✨: Go if you're a hotel guest. Otherwise, please, save yourself from the disappointment. ⁣

💬: The moment we stepped foot into the space, we were greeted with a 'couldn't be bothered' attitude. We should have left as soon as we were informed of the hefty RM50 cover charge. Nonetheless, we paid for the sake of Instagram photos 😅. Non-hotel guests are limited to a small area before the pool while the seats typically seen in Instagram photos here are reserved for hotel guests. The food and drinks were expectedly, nothing to shout about. ⁣
⁣
It is understandable that the hotel wants to protect the privacy of its guests, but the limitations on photo-taking on top of the photogenic backdrops being out of visitors' reach fail to even make it a place worth coming just for the gram. I couldn't help but feel a little cheated of my money 😅. ⁣

✨: One thing's for sure-- Lucky Tora is incredible for photos. Want that perfect Instagram shot and amazing food to boot? You've found your spot. Seated outside, we got the perfect natural lighting for the gram (bless the smoking ban). ⁣⁣

The tsukene (meat stick) yakitori pictured was delicious. The generous amount of minced chicken and veg wrapped around the stick was tender and a flavour bomb in of itself. The accompanying raw egg yolk is quite an acquired taste with a strong flavour one would call 'umami'. ⁣⁣
⁣
💬: The only downside for me is the price point, but even that can be justified by the stunning decor, friendly service, and high quality food.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I would definitely re-visit as many menu items intrigued me!⁣⁣

On an important note, using reusable straws is a simple step one can take to save the environment. Pictured are collapsible straws (they can fold into pocket-size!) from MEKO Malaysia [@meko.my] 🌍⁣⁣
