PNP Restaurant – Japanese Cuisine Artistry at Faber Imperial Court

A symphony of art, culture & epicurean delights.

Jyo Nigiri-zushi 7 Shu – 7 Types of Special Hand-made Sushi (RM 110)

People and People (PNP) offers traditional Japanese carefully prepared by a renowned chef to transform each dish with creative flair in his choice of ingredients and selective cuts of the finest produce. The spiritual essence of traditional Japanese cuisine is fully preserved yet enhanced with his maestro touch.

Personally I’m never a huge fan of eating raw fish and seafood but I was convinced by the chef’s professionalism and food quality to give a try. Needless to say I helped myself with a few pieces and indulged it. One of the nigiri sushi I’ve got to highlight is the soyu maguro, tuna marinated overnight in soy sauce giving it a whole different level.

Take Sashimi 5 Shu – 5 Types of Fresh Raw Fish (RM 110)

The chef also incorporate aesthetic elements of arrangement and presentation as practiced in Ikebana (Art of flower arrangement) to produce a 5-Star presentation.

Ultimately, guests will revel in a dining experience that is a feast fit for a king. I mean, how often do you see sushi beautifully plated like that?😍😍

Salmon Aburi Maki – Torched Salmon Roll (RM 38)

This was one of the few memorable dishes I had throughout dining here, I really enjoyed the lightly charred flavors on the salmon. Highly recommended!💖

Kani Chawan Mushi – Crab Steamed Egg Custard (RM 18)

Generous amount of crab meat topped on the creamy egg custard. The crab meat was simply sensational and barely rubbery. I could help myself with another one or two!

Karai Kasen Udon – Spicy Seafood Udon Thick Wheat Noodles (RM 35)

Perfect dish to warm your insides! Obsess with the chewy udon noodles soaked in the rich flavorful spicy broth. It wasn’t too spicy for me, so I had it all bottoms up.😋 Everything about this dish was so spectacular, another highly recommended dish.🍜

Kurogama Ice – Black Sesame Ice Cream (RM 12)

Green tea ice cream is overrated and almost everywhere but finding REALLY GOOD black sesame ice cream is tougher. Nutty richness of the black sesame was intensely decadent. It wasn’t too sweet and the red bean paste complemented the ice cream admirably.

Yuzu Sorbet – Citrus Fruit Sorbet (RM 12)

Simply refreshing and delightful yuzu sorbet that refreshes the palate after a heavy meal. It was so irresistibly tasty to have with citrusy-floral essence of the fruit.

Mochi Ice – Japanese Mochi Ice Cream (RM 15)

Soft chewy mochi bursting with black sesame ice cream inside! If you’d like to have black sesame with some texture then you should totally give this a try.

Chi-zu Stikku Ice – Cheese Stick Ice Cream (RM 18)

By far my favorite dessert here! Thinly shelled cheesy-licious ice cream. It was like having cheesecake in one bite: creamy, rich and savory.❤

At PNP Japanese Cuisine Artistry, they elevate the joy of fine Japanese dining to new heights of passion with a creative approach. Visually, the dishes will be a feast for the eyes and food for the soul.

Psst! There will be an exclusive group of traditional Japanese dancers who will provide twice nightly performances on weekends. This is the first restaurant in Malaysia to host this!

Three Brothers Restaurant at Subang 2, Shah Alam

Back at it again with some ‘super atas’ dishes here at Three Brothers Restaurant. Just so you know, this isn’t your ordinary family restaurant. The simplest dish in their menu could be a little extra than usual.

Egg Floss served with Crab Meat – RM 76

To start with, their egg floss was crisp to perfection and paired well with some bits of crab meat along with some generous amount of ebiko. It was a really refreshing appetizer as it wasn’t too heavy to begin with.

Wrap them in fresh cabbage leaves with some of the chili sauce that came along with this dish. 💯👌

Cheesy Scallop Mantou topped with Ebiko – RM 12/piece

Now here’s what you don’t get from other restaurants. This delightfully simple yet  luxurious Mantou filled with creamy scallop chunks and scrummy pork bacon bits interior baked with cheese. Yasss! 

