As a gesture of appreciation for helping a buddy out, I was promised a good dinner at Mont Kiara a few weeks back. After the assignment, as we were figuring out what to have, I spotted this nice little place called Zakuro on the ground floor of Plaza Mont Kiara. Since I’m such a fan of Japanese cuisine, the decision only took a planck time.
Ahhhhh, Sashimi Moriwase, yumm
To satisfy my stomach for this occasion, we ordered a Sashimi Moriwase, some tempura, kaki furai (deep fried oyster), and the BBQ squid. The free appetizer was, I believe, a slice of pumpkin, and our we ordered a bowl of fried rice and normal Japanese rice to go with everything else.
nice ambiance with comfortable chairs as well
The food took a while to come, but I guess that was only because they took the time to prepare with attention to details. The sashimi dish was arranged with some very good cut of fresh salmon, surf clam, tuna, butter fish, and some other stuff I can’t name.
The BBQ squid and tempura were similarly satisfying, crunchy and juicy respectively, and prepared with fresh seafood. However, the most delicious item has to be the kaki furai, this was only the first time I had tasted oyster prepared this way. The oysters served here were really hugey, the crunchy texture of the breading contrasting with the juicy and not overly cooked oyster was just perfect gastronomically satisfying stuff.
sashimi, tempura, squid, and oyster
The bill came to be RM 140 for everything. The sashimi was RM50, tempura & the oyster dishes were RM25, and the squid RM12. Pretty reasonable price for the quality of food as well as the rather nice dining environment.

It’s already the 4th day into 2007. Instead of writing a long post about what happened during the Year of the Dog over this blog (you can always look at the archive), I will take a page from Kim and list out the most popular posts from yesteryear.

Though I did not travel overseas for work like I used to in 2005 (went to Myanmar and Vietnam), I did take a week long vacation to Tokyo (7425 visits), Japan. The land of the rising sun.
It is difficult to pin down the best food I had to in 2006, but here are a few that I absolutely loved, in no particular order:
Motto for 2007, the same – Live to eat.
note: stats were from May 2006 to end of Dec 2006, I did not have awstats activated prior to that.
