration of Chinese New Year.

Since it is a holiday season, many of us would plan ahead to travel. Why don't you have The Touch City in your travel list during this Chinese New Year? The Touch City is relatively new since they have just reopened after renovating for few years. 

Located at Durian Tunggal, Malacca, The Touch City is soon be Malacca's latest attraction. I never come across this place at all; it was just so coincident that my friends and I bumped into this place while traversing around in Malacca so, we decided to pay a visit there. We were amazed when we entered as we were greeted with lots of unique Chinese elements, highlighting about Chinese culture and lifestyle like the 12 Chinese zodiac, Chinese scholars, 3D mural art and etc.

Thanks to the "Discover The Touch City" game, we walked up and down, left and right, exploring the 19.8 ha site to get the right answers for all the questions stated there. Without this game, we would have given up and pave our way back home. By the time we completed the game, we were literally drenched in sweat. Thankfully, we were rewarded with an ice cream at the end of the day. 

Located outside of The Touch City, illustrating the lifestyle of Chinese community.

Don't judge by this map - it may look small but the place is actually huge.

You can simply spend a day there.

When I see this, it reminds me of Kublai-Khan, a Mongolian tribe. I know it may sounds unrelated here but hey, that comes to my mind.

Did you know that you will be blessed for the whole year when you touch the dragon?

Oh, I had my part time job during my visit that is to carry the red umbrella, ushering the bride out.

This is something unique here - those who can read Chinese would understand the meaning of it.

For those who can't, just look at the picture itself. Do you spot anything?

The largest and tallest incense

We took 10 minutes break here, recharging ourselves before continued with our exploration.

Hmm, do you need me to help here? I can crack the game for you.

I wonder how the community stayed in this tent - it was so hot inside.

Thanks Chef for rewarding us a refreshing plate of appetizer! I like it.

If you would like to find out more about The Touch City, you can simply visit here: The Touch City. Other than that, I suggest you to take this opportunity to discover The Touch City during this Chinese New Year with your loved ones. You will not regret after exploring this place.

Just remember to bring umbrella and ample of water bottles with you.