Not going to lie but this is pretty darn addictive.

Steamed Clam topped with Minced Garlic & Chili – RM 12/piece

The texture is pretty superb with a combination of bouncy, slightly rubbery but easy to chew. You could still taste the natural flesh sweetness that complement the minced garlic & chili so well.

Braised Fish Maw & Stuffed Cabbage Rolls – RM 98

The fish maws were pack with flavors as it soaked up the enriched gravy while their cabbage rolls were simply delectable! Could I get more broccolis to dip the sauce though? 🤤

Garlic Roasted Iberico Ribs Platter – RM 176

The winner takes it all as Three Brothers Restaurant specializes in Iberico dishes. All-time favorite and loved by many will have to be this platter. The ribs were really juicy and ridiculously rich in flavors. It complements with the mint sauce very well as it gives a refreshing bite to it.

PS: Don’t fret about getting your hands dirty, gloves will be provided.

Slow Cooked Iberico Collar served with Steamed Mantou – RM 88

Heart eyes for this because I’m a sucker for mantous, and eating this with a slice of Iberico Collar? Delicioso.💖 The collar texture is a little more tougher and less juicier than the ribs but his would be a great alternative.

Who would’ve thought of adding some orange marmalade and barbecue sauce would bring this a whole different level.

Sous Vide Iberico Loin served with Pickled Cherry Tomatoes – RM 168

Though this may not tingle most taste buds, it is safe to eat this medium-rare pork loin. The texture is quite squishy but its really flavorful. Have it with some tomatoes to make the experience a lot more pleasurable.

PS: After a few bites you’ll actually enjoy this.😉

Caramel Roll with Red Bean Fillings – RM 18/6 pieces

Soft and chewy texture, the caramel roll actually tasted a lot like gula melaka with the sweetened red bean fillings weren’t as sweet as they looked.  Such a palatable dessert to end our meals with.

Mochi with Durian Fillings – RM 30/6 pieces

As the durian hype is still ongoing, you’ve got to order this as your dessert! It has that soft yet slightly springy or most would say ‘Q’ texture with durian fillings making it so much more enjoyable. Plus the ‘atas’ touch of gold leaves on each mochi.

Love,

ViolaflowerCafe at Bukit Jalil

Food ○ Coffee ○ Tea ○ Dessert

As thrilled as I am to have Pavilion Bukit Jalil to be up, barely a month old Violaflower Cafe, serving Yōshoku (Western-styled Japanese cuisine) marks its spot just across the building site. You’ll be greeted with the flowery and cozy ambiance upon stepping out from the elevator.

The floor-to-ceiling window brings in great amount of natural lighting into the cafe making it the next insta-worthy spot in this area. Settings are simply engaging, perfect date spot for the ladies and couples.

Gyu Kimchi Salada – (RM 22.80)

The sirloin strip makes it an ideal for a quick and healthy lunch, such as this warm salad. Got to love the decent amount of heat from the kimchi as well, so flavorful and simply delicious.

Note: Sirloin strip could be replaced with chicken if it does not meet your dietary restrictions!

Okonomiyaki Omelette – (RM 23.80)

I’d highly recommend this for brunch. The okonomiyaki-styled egg beautifully topped with bonito flakes were fluffy and delish. Pumpkin korokke was something refreshing instead of using potatoes and the chicken skewers were pretty flavorful.

Tori Mentai Pizza – (RM 20.80)

This has to be one of my favorite dish! You got to have this piping hot when its served right away before the crust turns soggy from all the sweet amount of toppings. 
Trust me, you’ll be hooked.👅

Salmon Mentai Miso Pasta – (RM 22.80)

Salmon was cooked to perfection, the pasta was good and cream sauce was rather interesting as there was a slight twist to it by adding some mentaiko sauce and miso paste in it.

Tilapia Teriyaki Pasta – (RM 22.80)

I’ve got the admit the chef knows how to work its way with both salmon and tilapia. Lol,  it looked like chicken at first sight though! Not a huge fan of tilapia because it often has that earthy (‘muddy taste’) flavors that turns me off but this tilapia fillet barely has a hint of earthiness making it so enjoyable. I’d recommend this pasta dish in their menu.  

