Isetan 1utama is always never ceased to amaze me as it always surprise me when it comes to their Eat Paradise! The Eat Paradise has amazing choices of eateries to choose from and it’s also a non-halal place! After much pondering around that fantastic and tantalizing floor of foodie haven, we spotted the sushi bar name Ichiro and it has been on every foodies radar for quite a long time.. The restaurant is really tiny yet inviting and comforting and you also can order the food via iPad.. They have 2 seating options which are at sushi bar area or just ordinary table.. There is a super long waiting list to get in so be patient as the wait is totally worth it for that amazing sushi! We opted for a sushi counter seating as it was lovely to witness the chef at work and creating delicious sushi and sashimi.. Their portion is generous for the price you’re paying especially the Unagi & Salmon don (RM37) which is really beautifully plated! The unagi is has this amazing balance between sweet and savory and it was really meaty alongside the aburi style salmon that is cooked nicely on the outside and perfectly tender and raw on the inside! The fats just melts in your mouth in every bite that is an amazing marriage in heaven with their fluffy sushi rice.. A must try for every Japanese food!

It’s a creamy and refreshing end of the Anzu set which comprises of the starter, main and dessert for a reasonable price of RM44 which is an amazing deal! Well this is Anzu set is actually their version of a surf and turf as they have the fried pork cutlet and the silky tofu which enveloped the interior of the seafood like a second skin! So you will get the best of both world in a plate! Love the succulent and juicy pork cutlet that was fried perfectly with a crispy exterior skin.. The almond jelly as the dessert was a great end for this set as it brought out a refreshing taste with slight nutty and creamy notes! A must try set!

This dessert has layers of textures to accompany the smoky ice cream such as the nutty and sweet azuki bean paste and the crunchy cornflakes at the base of the cup😍😘☺️ #afoodiesaffair #japanesedessert #tsujiri #icecream #hotday #mondaymotivation #burpple

When you are craving for something that is rich yet nutty which has the consistency of a peanut butter but a healthier option. Then you would turn to the Mediterranean cuisine for that thrill of having food with tons and tons of spices, textures and flavours!
Thank god to the food gods for bestowing us this amazing gift of Shawarma king that opens in Bangsar which is located the same row as Joy St gelato and you can have those healthy snacks for supper too!
Well it was a small little space but you can feel that you’re in marakesh with the colorful and carpet decorations.. We had the pleasure to try out their hummus!
It’s a traditional hummus (RM12.90) which comes in a small bowl served with olive oil and it is perfect for 1 alongside a piece of warm bread that resembles a tortilla.. The texture of this hummus is really silky, rich and creamy with a slight nutty texture! Love their chickpea dip and it was really well seasoned

In the little space of Iloha nestled a small yet homey Japanese tea house hails from Kyotonabe, Kyoto! The people behind this Maiko Tea House is an extremely passionate and are like energizer bunnies to showcase to you and share the delights of Japanese tea! We only know the matcha tea which is famously poured in Japanese restaurants or sold in supermarkets but in this quaint little tea house, you will be amazed with that enormous range of teas from Houjicha, Sencha to its signature which is the Gyokuro tea that is award winning and has this really interesting yet umami type flavour profile; think of chicken essence.. They also features sweet treats like Houjicha parfait (RM18) which is Home made fresh and it was a filled with layers of complexity yet it managed to retain the freshness and not bring too rich! Love the smoky taste of the Houjicha tea ice cream which was accompanied by the freshly cut strawberries and mango together with sweet cubes of Nata de coco and a cloud of whipped cream!

We love desserts! And especially it is made with soy bean. When we got to know that the Li Damansara Jaya offers a Malaysian version of a panna cotta known as Soy Milk Panna cotta (RM10) that is inspired by the local favourites; tau foo fah! We immediately ordered it without an ounce of hesitation! It doesn’t take very long to wait for this Malaysian panna cotta to arrive for us to savour it. In terms of appearance wise, it’s presentation does looks somewhat similar to a Japanese Ikura chawanmushi just that it is a the cold version of it.. Portion wise is quite small and just suitable for 1 person to enjoy it but it does have a vibrant color that pops from the pineapple jam and it was being surrounded with a pool of sweet and sugary sauce of Gula Melaka and transparent pearls of Sago! The moment we dived in the bowl of it and we can felt it through our spoons on how delicate, silky smooth yet firm the texture of their panna cotta! It was abit jiggly but the moment we had it, it was truly electrifying as the texture was really smooth and silky and it immediately sprang to us that they achieved the consistency of a Tau foo fah with the soy milk panna cotta and the sweetness of the Gula Melaka helps the panna cotta to have a slight dash of palm tree sweetness to it without being too overly sweet or over powering and the pineapple jam was really smooth, with a hint of natural sweetness from the pineapples alongside the sourish acidity from the pineapple fruit itself! It was really a heavenly combination of bubbly and silky smooth texture together with the sweet and sourish taste from the toppings! Loved it!
