Fave Places To Eat

A rare Filipino gem of a restaurant on Jalan Gereja, walking distance from Masjid Jamek LRT station. My favourites include the Sisig (pork cheek/ears on a sizzling plate), fried milk fish, Pata (crispy pork knuckle), stuffed squid and tortang talong (eggplant omelette). They even have a karaoke set for the brave to sing!

Glistening crispy chicken wings covered with delicious sauce. Chicken is crispier and bigger than Kyochon!

Not too sweet, pillowy and cream cheese was delightful.

Mazesoba but with linguine and pork lard. Pretty yummy!

I always come out feeling satisfied from Madam Chiam. As a native Cheras-ian, this has been my go to chilli pan mee for years. There’s something so simple about it but yet the flavours are great and the texture is extra creamy. A small sized bowl is never enough.

Fried rice with enough “wok hei”! Fried egg is also always runny with a tinge of soy sauce, which adds that extra creaminess to the fried rice. Their chilli is also a really good accompaniment to the flavours overall.

Gotta be one of my fave places to eat healthy, wish they had more outlets! There is a plethora of cold and hot dishes to choose from. I had the kimchi, sautéed mushroom, zucchini/eggplant and stewed pumpkin with pesto chicken and rice. Chicken was not memorable but the rest played to their strengths of being simple comfort food. Shoutout to their miso caramel sauce, something sweet tooth’s will love!

I appreciated the generous toppings of tuna, squid, salmon, tobiko and even some negitoro on the side on my bara chirashi bowl. Next time I’d drop by to try their poké bowls as well!

Pictured is the rump steak, medium rare (RM80+). A truly accidental order as I was going for the ribeye steak instead. Nevertheless, steak was cooked and seasoned perfectly, not chewy and absolutely tender.

Side potato salad was rich and full of flavour but not cloying, and the salad was fresh. I have to say, I left the place feeling quite thirsty (not in a good way even). But if you’re craving for good steak, you have to visit!

One of the better poke bowl spots around. Even with only greens, it packs a satisfying punch. Pick from 3 sashimi flavours - shoyu, spicy sriracha and lime. Don’t overlook the herb chicken and shrimp bowls as well, they’re surprisingly delicious!
Price is a tiny bit steep, but they also have corporate discounts if you’re working in a company on the corporate list.

I have a slight dislike for basil in my soup especially in pho, but this basil-infused oil broth was scrumptious. The basil flavour is not overpowering and if anything, there’s only a fleeting hint of it in each slurp. The noodles were also perfectly al-dente. The pork belly was deliciously tender and had the right amount of fat. If you’re not a fan of meat fat, I’d suggest going for the usual pork shoulder instead.

The only down side was my over cooked ajitama 😪 But definitely one of my new favourite ramen spots besides Menya Mushashi at 1U!

This bowl that has pork belly costs RM29, normal ramen bowls are priced at RM23.

One of the best Japanese buffets around with a price that doesn’t leave you feeling the pinch in your wallets. Sashimi was fresh, nabeyakis were good, grilled fishes were seasoned nicely and the black sesame ice cream was a nice surprise! However, their oysters aren’t the freshest, but who’s complaining when you’re paying RM70++ for unlimited buffet time and other good dishes?