Kichitori Rice Bowl – (RM 18.80)

Who wouldn’t love rice bowls? Because I flippin’ do! It was really hearty and chicken was amazingly cooked. 100% a mouthful of comfort.😊😊

Tokusei Curry Rice topped with Omu Egg – (RM 18.80)

Grab your knife and slice through the top of the omelette from one end to the other, one of the trending food porn dishes are available right here! This will definitely satisfy your cravings. I’m obsessed with their curry.🍛 

Teba Karaage (RM 15.80 / 3 pieces)

Crispy, succulent golden brown chicken wings! There’s two flavors to choose from: Niniku Garlic or Korean Spicy. You’ve got to go for both flavors for just an additional RM 1.  

NOTE: If you’re not sure what to order from their menu, SURPRISE YOURSELF! You know how us girls can never give a specific answer when it comes to “What to eat?”🙄, get a dice from their service crew and let it roll to the number. Please don’t tell them you don’t like that number and choose to roll again, just let the professionals do their job.🤦

Poppukon Latte – (RM 14.80)

Instead of having your regular latte, why not dazzle it with some caramel-drizzled popcorn? Don’t leave your popcorn hanging for too long to avoid eating them soggy.

Americano – (RM 9.80)

Got to give props to the owner of this cafe for putting details into it. Would to return a smile to that adorable hedgehog?

Miss Pink – (RM 17.80)

If you’re not a caffeine person, you should totally go for this drink!

My first thought on it, it’s going to be ridiculously sweet from the amount of strawberry syrup at the bottom of the bottle but after shaking it all evenly, it tasted really refreshing.

You get that nice tanginess from the yogurt and sweetness from the strawberry.

Would totally recommend ordering this to go for.

While I was there, I’ve got to take an insta-worthy shot as well. Loving the garden-like backdrop!

Mix & Match Set Lunch at Sushi Zento 膳户 Japanese Restaurant

The struggle when stepping into a restaurant and you can’t decide which dish to go for especially when you’re on a tight budget with only one stomach.😰

Sushi Zento is back with their Mix & Match set lunch where you can pick any 2 dishes as per the menu above! If you’re only craving for that one dish, make it double!✌
It’s only available on weekdays excluding public holidays and strictly for dine-ins only.

• RM 17.90++ : 11:30 AM – 12:59 PM (Early Bird Promo)
• RM 19.90++ : 1 PM – 2:15 PM

Portion wise is pretty decent, not too heavy nor little.
Some dishes may be a little small but at least you’ll get the best of both.😛
Anyways, here’s a quick peek on some of the dishes from their menu!

EB02 – Saba Steak (Mackerel Steak)

EB03 – Tori Drumette Karaage (Deep Fried Chicken Drumette)

EB04 – Salmon Teriyaki (Grilled Salmon with Teriyaki Sauce)

EB05 – Saba Shioyaki (Grilled Mackerel with Salt)

EB06 – Hotate To Kinoko Butter Itame (Stir-fried Scallop & Assorted Mushroom with Butter)

EB11 – Wakadori Karaage (Deep-fried Marinated Chicken)

EB12 – Buta Kakuni (Stewed Pork Belly)

EB13 – Ebi Teppan (Pan-fried Prawn with Garlic Butter Sauce)

EB16 – Pork Katsu (Deep-fried Pork Cutlet)

Personally I’d recommend these few dishes; the Buta Kakuni (Stewed Pork Belly) was ridiculously flavorful also has a perfectly balanced sweet and savory flavor to it. Not so Japanese, but it doesn’t matter!😂 Most importantly its super soft in texture. The Pork Katsu (Deep-fried Pork Cutlet) was crispy and golden brown outside, tender and juicy within. Ebi Teppan (Pan-fried Prawn with Garlic Butter Sauce) will definitely be loved by ones who enjoy garlicky dishes. Their Salmon Teriyaki (Grilled Salmon with Teriyaki Sauce) and Wakadori Karaage (Deep-fried Marinated Chicken) aren’t too bad as well, that’s if you don’t mind the portion.

You should consider bringing your friends, family and even your colleagues over here for lunch! To spill the beans, there might be a really special promo happening on their restaurant’s anniversary and you wouldn’t want to miss it!🤫

New Year’s Eve Reunion & Spring Packages 除夕团圆套餐 新春套餐 at Three Brothers Restaurant 三兄弟

Chinese New Year reunion dinners never always has to be in fancy restaurants and hotels but somewhere around your neighborhood works the same. Here in Three Brothers Restaurant, you’d be able to enjoy premium quality dishes and probably dishes you wouldn’t expect to have it here at all!

Yee Sang (RM 48/half portion RM 58/whole portion)

The Prosperity Toss was really refreshing. None of the elements on this plate were dry at all. Yes I know there’s probably nothing much to boast about yee sang because ‘it all tasted the same’ but not here …

Deep Fried Fish Skin (RM 12)

Red Clam Sashimi (RM 24) & Salmon Sashimi (RM 24)

Voila! The fish skin was crispy almost like having potato chips but a much healthier option. Salmon sashimi was ridiculously fresh and has a melt-in-mouth texture while the Red Clam or Akagai sashimi has a nice mild, subtle taste.

Double Boiled Geoduck Soup (RM 176)

This soup is loaded with goodies! Sliced geoduck, fish maws, muhsrooms, half chicken and many more! It tasted much sweeter and flavorful as the soup releases the flavors from the ingredients gradually.

Garlic Onion Steamed Grouper (RM 188)

It may not be a pretty but strange-looking fish but it is absolutely aromatic, delicious, and not greasy at all. What I love about grouper fish is that you get to enjoy more of the fish not needing to worry much of the bones. The sauce is what makes this dish even better!

Iberico Platter (RM 380)

Who would’ve expected a Hispanic-Portuguese inspired European dish in a Chinese restaurant which was definitely one of the show-stopping dish in the menu! This dish is often served as a dinner centerpiece in Spain. It’s like Roasted Turkey for Christmas!

Roasted Iberico Ribs

These intensely juicy and succulent pork with superior flavor these has an excellent meat-to-bone ratio which makes them so immensely satisfying as well as exquisite.

Iberico de Cebo served with Rock Melon & Caviar

Deliciously cured Iberian ham in beautifully marbled and deep red in color. It also has a nice smooth fat with low melting point giving it a very aromatic with a long-lasting flavor, and a creamy, melting sensation in your mouth.

Pan Fried Iberico Collar

Taste as good as the ribs but more on a leaner and tougher texture. This delicious pork platter really does brings the authentic flavors of inland Spain to your dining table.

Money Bag served with Braised Fish Maw (RM 180)

More fish maws! I really enjoyed the chewy texture and how it perfectly absorbed the sauce. Oh did you know the money bag represents wealth and prosperity? Except its stuffed with minced pork and black fungus.🤣

Scallops & Prawns in Truffle Sauce served with Assorted Vegetables (RM 98)

Impressively rich in delicate flavors from the prawns and scallops along with the black truffle. I really love the crunch of the vegetables which gives some texture to it.

Crab Meat Fried Rice topped with Tobiko (RM 60)

You know its a good fried rice when you get that oomph on your first bite. The fried rice is filled ‘wok hei’ and you get that nice popping sensation going on in your mouth as you get some of the tobiko or fish roes.

Alcohol-free Tiramisu topped with Chocolate Sauce and Gold Leaves (RM 60)

What makes this tiramisu so special? No, it’s not because its topped with gold leaves. This tiramisu flew all the way from Italy! And the taste wise, it is squisito regardless there’s no alcohol contain in it. I really love how the coconut flakes played along with the Tiramisu!

Are you still planning a venue for your reunion dinner? You should really consider having it here! Here’s the package of what they’re offering this Chinese New year!

Saturday Japanese Buffet Dinner at Kin No Uma, Palace of the Golden Horses

If you’re looking for a quiet yet calm and cosy Japanese dining spot for your friends and family during the weekends, Kin No Uma is the place for you. The ambiance of the restaurant was still the same as almost a decade ago as per what I could remember.

To spark your appetite, check out their sushi and sashimi station! There’s quite a varietal of sushis to start with.

 

There’s also some salads you could have before moving onto heavier options.
I’d shamelessly dive straight into main course though!

If you’re not too fond on seafood or raw food, you may opt for some Grilled Chicken Teriyaki, Grilled Lamb Cutlets with Cajun-Spiced or simply something hot which will be at the main course section.

In addition, enjoy the selection at the Teppanyaki station with varieties to pick from!

Or perhaps some noodles if you’d prefer something lighter. Four choices of noodles to pick and paired with some fresh vegetables to be cooked together in a clay pot.

Tempura was really crispy and addicting it keeps going round after round!

As for their desserts, it would be nice to have some Japanese desserts or at least Japanese-inspired but it was a palatable to end with.

Diners will enjoy special discounts if you’re holding the hotel’s membership privilege card which also extends to GHHS Healthcare and Palace Vacation Club cardholders.
Here are the rates:
Two (2) Diners – 50% OFF
Three (3) Diners – 33% OFF

The Hermitage All Day Dining at Plaza Arkadia

“Cooking well doesn’t mean cooking fancy.” – Julia Child

This latest eatery in Plaza Arkadia which is only a few minutes away from Desa Park City that specializes in EGGS. Yas eggs I’m not kidding! Egg lovers rejoice!❤

Hipster-like interior yet keeping things simple. Food didn’t take too long to arrive and everything was served at the right temperature.

To begin with, let’s have some Energy Booster!

Salted Egg Yolk Garlic Bread (RM 12)

Nice crispy crust and super soft texture at the center. The garlic spread has a nice hint of salted egg yolks.

Orange-Pumpkin Seed (RM 15/each)

Muesli-Apple (RM 15/each)

33% Cocoa-Chocolate (RM 15/each)

Some freshly baked assorted muffins to have before starting the day or you could purchase them as next-day breakfast. It is indeed a decadent and healthy choice for breakfasts, brunches, light dinners or anytime snacks.

There’s also some petit croissants that would be paired perfectly with a cup of coffee.

Baked Butter Croissant (RM 14 / 3 pieces)

Croissants were served with Homemade Salted Egg Butter and Citrus Compote. It was definitely a wow-factor to have salted egg yolk chunks in the butter giving it a whole different perspective!

Almond Cream Crusted Croissant (RM 20)

These sweet decadents were served with Dried Fruits and Dulce de Leche. 
Dulce de Leche something similar to caramel except its made from condensed milk. If you’ve got a sweet tooth, this would be your kind of croissant!

Vanilla Crepes (RM 23)

The flavor and texture of these crépes were just delightful. They’re served with Light Butternut Cream, Almond Drops, Latin’s Milk Jam and Vanilla Ice-cream.

Alright let’s get back into something more savory.

Crispy Prawn and Squid (RM 25)

The secret to scrumptious deep-fried bites are the batter. It was really refreshing to have the tender rings and prawn along with the crispy batter dipped in their cod roe along with some kai lan on the side.

Wild Mushroom Soup (RM 18)

Hands down for this mushroom soup! I really enjoyed the texture of the soup as you’d still get some nice chunks and bits of the blended mushrooms. It was really flavorful and hearty to have especially on a rainy day.

Moving on, we’re here for the real deal … EGGS!🍳

Breakfast Plate (RM 38)

This is Hermitage’s interpretation of Breakfast Plate. Major wow-factor going on right here! BLACK TRUFFLE Scrambled Eggs served with choices of Grilled Home-made Chicken Meatloaf or Cured Beef Brisket, Hand Crushed Chat Potatoes, Ripe Tomatoes, Sauteed Mushrooms, Virgin Olive Oil drizzled on Fine Beans and petit Croissant. 

As simple as it looks and sounds, brace yourself for the wonderful flavors of the black truffle as it lingers in your mouth that keeps you digging in for more.

Cheesy Egg Roll (RM 32)

Egg Roll filled with Tiger Prawn, Wild Mushroom and Mozzarella Cheese topped with Bonito Flakes, Spring Onion, Cod Roe Aioli and Croissant on the side. I’ll leave the surprise for you on what it’ll look like inside but you’d definitely not be disappointed.😜

Brekkie Rossini (RM 38)

The Slow Cooked Ox Cheek was cooked till utterly moist and juicy. Brioche Toast was then topped with Poached Eggs, Foie Gras Butter, Black Fungus and Black Truffle slices.  It was just a burst of flavors from every element on this plate.

Vietnamese’s Inspiration Baguette (RM 22)

This light, airy Baguette has a wonderful crisp golden crust to it with soft fluffy crumb and the thinly sliced Cured Duck Breast in the baguette was absolutely juicy and tender served with Carrot Salad, Scallion, Kyuri Cucumber and Hoisin Mayo.
Mind-blowing bahn mi.

Salmon N Chips (RM 30)

I bet you’ve not seen this on Fish & Chips dish before but often in dim sum restaurants that’s usually wrapped with prawns or yam. Katafi rolled on Salmon and Chicken Terrine with Cod Roe Tartare Sauce and Chips. 
This is definitely something you should try when you’re here!

Aglio-olio (RM 30)

Your not so ordinary Aglio Olio pasta but The Hermitage’s way. The spaghetti was beautifully sauteed with XO Sauce, Garlic, Prawns, Scallops and Lobster Oil. Al dente, exploding with flavors with that nice amount of heat.

Duckling (RM 30)

Fried Duck Egg on pasta? Ugh yes. Penne nicely loaded with Cheese and Foie Gras Butter. How I wish the Duck Leg Confit would be completely soft and tender and the juices that run out when pierced.

Duo of Fish (RM 30)

If you’re a fan of rice bowl, Chef Simon’s Don Creations are your kind of comfort food.  Marinated Sashimi Grade Salmon & Tuna, chunks of Avocado, Soft Boiled Egg and Sesame topped on California Rice. It’s a really refreshing rice bowl to have especially if you prefer something healthier.

Vanilla with Dark Chocolate Sauce

Souffle is their house specialty and it is definitely something different than what you’ve tried from many places. This dessert comes with a rich French history it is not an easy dish to be mastered.

Here in The Heritage you’d be able to enjoy this dessert at a reasonable price need not going to any fancy restaurants just to have this particular dessert. The souffle has a beautiful melt in mouth texture that immediately dissolves and really moist at the center. Drizzled it with some Dark Chocolate Sauce to make it more delectable and soothe your soul with their Frozen Yogurt Ice-cream. The sweet and tangy flavors from the froyo tastes absolutely divine.

After some eggy palate adventure we had some refreshing blackcurrant lemonade to rinse our palate.

Other than that, they do bake some delectable desserts and Christmas cookies you could purchase.

Lemon Madeleine

Cheesecake

Chocolate Lava

As they’ve only recently opened, there’s currently 20% off the total bill!

Ichiban Boshi at Pavilion KL

Whenever anyone asks me “Any good sushi place at Bukit Bintang you’d recommend that’s really good yet affordable?” I’d just reply “Ichiban Boshi.” with a huge grin.

After visiting Yokoso Tastefully Japan (if you’ve not read about it click here), me and my homegirl Vanessa went window shopping at Pavilion and after a long walk we were craving for some hot drinks with good food which of course, we had to drop by!

We were craving for more Japanese food after all.

 

Chawanmushi (RM 4.80)

To begin with, we wanted some hot appetizer. The texture of the egg custard was comforting, silky smooth, really rich in flavors and was also beautifully cooked.

Their chawanmushi was loaded with sliced shitake mushrooms, a chunk of chicken and gingko.

It makes such a lovely starter!

 

Their service was fantastic and staffs were absolutely hospitable. Your cup of tea will never be left empty! They’d also ensure your overall dining experience was beyond satisfactory.

Next we’ll let the photos do the talking. One thing for sure, all of them were like having a party in your mouth!
